 JW> (Eid) lamb at not too crazy price.

 SH> Nice.  We were looking at a leg of lamb the other day, but I can't
 SH> justify the $45 price tag.

That week the lamb was just $8/lb., the same price as beef sirloin
roasts. It was a large one, just over 6 pounds. Like I said to Sean
it'll served 10 generously, 12 in a pinch, so less than $5 per
person. Add 30 cents for a large baking potato, 40 cents worth of
carrots, $1.00 for asparagus (it is spring after all), 50 cents
for a glass of apple juice and 10 cents a cup of truly great coffee
and we're looking at a feast for $7.10 a head if I forgo wine and
dessert.

Then consider that a Big Mac combo is $9.49 plus tax these days.


Cheers

Jim
