It does look good. I wonder if I could get curbside service at the
deli...

No. I've never enjoyed grocery shopping. Give me a good hardware store
instead.

My SIL made chocolate cookies last night. They were delicious, but she
didn't care for them much. I souped them up with something she does like.
Redemption!

I don't know. Maybe she is just trying different cookies. She has made
oatmeal, oatmeal with raisin and chocolate cookies so far. I think they are
all excellent. The hard part for me is humping the damned Kitchenaid out of
a cupboard thats shelf floor is above my eyes and putting it back in. I'm
old.
Only the top cupboards are high enough to fit the mixer which has had more
of a workout in the last six months than in the last thirty years. I'm
not complaining, although I sound like I am. I'll horse a mixer around
for good cookies.

Steak again. A well marbled petite filet seasoned well with course
ground black pepper and coursely ground salt. It had enough fat to not
require any sort of oil added to the pan cast iron pan to sear it
nicely. I cooked it to rare then seasoned it further with some dried
thyme. Turned it and tested it, perfectly cooked. No more than
med-rare. I finished it off in the pan with a pat of butter on top.
Great steak!
 
I cooked some wild rice to go with it. I started the wild rice on the
stovetop about 45 minutes before I started the cooking the steak. Took
it off the burner, covered it and set it aside. I steamed some frozen
cauliflower florets to go with it. Quite a tasty dinner. :)

Nothing fancy here. Some cranberry orange bread that has been in the freezer
for a while, and a piece of cheese. I hope to find better fare at Walmart
tomorrow. But then... Hope springs eternal!

That sounds delicious. We had leftover mostaccioli in Newman's garlic
spaghetti sauce with yesterday's meat loaf masquerading as meatballs.
Oh...and a simple lettuce salad with Olive Garden Italian dressing.
Yours was way better. I wish others in the house liked wild rice. OTOH, I
save money and time because they don't.

Olive Garden Italian Dressing
"Water, Soybean Oil, Distilled Vinegar, Sugar, Salt, Eggs, Romano
Cheese (Pasteurized Part Skim Milk, Cheese Cultures, Salt, Enzymes),
Dehydrated Garlic, Spice, Xanthan Gum, Dextrose, Annatto Color,
Calcium Disodium EDTA Added to Protect Flavor, Natural Flavor."
 
Ah, good old Xanthan Gum, where would we be without it? And the
mysterious, omnipresent "Natural Flavor". We're not allowed to know
what it is. Makes you wonder...

I know! May your genetics carry you to an ancient finish. Otherwise, no
matter what you eat, you're going to, you know, kick it.

And may you consume many more litres of Olive Garden Italian Dressing
before you're permanently transferred to the big Walmart in the sky.

Excerpt:
 
...When Yustin set up a GoFundMe to help pay for her dad's funeral, she says she didn't expect to raise the $5,500 she had been quoted by funeral homes. "I didn't have that money, I didn't know what else to do, and my mom was in the hospital. I didn't think we were going to reach the goal, to be honest," she says. Within a few hours, donations came pouring in not just from friends and family but his former co-workers. She has raised nearly $20,000. "They were just saying these kind words, how much they loved working with him, he was an inspiration, how good of a guy he was."
 
"When I heard about Jesus's death, I thought about all the other people who I have worked with. There are a thousand of those guys who are just the nameless, faceless workhorses who don't get the love they deserve," says Dean Sheremet, who worked with Melendez for two years and is now head of food and beverage for the Edition Hotels.
 
Fine-dining kitchens are known as brutal, sometimes vicious work environments. The back of the house at Jean Georges is no exception, yet when asked about Melendez, his former co-workers shower him with compliments...

It's pretty bad when a trained and experienced nurse can't get a job on
the middle of a pandemic when retired doctors and nurses are being asked
to come out o retirement. The other day some here suggested ratting him
out but I suggested that they would figure him out. I guess that is what
happened when he showed up for orientation and now.... no job.

Not that simple. Hospitals in some areas are well below capacity and
have laid off staff. In the hot spots yes, they need people and even
there, the need is diminishing. Some respiratory therapists went to NY
with the promise of a job and were turned away when they go there last
week.
 
With elective procedures halted, many hospitals are at 50% capacity or
less. I don't know the particulars of St Louis but from what John has
posted need is low.

Not it da Loo. They gave him a mask and showed him to the door.
 
Probably after he blabbed on and on about cannabis nursing, his
church, his UZI, his leaf, etc.

Grin, I am no saint but I do care about my neighbors and try to help.
Many others here probably do as well but it isn't mentioned.
 
My current effort is a lady and her 3 kids with Celiac (genetic, runs
in family). She's being hit with many issues at the same time and they
are all high risk. The main organizer is a lady named Lisa. There are
some 20 folks donating every 2 weeks because she can't use the food
banks (we checked, doesn't work here for her). Amazing how many folks
do a GF attempted (or low GF) are coming up with all sorts of stuff! I
concentrate on frozen meats and things that have to be cold because the
lady is near me so when Lisa picks up, I am last stop at about 10-15
minutes away. Everyone else has to expect 1 hour or more in a hot car
so have to stick to shelf stable. It's pretty amazing to watch but I
am not the center star (nor do I need to be). I am one of 20. Now
Lisa? She's an angel!

That may be so but have you noticed that large abattoirs throughout the
USA are similar hotspots for the virus?

That's pretty bad when you show up for the first day just tofind out
you're fired.
 
Even if it was only a second interview, they wouldn't have said "No"
to his face. It would have been "We'll call you".
 
Of course he isn't telling us what really happened.
