   My usual way of getting shrimp - a thousand miles or so from their salt   
   water homes is to wait until they've hist their "best by" (arbitrary)   
   date and are put on deep discount. Take's home and sucky-bag freeze for   
   future recerence. My problem would be is if the asparagus is fit to eat   
   or if it's all "woody".

   Shrimp as above and if you don't have a good price on canned crab you   
   can swap in "krab". I once was at the local Big Lots looking for a toy   
   for a gift exchange when I spotted cans of crab marked at U$1/con. I   
   cleaned the shelf. Never did get the big stuffed Teddy .... on that go.   
      
   I wanted to pay up and disappear before someone woke up and 86ed the   
   deal.  Bv)=

   I'd ditch the Miracle Wimp if favour of real Mayonnaise. Especially if   
   I have Duke's on hand.
