[at-l] Thoughts on freezing supplies?

[lwbooher@halifax.com (Leslie Booher)]

Oh, but the fun is in playing with the new gadgets.  When we got married,
everybody was buying meat slicers.  We got ours with green stamps.  Then, we
could never afford the kind of meat required for use in the slicer.  Spam,
chipped beef, and tuna don't require major slicing.  Finally, we wound up
passing the slicer on to some other young couple who had a burning need for
one.  <G>  Leslie (anklebear)
