"Who are these waiting for?" I ask. There's an expression in Greek which translates into English as "clean only as much as the Mother-in-Law can see."

No Tonka trucks in this house, for now. <BR/><BR/>Flubberwinkle - I was so bad at jenga. Embarrassingly bad.<BR/><BR/>Dixie - Definitely carb laden. We went to a place that stocks a lot of things from other places, we don't shop there often, though!<BR/><BR/>Chez Bez - he is cool, but still a dork!<BR/><BR/>Antonis, you got it! But most people forget that the sitcom was called Alice, they think it was called Mel's Diner. Drives me crazy.<BR/><BR/>Kat - Yea, definitely anti-Atkins. Anti-everything I think. It *is* expensive, but I don't get back to America often enough (well, at all so far) to stockpile. We go maybe once a month and buy a modest amount of things (I think the picture showed everything we got, minus the dijon mustard and Dr. Pepper).melusinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096116965055620488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-49699792478004055602007-07-12T21:08:00.000+03:002007-07-12T21:08:00.000+03:00I know what that is.

We have them in our house too, but we stockpile items from America; it's too expensive to buy them here, even with our two salaries.<BR/><BR/>The Tetris comment is funny!CaliforniaKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604689834411117226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435777.post-40565837506570614262007-07-12T15:15:00.000+03:002007-07-12T15:15:00.000+03:00Hey, Mel's Diner.
