5. OMG, a mincemeat PIE?? She'll be lucky if she can even find mincemeat to make

her own pie.

I went to my local grocery to get my yearly jar of None Such mincemeat. (Years ago, they carried the dried block of mincemeat which you reconstituted yourself at home.) Usually, the store's large Thanksgiving display of Thanksgiving food items has the mincemeat, but paradoxically they didn't have that (very handy) display this year, so I had to ask where the mincemeat was.

Hilarity ensued. No one knew WHAT mincemeat was, and certainly not where it was. I told them that yes, they carried it every year right before Thanksgiving, for holiday pies. Finally, they brought out the big guns -- an older man who stocked the store. He went in the back and found a box of 12 jars. Score!


Oh, yeah, I'm dying to see Part 2. And hope you are fully recovered soon!
