Must be because Easter is coming. I normally get two nice meatly lamb
shanks for about $2.99/lb (it's been a while since I bought any). What's
the big deal about lamb and Easter? Come to think of it, someone else was
complaining about the price of eggs. I just saw them advertised for $1 a
dozen at Kroger on television. I'll build some coops and raise laying hens
on my patio first before I pay more than $3 for some eggs. Or, I'll just
stop eating eggs.
