They've got a number of different fresh herbs... :)   I suppose that if
they do have mint, it could well be the sort that your grandma used.

 JK> Yep Lol.. he did.. he said he like the idea of growing mint for things

So there's the answer.  (G)  Have you checked that one with your Mom? 
You might not have to get any at Wegmans, after all...  ;)

Certainly can imagine!  :)

I should have thought of that.  :)   But it is very nice to have it
already done.  :)

It actually makes a lot of sense for them to check back... Once we
adopted out a kitten from a litter that my sister had, to a woman who
thought she really wanted a kitten.  Turned out that she (even though
she'd grown up with cats in the house) hadn't a clue how rambunctious a
little one could be, and it just about drove her crazy.  And that was
only ONE kittie, not FOUR!  (G)  After a few months of her ambivalence
(Come Get This Kitten NOW... No, she's SO Cute... No, GET HER NOW!...)
we finally rescued them both.... the kitten has lived with us ever
since... and grown up into a fairly well adjusted cat even...  :)  And
our friend has made do with a couple of plush felines instead... (G)

 JK> ===Spinach Ricotta Pie===

I make a pizza with spinach and ricotta...  this gives a few ideas of
things to add to it, like the meat and the mushrooms...  Ours is a
simplified version of the one that Wegmans used to make... except that
they had some sort of eggplant crumbly mixture that they sprinkled on
top that I've never been able to find or replicate...
