So, my mom works at Wegman's now. In addition to being--from what I hear--a great workplace, they have some great food. Yes, even their house brand.

This means that I got a gift bag of delicious goodies for my birthday!

• Three kinds of cheese
• Two kinds of bruschetta toasts
• Two kinds of bruschetta topping
• Spicy garlic pasta sauce (it's not liquid like you'd expect)
• Good olive oil
• Bread, for dipping in the good olive oil
• Basting sauce (maybe it'll make that fish edible)
• Thai green curry sauce
• Organic strawberry jam
• ....oh, and the rest of the pistachio cake
• A cloth grocery sack, of course!

So far, I've been into the bruschetta, bread, olive oil and one kind of cheese. Tonight? Spicy pasta with bruschetta! I may also finally open up the cherry wine for dessert, along with white chocolate truffles, but I'm in a team weight loss contest and doing miserably.

But you're taking my carbs when you pry them from my cold, dead hands.
