He is home. I just posted what I bought for two of us. I am actually
trying hard not to buy him any special food because we don't know for sure
when he is leaving again. The only really special food I have bought for
him is ice cream with nuts in it. Daughter can not have ice cream and it is
her favorite food. Since she has a nut intolerance that is something she
would never be tempted to eat. We are trying to mainly feed him stuff that
we stocked up on in the freezer that we can no longer eat. Tonight he had
the last of the fish sticks. I think there are a couple of boxes of chicken
nuggets and some burritos. The few little pizzas that we had are gone. Not
sure about those Costco French fries. There are too darned many of them.

When he is home I do have to buy a lot more food. I am really not going to
get into the particulars. If I do, someone or some people will begin making
nasty comments. I know they will.
