 RH> That's a plus. We were in a Super Target yesterday; they were handing

 RH> sauce. It was probably the best of the samples.
 
Of course, the samples are only as good as the products themselves.. ;)
I figure, most places, a sample will let me know that there really isn't
any point in buying the product after all, and I don't have to waste my
money in the meantime.  ;)  Once in a while, one gets to taste something
that is worth getting, and that's a bonus.  :)  I recently had canned
corn (tasted tinny still, but not as bad as some) and some sort of
stuffed (with tomato sauce and sausage) pocket bread (which wasn't too
bad, but didn't sit too well after) at BJ's, another place that often
has samples.  But I have bought a few things there because the sample
turned out not to be too bad, especially if I'd already been considering
it for some possible future purchase...  :)

 NB>> Desserts, french toast, tea, on buttered toast, on shredded wheat and
 NB>> other cold cereals... on applesauce or other fruits, too...  :)

 RH> Most of her desserts now are ice cream (unless they have company) or

One can sprinkle cinnamon on that... ;)

 RH> store bought cookies. 

Hmmm... Jan Hagles have cinnamon on them, and I've sometimes seen
cinnamon pizzelles...

 RH> They don't do french toast very often, then it's
 RH> served with confectioner's sugar or maple syrup;

One puts the cinnamon into the milk&egg mixture so it gets cooked into
the french toast.

 RH> tea is seldom drunk, sometimes iced in the summer but never hot.

I suppose one would have to like cinnamon to add it to iced tea,
generally...  ;)

 RH> Cold cereals--I just can't
 RH> see her putting cinnamon on them. She uses raisins instead of sugar.

Raisins instead of sugar is a good compromise.  (And cinnamon goes
really well with raisins...  [g])

 RH> Buttered toast is rare; it's usually regular bread with jelly at
 RH> breakfast. I don't think the toaster oven does a very good job of
 RH> making toast so it's a rarity, even more so than when I was a kid.

Some jellies go well with cinnamon, too...  Of course, if she doesn't
like cinnamon...  ;)

 RH> She buys the Smucker's no sugar jellies; it's a small step towards
 RH> helping out. 

It's a good start.  At least it does seem as though she is trying to
make some changes for the better.  :)
