About the only time I’m interested in eating a hot dog is when I am at a sporting event. I especially like a hot dog when I’m watching a summer baseball game. There’s just something about bleachers, ball players and hot dogs that go together!

The grocery store had frozen pizza on sale, so I decided to get two (for $6.00 !) and have a treat. We almost never eat pizza any more. As a kid, we had pizza at least once a week because my Daddy worked for a pizza restaurant. But as we got older, the calories and fat in a pizza puts the pounds on, so we only have pizza once in a great while. Nowadays the delivery pizza has gotten so expensive, almost $20 for just one pizza, that I can’t afford it except as a special treat once in a while.

Shopping at Sams Club over the weekend, I decided to pick up a large box of assorted nuts. They come in individual packets for snacking, with three different flavors. Each flavor has about 10 packets: honey roasted peanuts, salted peanuts and cashews.

This morning I wanted to grab a packet of cashews to take with me in the car while running errands. Would you believe that ALL the cashew packets are already gone? Who on Earth would eat all 10 packets of cashews in just 3 days?

Last year I planted tomatoes and they all had a fungus problem and died. All of the plants purchased from Lowes, Home Depot and K-Mart were sent from the nursery with the fungus infection in the soil and they all died.

I am not going to use the same pots and soil for this year’s plants, as the fungus has probably contaminated everything. So if I buy tomato plants this year, I want a guarantee from the store that they are healthy and I’m going to keep the receipt in case I have any problems again this year. I spent at least fifty dollars on my gardening supplies last year and got nothing in return. I’m not going to waste my time and money again without some satisfaction from the store that caused the problems.
