Always do first whatever you are trying to avoid..... Winmart.......yogurt, grapes, Wieners, sandwich cheese....this place is REALLY going downhill......the assortment is appalling....a WHOLE AISLE filled with Soy and Chili sauce......but try to find mustard......same thing with cheese.....20 kinds of processed plastic-wrapped slices....but not a SINGLE piece of REAL cheese..... appalling !!!

It's SO good to be home....... QUIET after all that NOISE

I'm on my first cigarette and first glass of wine when Nhat shows up.....Nice...

The rest of the afternoon........I get stuff done..... put away the food, organize, settle back in.....
