There is so much one can do with an iPhone- I actually think we could
use lessons instead of stumbling into something say like <MOVES> a
free tracker for your morning walk. What else am I missing? Anyway

There are plenty of good forums of course and perhaps even your new
cooker has its own?

My store doesn't carry things like peeled eggs. My step-daughter's
store apparently has a complete section devoted to prepared meals for
folks to pick up on their way home. The base inventory list and
vendor list for Costco must be mind-boggling.

That $1.50 for an extra-long hot dog with drink is cheap eats for
sure. You can't eat the same thing every day even if it is good.
