ReplyDeleteJoeh - I didn't think you were serious or I would have tried, but Theresa would have still won! LOL!
This was an exciting contest.
ReplyDeleteI was going to bring your wife's list to a pharmacist and see what they could figure out.
Or perhaps a mail carrier.
It's not the victory, but the competition! I gave it my best shot.
ReplyDeleteBROWNIE BRITTLE! Might as well add some Unicorn Milk to wash it down. Never heard of such a thing.
Sob...I should have tried harder!
ReplyDeleteHer lists are a source of entertainment for us, at least. Congratulations to all who were brave enough to try!
ReplyDeleteWow! I gave up at 13.
ReplyDeletebrownie brittle? wth???? lol! well, i'll take some exedrin now and get over my headache with a whoop-tee-do!
ReplyDeleteYour wife's grocery lists make my eyes bleed. I'll bet she's brilliant. You know like doctors. I can't read their writing either.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners.
Have a fabulous day. ☺
Um, is your wife a doctor? If not, she may have missed her calling. (She's already got the penmanship requirements down pat!)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the brave contestants. Perhaps Mrs. C. should work for the state department because deciphering her handwriting would be harder than hacking the system.
ReplyDeleteWow, I'm impressed with all who tried. You might put TexWis on retainer to be your regular interpreter.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed this yesterday. Then I took a look at the list and decided that I was relieved. Always fun. :)

ReplyDeleteI think the best guess is "brain bleach" (and I think there is a need for a product like this).
ReplyDeleteOh man, Joe, I wrote a huge answer for this back when you posted it! I somehow lost it though, between keystrokes and didn't have the energy to re-write. I would say it looked a lot like Val's answer.
