I figure it will work out for both of us.

One thing I did in the military was 'buy small' meaning collapsable stuff. 
My dining table for example is a 7-8 inch wide 3 foot long 'credenza' when
the leaves are down.  Seats 6 when up ;-)

Might!  Have to filter through the freezer.

Fo now, got some chicken parts defrosting to be added to a cassarole dish
with some of the tomato sauce base.  Don's defrosting some pork loin for
tomorrow.  I've got a pork bone and split pea pot started as well.  Nothing
much in that crockpot yet but pork bone and water and split peas.  I'll add
as i think about it.
