It looks gooood. I’m picking up a big bucket of the good stuff this Friday.

Apropos of nothing, may I just say that Gritty is the best mascot in pro sports in America? It says something that I care nothing for Philly’s fandom, but love Gritty to death.

I am just popping in here to say that the Italian word for sheep is “pecora,” not “pecoro.” “Pecoro” is the masculine noun - it means “ram.”  And last I checked, rams don’t give milk. :)

Thank you!

I hate the couple who split up with kids and they yell back and forth then forget they had a bag ALL THE WAY IN THE BACK and ask you to pass it up. GTFOH! LOL!
