The Hormel folks will love you, Charlie. Whatever floats your boat,
Hon. I've never been a fan of the stuff and now I'm trying to reform my
unhealthful eating habits. Ugh. I've been doing pretty well for about
two days until the devil came into my soul and I hate way too much crisp
turkey skin from the roasted turkey breast I fixed for lunch. Some to
think of it, the rest of the noon meal wasn't so virtuous, either:
Bread dressing, wild rice, mashed potatoes and gravy. And cooked
broccoli. And some raspberry Jell-o. I haven't made Jell-o in *years*
-- this package was from 2000 (remember how I was saying that I date
stuff when I purchase it?)

Can I come for coffee and the See's?
