So... Rory likes tacos.

Once again, part of dinner was brought to us for FREE by KROGER . This time: chips and salsa.  So, of course, we had to have a taco night .  🍅🌮 As the years fly by, I'm discovering all the things my body doesn't like anymore.  Taco seasoning, spices, and the like give me heartburn.  That's new.  And very unpleasant.  Which also includes tomatoes🍅, chocolate🍫, coffee☕... all the delicious stuff that I have to eat in moderation now.  So a free container of red, tomato-ful salsa was mostly for my husband. Lucky. Not only does he not suffer from heartburn, he hasn't puked since I've known him!  12 years and counting.  Don't we all want to be so lucky!  At least taking a daily vitamin has helped me control that.  Everyone should take their vitamins! But, this is a post about the lime... but no coconut. Just tomatoes.  And actually, a lack of lime.  We both thought the same thing and had the "meh" face when we tried the new Tostitos Hint of Lime

I really love Kroger.  They have the freshest foods in my small town, but they don't stop there!  They have a Community Rewards Program where they give back to non-profits, so MCF has signed up.  Now, every time I shop, I get great food, great prices, Fuel Points (2x on the weekends all summer!), plus I help add to the rewards check they send to MCF every quarter.  Just the few of us that have signed up so far have been helping MCF get about $40! (That's enough to pay for an event or two for the students! - So it typically goes right back to Kroger :) ) I've also discovered Kroger's My Magazine Sharing Network. It's a long name, but they give me free stuff.  FREE STUFF!  They send me items or coupons in the mail, I try out the items, and then I tell them what I thought.  If it's good or bad.  Then, they'll send me more stuff to try.  I get free stuff, they get the feedback and publicity.  We both win! Yesterday, we bumped into some friends at the store a
