I found German potato dumpling mix in the supermarket today...labeled in
German.  Yogurt salad dressing too.  It was all stuff in their markdown
bins
and it wasn't an Aldi, just a garden variety IGA.  What I really wanted was
the Tiger brand Tikka sauce in the same bin, but Mom hates Indian food.

I get the Fage plain too - add your own everything.  They don't make a
sugar
free.

We finally got some, not much but some.  It's pretty chilly though - never
got out of the 20s.

We may on Saturday.  I'll be going out Friday as usual.

I'm more the almond milk type, if I'm drinking an imitation.

Texting on a 10-key is pretty bad too, but at least it doesn't pretend to
be
