 CS> I'l keep my eye out for it!  

Probably won't see it until Wegmans shows up with a store in Norfolk
area...  not that that would be a bad thing... :)  It's one of their
"gourmet" store brand items...  They've got a LOT of them...

I was just in the store today, but didn't see anything like that. 
There's LOTS of stuff in there, though... it's easy to not see things
that are there, just because there is so much.  And I didn't remember
the name today... maybe next time I will, and might even ask... :)

 CS> Yes, pretty much a dessert like pudding but she uses it more for a

Desserts make good breakfasts...

You can have my share.  I don't mind the instant-ness of it, but the
texture leaves a lot to be desired to me...  My grandma used to eat
that, and I got some for her when she was visiting... sent the unused
stuff home with her... ;)
