   Or in this case, just a throw together of some of my usual chili   
   ingredients. (G)   
      
   We're due for a big snow storm over the week end so we went to Wegman's   
   today to get a few things. Don't need bread, milk or eggs but picked up   
   some kimmelweck rolls and beef for supper tonight as well as a bagged   
   salad. Also got some split peas to use with a ham bone (probably Sunday,   
   if snowed in) as I'm planning to do chicken soup to use up a rotisserie   
   chicken tomorrow. I had to get some dill pickles (got Wegman's own   
   brand) so I can make rouladen next week. The store was crowded and a lot   
   of the shelves of basics (bread, milk, meat) were empty. Our fridge and   
   freezers are quite well stocked, we have full propane tanks and we can   
   move into the camper if power goes out so we're set for snow. We've   
   still got some snow and ice from last week end's storm. (G)
