Hey, I did one better. Besides my y2k stores I stocked up on a couple
of cats and one dog. I know for a fact cats make nice Chinese chicken
balls (local restaurant charge and found guilty) but I'm not sure how to
cook dog. At any rate I want one of those large meaty bread not one of
those Taco Bell dogs We had a nice aquarium of pond fish going too.
DH wasn't too excited about turning the pool into a trout farm. DH
actually turned a couple of pond fish into fishicles. I can't believe
it. I hear all are excellent food iffn'n ya be hungry enough
