I won't ever stand in a long line to get into any store
no matter why it's happening.
 
I went one day in the beginning of this mess. Early morning and
the entire giant parking lot was filled with cars, even their
satellite parking area. I'd never seen it so crowded. Talking
about a grocery store only. No other stores there.
 
No lines waiting outside - everyone was inside. Huge crowd
and you better believe that the checkout lines inside
were long.
 
I drove into the lot, saw all the cars, and drove right out
again and headed home. "Homey don't play that."

The one wearing the masks.

It is believed now that 80% of infections are asymptomatic.
Therefore, the mask on your face is not to protect you from the virus
but to protect others from your spreading the virus to others. If we
can stop the virus spread, we can get the incidence of infections way
down. If the asymptomatic people do not wear masks the virus will
continue to spread, perhaps even spike again. Do you want to go
through shut down again?

I don't think he cares. It's not as if he has a job to get to.

And for that reason, the governor of Virginia issued a new
mandate the other day - starting tomorrow (Friday May 29),
everyone in the state must wear a mask in public places.
(Not outdoors unless you're in a crowd)
 
I think it's a good move. It's hardly an incovenience to
wear one occasionally. I keep one in the glove compartment
of my van so I always have one handy whenever I drive anywhere.
Every little bit of precaution is a good thing.
 
Oddly, his mandate is only for "everyone over the age of 10."
I suspect most parents will/should protect their young
ones with a mask too. I can't imagine not doing so.

You're constantly contradicting yourself, depending how your mood
swings.

I spent 0 also, and I drive a V8 ram. So what? You are not special
john. How much coal did you burn with your electric car?

The good news for Americans is that the electric vehicle will allow them to keep their beloved full size trucks and SUVs. My guess is that the sweet spots will be a range of 600 miles with a 200 kWh to 250 kWh battery. The implication of this is that you charge your battery with $30 worth of electricity and get to drive around 600 miles with a stupid happy grin on your face.

Allow me to rephrase:

every time I harvest horseradish, next spring I have stuff coming up
from odd places where bits of roots had fallen. It doesn't take much
to start a patch. OTOH, raising the beautiful, fat, straight roots
takes a bit of managing. Check the 'Net for that.

NOt that I plan on planting any, but can it be grown in a pot to contain
those runners?

It would need a really good size pot. Maybe one of those half whiskey
barrels. It is deep rooted

I have mint planted on the creek bank for erosion control. Works
really good, I don't mind if it spreads and I get to cut mint when I
want it.

Oh ok, thanks. As you can see I know nothing about growing horseradish.

Its the collagen breaking down. The more collagen the tougher the meat.
Heat breaks it down on a molecular level.

I saw the thread title, "8 pound pork shoulder for the weekend" and envisioned it as some kind of prison or reform school punishment, having to stand the entire weekend with a raw hunk of pork on your shoulders. I also got a caveman vibe from the title, as if you were going to sit down alone with only that pork shoulder to munch through the weekend, which is not a bad way to eat sometimes - just one item, usually meat, with nothing else for a few days. i confess I did not read your post because the thread is old. I only jumped in because of the thread title. I sometimes find them more interesting than the stories, like newspaper headlines that are great but the stories don't measure up. Which is not to say yours don't. Anyway, when I read the title that's what I envisioned without thinking, a prison or reform school punishment of some kind with raw and rotting bone-in pork shoulder the delivery method.

Your dinner sounds a lot better than mine.
 
Speaking of biscuits, when I get the hankering I'm going to try the ATK
recipe for cream biscuits.

We had quite a bit of leftover lamb from last night so I made curry with
it. We usually have it with rice, but we also had leftover Vietnamese
spicy beef noodles. Steamed broccoli rounded it out.

My supper was a Freschetta sausage and pepperoni pizza. Meh.

I ordered from a restaurant supply store, delivered by Instacart. The sad
thing is, I didn't discover that they were out of some things until Mohamed
was gathering my order. I paid about $6 between delivery fee and tip for a
small box of things. Only ordered two produce items. The celery was fine.
The blackberries were very sour.
 
Winco today. Beans and rice were back! Canned soup was slim pickin's. I
didn't need any.. Just noticed as I walked by that not much was there.
Especially Progresso. Noticed more bare spot here and there but again, not
things I needed so not sure what was there.
 
A man was putting out a new box of green bell peppers. Lots of damaged ones
in the box but I found two small ones that looked good.
 
Meat prices were up. Only bought one small package of chicken tenders.
Mostly what they had were huge packages and the meat looked kind of scrappy
or fatty.
 
I mostly bought canned goods as they are cheaper there. Won't have to go
back for a while.

I saw that Butterfly program on Nature last year and enjoyed watching it
again tonight. This time of year there are all sorts of butterflies
flitting around. I found a caterpillar on the lid of my trash can last
month. I gently picked it up and put it in the yard. It had been very
windy so I think it was blown down from a tree. I wonder what sort of
winged creature it might turn into if it doesn't get eaten by birds.
Butterfly or moth?

You're 100% correct. The interface really doesn't matter, the content
remains the same.
