Roanoke Va- Kroger

Gas prices are about 1.39 a gallon at the Kroger sponsored gas station here in Roanoke VA.
The special benefit of having and using a Kroger shopping card is that gas magically becomes
1.18 a gallon or less, depending on how much shopping you do at Kroger. We have fun running thru these regional types of grocery stores. Their organic sections offer different products, both fresh and pre packaged. Also, we are below the Mason Dixon line, so the regional foods are representative of local tastes. We came across the sweet tasting product that is a sister to egg nog-boiled custard

According to our son, it is sweeter than egg nog. Since we were all feeling the holiday weight gain, we declined the opprotunity to try it. Follow the link above if you are curious about making some for yourself
