I'm not sure those gold-digging bimbos know how to cook from scratch, but they can always take culinary lessons after their harsh biblical lessons. <g> The stores here have heaps of food for all different tastes and budgets. Today at the fish market I bought fresh Alaska spot shrimp and frozen Alaska halibut, both at US$13.95/lb. Fresh troll-caught wild king salmon was available for US$21.95/lb, along with fresh sole and rockfish at US$8.95/lb, and Alaskan cod at US$5.95/lb.
