We found out the proper name for that product & freebie

I was incorrect in calling my candy find a Velvet Crumble it's called a Violet Crumble, which should be easy to remember since the wrapper is purple lol. Hubby checked a tiny shop yesterday morning that carries some Italian food. They didn't have the product he is looking for, but the Italian woman who runs the store understood what he was looking for and told him it's an appetizer called Caponata which is
" a Sicilian eggplant dish consisting of a cooked vegetable salad made from chopped fried eggplant and celery seasoned with sweetened vinegar, with capers in a sweet and sour sauce. Wikipedia" John says it also has olives and some variations include other things like pine nuts. He was able to find some on Amazon and ordered four cans.

It was a gloomy, heavily overcast day yesterday and we didn't do much other than research the Caponata, play on computer, go out to dinner with retirees from his job and check Dad's house for mail. Today we are supposed to have heavy rain so I plan to stay inside and do some housework and make some scones.

Seeing terrible news of storm damage in Texas and heard there is more to come. Prayers go out to all those in the area being buffeted by the storm.


If you didn't want to go shopping in the earlier blue car and prefer pink, today's zip is for you:
