[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 547072, member: 13882"] Suz, Your post made me smile and remember something heartwarming from many years ago. by the way, everyone gave great advice and tips about our products. I'll just add that if difficult child likes yogurt, Fage is a greek brand they sell here and it goes great with nuts, fruit, etc. It's a bit thicker than most yogurts. Here's my share about a foreigner in an American supermarket: In 1979, I was quite young, just out of school and worked for a company in NYC. At the time, many Russian refugees were being sponsored to come to US if they or any of their children had specific illnesses that American hospitals were better suited to treat. I worked with a 40 y/o Russian refugee whose daughter had a kidney illness that couldn't be treated properly in Russia.(I thought 40 was old at the time!) This woman was used to bread lines and privation in Russia that we couldn't begin to imagine here unless we lived through the great Depression. She said when she walked into her first American supermarket, she was so amazed, she fell right there on the floor, like the Pope, and cried and kissed the supermarket floor and thanked God she was in a place where she could see and touch and buy and eat all the food she wanted. I've never forgotten that when I often say how I "hate" to go food shopping lol. [/QUOTE]
