That works! I'm going shopping tomorrow morning for some things we want
for Christmas dinner. We have no solid traditional food for that one
and Don wants ribs. He wants beef ones and Charlotte and I want pork
ones.

LOL, don't beef ones are ok when hot but the leftovers somehow are not
edible. His pork ones are great hot from the oven and as leftovers, so
gonna get both types (makes him and us happy).
