Oh, by the way....there is enough food left for me to send Jeff a plate to work and for us to have for lunch tomorrow.  So, I will figure the cost on how many plates I can get out of this one meal (with everyone getting a small second helping.)

*We bought 20 lbs. of seed potatoes for the garden.  After cutting off the eyes, I ended up salvaging 2 gallon jugs of peeled potatoes.  We can get three meal per gallon.  That is what you call frugal.
