>>>>>>> Vons had a nice new product tonight. A 2 pound bag of lovely, sweet

>> Well there you'd be wrong. I eat beans nearly daily. I eat toast for

>> delayed. Not many. Just a few. Also, daughter and I have a bag of
>> popcorn when we go to Target which is usually once a week. We share and
>> we rarely finish the bag. My dinners vary and I rarely eat luch. Quite
>> often I cook a pot of beans or soup to last the week. This week is
>> different only because I have things to use up. Am going to make a
>> turkey and wild rice casserole for tomorrow. Need to go assemble it.
>>>
>>> And I was commenting on the delightful combination of this ONE
>>> chardonnay with the peppers and cream cheese. That is why I named it
>>> specifically.

>>
>> But it came across as though they were a new item. sw even commented on
>> it.

>
> New item *IN MY VONS* store. And squishy is hardly somebody you want to

>>> I have posted in the past I live in produce hell. And I do.

>> Sorry to hear that. I have it all here!
