That's why I have a separate freezer. But this year I really wanted to
make a standing rib roast and I didn't happen to have one in reserve.
LOL I got the sales flyer, saw the price and it was only on sale until
Monday "or until they run out". So I went to the store yesterday
afternoon. Sure, I could have lived without the roast. But this year I
decided to treat myself to a really good dinner. There will be plenty
of leftovers for the freezer.
