Oh good grief! I read that at first as "stuffed owl". And I am wearing my
glasses and everything!

Last year I opted to buy some fancy things that we don't normally have like
desserts and of course they didn't get eaten. I suppose if I am going to
wind up tossing something out, I'd rather it be something that I didn't
bother to make! Hehe. I'll go to Costco in the next few days to see what
they have. Haven't been in there for a while.
