When's the last time you went fishing, Huette? It's never something you can 
count on- you can throw the lure all day and still not bring something 
home. And the next day you may limit. You can't plan for a feast like that. 
And it you just had everyone fill their freezer, well, then it's frozen, 
and you might as well buy it from a wholesaler.

My ex-husband is a serious sport fisherman. And he's pretty good at it. And 
yes, sometimes he'd limit out and we'd feast on fish that evening and fill 
the freezer with the rest. But most often a fishing trip meant that we'd 
have macaroni and cheese for dinner.
