I win, they loose!!

I was on a mission today as I journeyed into Roanoke Rapids searching for one of my favorite "make it simple" jewels in the cooking world.  I was looking for the following:

  1. We have Piggly Wiggly markets down here, Odie. It seems like every time I find a product I like at Wal-Mart or the supermarket closest to my house the supplies dry up or the item is discontinued. It's aggravating. I'm glad you found your chili fixins and I hope you shared some with your doggies. Have a nice night, good buddy!

  3. What a wonderful name for a store, Piggly Wiggly's - love it!! So pleased you found what you were looking for, and I think it's always really good to support the little guys once in a while. I'm sure your Chilli was really tasty my friend.
