Default Corned Beef Brisket and Other Grocery Shopping

I waited too late last year trying to catch the sales on Corned Beef
Brisket. The local stores ran out. I shopped at Publix today after
work (nary a soul there around 4:15 PM) and picked up two of them.

Popped them both in the stand-alone freezer. I'll wait until closer to
the 17th to buy the cabbage to go with one of them. The other I will
save until Fall, when Corned Beef Brisket is impossible to find.

I also bought a nice bunch of asparagus (hi Dave!) with thicker stalks
than previously available. Also some nice fresh yellow (not crookneck)
squash and zucchini. And a couple of ;arge Russet baking potatoes.

I looked for lamb shanks but they had none. Only some tiny shoulder
chops. I looked for pork "country ribs" and they didn't have any of
those, either. Nor any flank steak. I did get a nice bone-in ribeye
steak and a couple of 2 inch thick petite filets.

The weather is, as usual, up and down in terms of temperatures in March
and it rained most of Februrary. But it's supposed to be sunny all
weekend so I'm thinking grilling. Steak and vegetables.
