Omfg--food!
As we arrived at the Orlando Airport this morning, my wife got a phone call.
It seems she entered a contest at the new grocery store in town--Fresh Market (think Whole Foods)--for a "pantry" worth of food. Anyway, the wife won. I think the food is valued at around $1,000. I went to the gym after we got home, she went to the grocery store to collect the winnings. Everything is non-perishable. We have seven varieties of whole-grain pasta and eight varieties of semolina pasta. We have six kinds of honey, seven kinds of jelly, twelve kinds of coffee.... Our little house can't hold all of the stuff. We don't need to buy any dry good for MONTHS!

Congratulations, Chris!
I hope they don't send you a 1099.

That's pretty cool but what in the heck is a "cheese straw"?

I have no idea. I'll report back in a few months when we eat ourselves over to that part of the kitchen.

Well, so far I handed her what we would normally spend on groceries and I said: "Have fun!"
We just spent the last week in Florida. I'll take her out when we recover.

Well, Labor Day has passed, and it's a little early for the Super Bowl.
When is your birthday?

Wow! $1000 dollars worth of groceries at a Whole Foods clone? What is that, 6 bags? Just kidding, congratulations now you're hooked. Your grocery bill will now be thru the roof.

In all seriousness, that's pretty cool winning all that grub. I've never won a thing in my life. Maybe I should start filling out those little cards.
Happy belated birthday Legion!! I'll have to check out the Hallmark calendar for a party occasion.

Dude if you can't explain the Hello Kitty in your pantry you get a man card revocation. You don't even have kids.
