My grocery had a leg of lamb or maybe that was part of a leg of lamb, 
on for $5/pound. That is about the lowest I've seen around here. I was 
tempted to get it, but I'd already decided on a pair of other dishes, a 
green chili stew and Phlip's potatoes/onions/anchovy dish. If they 
still have it or more of it on Sunday or Monday, maybe I'll try some 
lamb.

I made the green chili stew in a crock-pot last night and it went over 
fairly well today. My wife even ate some and liked it. I'll type in the 
recipe later. Biggest problem was roasting the tomatillos, which I'd 
never done before. I didn't have time to do Phlip's recipe this 
morning, so I will do it tonight for another family get-together 
tomorrow afternoon.

Good. Now I don't need to go dig it out. :-)

Yes, please. Just threw it together with stuff in the fridge... Only 
Adamantius and maybe a few others on this list. :-) You actually had a 
bunch of key limes at home? Or did you end up using concentrate for 
this? I can think of other situations where having this key lime or a 
chocolate mousse formula on hand might be useful.

Well, with egg nog and Pale Ale at every house he might quickly become 
too drunk to handle the sleigh.

Ummm. Don't get the key lime mousse and the wassabi for the spring 
rolls mixed up... :-)
