Cooked that $4.50lb flat a few days ago. Looked great so I took it to
our house for dinner. Thought it would last 3 or 4 days. We finished it
in two. Ate it with cabbage. Like two starving gluttons we ate it. When
we finished we sat hugging one another and wept for a while. God, I love
Corned Beef!**

Stopped at Walmart again this AM and prices were up to near 5 bucks. I
left with a scowl on my face. Went to a second store on my way to my
house ... same story.

This evening we didn't have anything in our house that seemed appealing
so I dropped over to our local Walmart Neighborhood Mkt. They had $4.50
flats and points at $3.50. I bought 3 points. Did I tell you I love
Corned Beef?
