The batch of crumpets for Federal employees ( in the warming oven) will need to be utilized, now that the shutdown is over. Suggestions are requested- so far we have one cruise ship full of cats that has offered to take them all, if we throw in 8800 sticks of butter. (one metric ton).

Some of the non-giant wombats, and non-wombats, have suggested that we make croutons out of them, for a large toss salad.
