I think we've done all the shopping for our 2-person TG day dinner,
except for a couple jars of oysters to put in the stuffing.
We took the easy route and got a pre-roasted duck from Magnani.

The slew of dinner guests will be on Sunday, and I've done some
shopping ahead for that, including the aforementioned pork cutlets,
a supply of persimmons (they keep), and some fresh extruded (penne-shaped)
pasta. There is still more shopping to be done on Saturday.
