It never hurts.  I have a friend who needs maternity clothes - but she's a
size 2 petite. (disgusting, but we don't hold it against her....)  Her
mother and her friends are going to teach her to sew so she'll have
something to wear.

That's definitely a good deal - it's a decent price around here, so I know
for Japan beef prices it has to be cheap.  BTW - be on the lookout for a
smallish box.  I found something the other day with Charlotte written all
over it.   

It's too bad I couldn't throw an Easter Kielbasa into the box, but they're
not shelf-stable.  I don't know if the tradition has made it onto military
bases or not, but people with Polish ancestry often have a mild sausage for
Easter dinner.  Central Connecticut has a big Polish population, so we have
four or so local brands of the stuff.  I'd post a recipe, but no one makes
their own.  My recipe is: go to the store and see if Rosol's, Grote &
Wiegel, or Mucke's are available.  There's another one too (Dave S.? 
help?) that starts with a J which I can't spell.  I then grab some Kosher
sauerkraut and heat both in the same pot.
