The whole sardines cost a lot less than the fillets. Walt saw them for 45 cents a can at one supermarket this week.<br /><br />Hope you all don't freeze this weekend. I remember when it was so cold in SF and the Bay Area about 20 years ago. In the city, a lot of beautiful plants were killed back then. I read that their might be snow right down to sea level.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-43132808431787799442011-02-25T06:45:10.371+01:002011-02-25T06:45:10.371+01:00Yes, we were usually barefooted.

The best are the one made in France (great with tapenade too). Unfortunately, I have not found cod liver in the Sates. I should Goggle it.

Here whether I go to the fishmonger or at the supermarket , they will do it for free except at one particular place (where they sell a lot of smaller fish and it is time consuming when other customers are waiting to be served).The Beavernoreply@blogger.com
