Every time I go to Trader Joe’s I find something new. My recent guilty pleasure is a 6 oz can of sparkling mango flavored wine. Comes for in a carton. Last 5 weeks dear husband has lots of health issues that required 5 day’s hospitalization (influenza +parainfluenza). Home 2 weeks then back for 10 days (pneumonia and UTI). He has short term memory issues so I stay with him around the clock, though about 6 days into the 10 day stay I was able to hire care givers thru the night that helped me get better sleep even though staff comes in e eryn4 hours 🙂. Anyway, since we’ve been home I really enjoy one in the evening as I’m winding down.

Sprite and soda crackers are essential but man oh man, when you finally are able to eat something else and keep it down!
