We got some Trader Joe's mint cocoa a while ago (pre diabetes diagnosis)

I always ask for the fish without cheese. I used to like the sandwich
but dislike the cheese. Took a troop of Girl Scouts tho McD's for a tour

 DD> breakfast menu it's one of the few things they do right.

I got tired of their breakfast menu when we were in AZ. I had surgery on
both of my wrists up at Fort Bliss, Huachuca ran a once a week shuttle
for medical appointments. We'd stop at a McD's in New Mexico for
breakfast, and sometimes supper on the way back (it was up & back in one
day). Hadn't had McD's for years until we were with Steve's
sisters/husbands & his parents a few weeks ago. Just as bad as it was
before.
