Heather: I think you should insist that Jed bring you some good Texas smoked ribs, or beef brisket when he comes to Toronto. He could drop by Sonny Bryans or Dickie's or, heck, I'll bet he knows lots of good barbeque joints in Big D he could visit before making the trip. Smoked meat dosn't freeze well, but if he's flying it should still be pretty good by the time he gets there.DougR
