in 1987, we were able to buy our own building. 2aa batteries are included to get you setup and rowing fast! however, you have a fantastic selection, i instantly found 5 i liked, but decided on the silk pheasant design as it’s a christmas present. maybe do a third of the batch without and the rest with…baby coming in 3 months and finding foods everyone will eat that i can make ahead and freeze as well! however the usual policy is that you have to cancel at least 24 hours ahead or your credit card will be charged $10 per person.
