For heaven's sake, patton-your wife should give you a well deserved smack for your attitude-you MEN are not the ones who have to scrounge something to cook and then prepare it. You saw the hoops xs and I have had to jump through to find food for extra people on short notice, and I even have the added pleasure of having groceries 20 miles away-that is nearly 1 1/2 hour round trip just to get something to fix-and xs has three kids to see to while she is finding and fixing the food. Unless you regularly stock enough food for the Mongol hoardes to consume at one sitting, it is not easily done-I pity your wife...
I may have mentioned it before, but we buy our beef by the whole cow...
i just wanted to see that in print again... ; ) LOL!
