You probably will never like any other mustard, ever again. That wine
is what's gotcha!

Well, everybody has their vices, eh? Unfortunately mine is ice cream.
I can't buy it or it's gone in a relatively short period of time...

Yeah, me too. DH won't touch lunchmeat - not even in a "grocery
emergency".

I can't believe how expensive deli lunchmeat is - it's ludicous! Gotta

eat ham anymore unless we can get a fresh one from the farm.
