My condolences. I picked up to packages of lamb shanks this afternoon, 3
shanks in each pack. On of them was $3.75 and the other was $4.06. SiL is
coming to visit next week and my lamb shanks with caramelized onions is her
favourite dish. Lamb Shanks are a funny thing. Sometimes I do not see them
for weeks. Then I start seeing them in stores but the price can range from
a very expensive meal to a very reasonable one.
