 DD> chicken leg quarters @ 29c/lb in 10# bags.

Even though I know you are surrounded by chiucken processing plant and
that they porbably make the majority of their profits from the
breasts I continue to be amazed by prices like that. That's less than
the cost of the corn they they ate when they were alive!

Around here whole chickens, legs and just drumsticks are all at
$3.99 per pound, $2.99 on sale and $1.99 if the $3.99 meat is on its
sale by date. Of course I'm 1000 miles from the nearest processing
plant and they dump any cheap surplues down there.

Another way to go; leeks are good in chicken noodle soup...

  I would finely dice some additional celery, leeks (both white and
  pale green bits) and carrots and toss them in with the noodles.-JW
