This Just in from Sal:

"Mom is going to wipe the floor with our stanky asses!"

Mom is playing the stop shopping game this month along with Sal and me, and the intensity of her competitive streak is matched only by her hostility toward computers. So she won't be blogging with us, but she has prepared so thoroughly for the month that she plans to buy nothing at all but milk! We have clearly tapped into her enthusiasm for food storage. And for triumphing over her daughters, who didn't even realize it was a contest.
