That fits nicely between a wedding in MD and a Retreat in MA, with a
couple days either side, so that looks good here...  Haven't a clue what
Fords' schedule might be...

The first... and I only buy them when they get marked down, being close
to their end date...  Haven't seen the latter...

Haven't priced the ones in Lee's Oriental or Canton Supermarket, but
those are a possibility...  ;)

So, a whole frozen one from Wegman's would work for that...? 

 ML> By the way, I do not favor wild duck at all (it

Less fat...?

 ML> One of the yummiest of foods, but last I saw them

I don't remember now what I was paying for them... maybe less than
that...

 ML> The French, at the foie gras farms, have it down to

 ML> You can get the very well picked over carcasses

Too bad they are so far away.... ;)
