I managed to get a three pack of Wondra online. It's more than I need they were out of singles. In the stores, I have seen coconut, almond and bean flour. Sugar of all kinds is hard to come by here too. I did find some today. The white crystals and Tubinado. No yeast. They did have tiny boxes of baking soda and now they have baking powder. They've been out of that for awhile. |

I checked when I went to the grocery store this morning. It was pretty bare. A pallet of all-purpose flour (a brand I've never heard of, from Canada: Rose-something), a couple stray bags of Pillsbury, and a few sacks of organic King Arthur. No bread flour at all.

It's quite common in NA to see men spitting unfortunately. That and the chewing gum they spit out before going into a store or mall.

Easy to train not to bite hard. Also easy to litter train. They also don't "smell" contrary to popular myth. They are lots of fun and become best friends too. Similar to little playful puppy dogs all their lives. Extremely loyal and loving. Photographic memories too. Note: Ferret Day in the UK is May 5. Interesting that Queen Elizabeth the first had a pet ferret. Very cool of her, imo! :-D |

That's all the players do constantly. That field must be fairly slimed by time the game is over. Many men really are pigs. Don't know what women see in most of our kind. Most mornings I'm outside in the pre-dawn darkness. So often I'll hear some guy come out, take a large, loud and long intake through their nose, then hock the snot up into their mouths (again very loudly) followed by a loud spit. WTF? All that could be done quietly but no. I guess they think it's more manly to make it a loud event. That disgusts me to no end. |

It'll kill you with pneumonia, or through strokes, or heart attacks, or kidney failure, or total organ failure. What we're learning about this novel virus is that it's something we've never seen before. People will think they're smarter than the virus - we ain't. We'll learn that lesson soon enough. It's starting to sound to me like an engineered bio-weapon rather than something that naturally came from bat sashimi. (Tin foil hat comment) |

Thanks, J. I'll keep an eye out for that. Any certain day that airs? Every day early, I check to see what is showing that night and make a little list (from 7pm -3am) to remind me what sounds good. |

The problem is, at the start of the virus, everyone hoarded the beans and rice! My friend works for the business Costco in Lynnwood and she said they've been out for some time. She made navy bean soup yesterday. She realized that she had no navy beans. So she went to the store (not sure which one) and got lucky. They had one package of navy beans and nothing else. I bought two small bags of brown rice yesterday, three small bags of Vigo yellow rice, a bag of dried lima beans, two cans of store brand baked beans and two cans of black eyed peas. They did have some larger cans of baked beans but not much else in the way of beans. The only white rice they had was Jasmine or other Asian rices. My favorite rice is Texmati. That's hard to find here the way it is. Normally I would buy my beans and rice in the bulk section of Winco. I haven't been to Winco for some time because you have to wait too long in line these days. Angela went there yesterday and is brining me some cottage cheese later. She could only get two as they were close to expiring. I would be leery to bulk foods right now but the last time I looked there, they had no beans, rice or lentils. I do have some dried beans. I have canned beans. I have Dollar Tree rice to use once I finish the bulk stuff from Winco.The problem is, the hoarders bought so much at the beginning of this. A reprehensive from Fred Meyer said it would be a long time before they would have fully stocked shelves and it would be in short supply due to the hoarding. Beans and rice are not my real problem though. For instance, I wanted bacon. They had some expensive chicken bacon and some very large packs of bacon but the few small packs they had were dated 4/16. I wanted sharp cheddar. They had one bag of shredded. No sliced or block. No medium either. I have tons of mild at home. I wound up buying some cheddar mix that I would not normally buy. But we are only allowed to shop every two weeks. We are being tracked by our cell phones and can be fined if they find out we drove too far or too often. They did not have the pizza sauce, pasta sauce, cereal or tortillas I wanted. Had to make do with some other brand. No white/wheat flour of any kind. They did have almond and coconut flour. It's just frustrating because my taste buds are set on a certain thing, and it's not there. I have to either do without or try to make do with something else. I need to eat meat because I'm anemic. My oncologist said I might need iron shots. But... My labs got cancelled and now she quit. So I have to find a new Dr. after we are able to see Drs. again. Right now all we can do is telephone or Skype. No labs. So I'm flying blind here, but I know I'm not as tired if I eat a little meat once a day. This is why I've been buying the frozen meals. They do have meat in them I just ordered three packs of canned chicken, the kind that Sam's Club sells. It's just chicken and water. No fillers to make it pasty. I thought I had more but I'm out. It's good for chicken salad or a quick soup. |

Mornings are reserved for the elderly and that's not me. I don't think they're even open that early now. All stores have had to cut back on their hours. Opening later, closing earlier. I believe Walmart closes at 7 now but the hours seem to change quite frequently. |

Not many do though! I did toss some cookies dated 4/16. Butter cookies with jam. They didn't look so great. Will toss the bagged salad if J hasn't eaten it. It's dated 4/22. |

But whoever does the online > reviews should lose their job! 5 stars my eye! *Shudder* Had a slightly > weird flavor and the pasta was soft. How dare you! Other than my Mom's original homemade mac&cheese, those things are the very best I've ever tasted. Actually, they might even be better that what mom did. That "slightly weird flavor" is what nails the dish. It's the little chunks of beef (pencil eraser size) that contains that flavor. I would love to be able to recreate it. It's nice and cheesy too. Anytime I go to Food Lion here I try to remember to buy a couple for the freezer. My regular store doesn't carry them. Anyway that gets a 5 star rating from me too. As far your "the pasta was soft" comment, it's elbow macaroni and I wouldn't want that al dente in a mac&cheese dish. I've always had it soft. We really are complete opposites in this group though. You like almost nothing while I like almost everything. The clash of the weirdos. Next in this thread will be an ingredient list from Bruce along with his sarcastic comments. This will probable scare the boy into losing sleep tonight. :-D |
