Wheee... spent some more of my stimulus money on groceries. Packed my freezer and overflowed my pantry. Plenty of hamburg, tuna, ham, chicken, pistachios, rice, HamburgerHelper, apples, banana, Jello, canned soup, peanut butter, bread, cheese, eggs, macaroni, spagetti, tomato sauce, mushrooms, salmon, beef hash, TP, Kleenex, paper towels, milk, powdered milk, cookies, crackers, cake mix & frosting... Wheee...
Well, believe it or not, it actually helps knowing somebody saw that. Some of the attitude towards this has me shaking my head, but I can't say I'd do anything different so who am I to judge. It's just a shame how the whole thing was handled lol. I feel vented haha.
...yeah I usually get what I order in two days as they are right down the coast from me. so I don't have to pay for expedited shipping. Never had an issue with anything arriving "DOA" and everything order is always properly packed to avoid damage. Of course when shopping I always check the "Newegg Only" box so it doesn't come over on the slow boat from some second or third party vendor overseas.
......you bought part of a city in Germany? So that must be how they are raising funds for developing a vaccine.
Paper towels? Lucky, I haven't seen those in weeks save for big mult-iroll packages of the big name brands I saw the other day which cost 12$ - 18$ and I have no room for.
Yep bought 6 pounds of it. Three two-pound trays. I break each tray into three zip-lock bags, call each bag a pound, and freeze it. OK, so maybe it's proper name is "ground beef" but in this part of the world it's "hamburg". And yes, I've actually been to Hamburg. Back in the late '90s we rode the train from Amsterdam to Hamburg, spent the night there in a wonderful big old German mansion turned into a bed and breakfast (the ceilings and doors were HUGE! ).
While there we rode the subway, went to a leather bar where I turned down a hunky pick-up attempt, had big sausage type food in a bar/diner type place with the friend I was traveling with, and we got lost temporarily finding our room for the night. Tried my hand at using my little bit of German speaking skills and failed miserably. Continued train trip to Berlin the next day.
Still with coffee.
... So much so that my machine broke, and I was forced to dig up old one that I'd kept as a backup.
tune to face end of the world
good too for peddling on an exeer bike
and cuz ya cant have one without the other https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7Ox9N1490Y
I know, RIGHT. Now we have Murder Hornets. I live in California, we were just told that the fires we will have this year will be worse than last year and YAY we get to hopefully live through a second wave of Covid-19. Good luck and DON'T F it up as Mama Ru tells us!
....yeah they have first appeared just to the north In Washington State so only a matter of time before we see them here in Oregon.
Speaking of fires. we had our first fire danger alert of the year in early April. Doesn't bode well for us here either as we are going into a rather rather warm and dry stretch with only occasional showers now and then instead of soaking rains. Sort of a pattern we'd see a month from now.
..sounds like a good time. Yeah had lots of good times when I was there as well. Really would like to go back again but may be a while before travel gets back to normal, whatever "normal" will be.
I'm beginning to think that Mother Nature does not like us very much on this side of the contenent but then again we don't have hurricanes or tropical storms ripping up everything. Life is just dangerous right now!
..went to the restaurant supply outlet to stock up on a few items (nice day for a walk). I like shopping there as it's not crowded and I can find items closer to wholesale prices as well as some things not found in the regular markets (or priced ridiculously high). They primarily do a lot of by the case and large quantities such as 25# bags of rice, 5# packages of shredded cheese, and 108 oz cans of chili. After all, they do cater to restaurant operations that require such amounts, however, they also do sell smaller packaged items as well along with kitchen tools & such at a reasonable price (better than at one of those upscale kitchen boutique stores). I got what I needed and afterwards, made a stop at the Safeway on the way home to pick up a can of black beans for the burritos I made tonight which I forgot the other day I was there.
It was a zoo in comparison, People were going down aisles the wrong way (the store established one way aisles because they are so narrow) and only two regular checkout lanes were open, both which had queues stretching back into the shopping aisles. While I was standing in one queue, this fellow (not wearing a mask), came up right behind and stood literally inches away. He then pulled up alongside and at first I thought he was just trying to get by so I excused myself and moved a bit aside, but then just stood here almost shoulder to shoulder with me not looking at the shelves but just staring straight ahead. I looked at him, tried to get some distance, but he moved up alongside me again. It beganto get a bit uncomfortable, and as I didn't feel like dealing with a confrontation, I left and went to the other queue. When I looked back where I was originally standing I saw that same fellow now almost right behind the person who was in front of me.
Some people just don't seem to get what social distancing means,.even when there are large red squares on the floor indicating where to stand
I think he got what he wanted. You moved and he was farther down the aisle and nearer the checkout, then he moved in on the next person in line. I would call that intimidation.
same crap here
I was standing back as notice said and woman tried to go in front of me
also told to wait until told to put stuff on belt as they wipe it down, I have a nanny cart and its hard as cannot put up before so cannot have it empty to fill
woman behind me just immeadiately put her stuff up
OMG, the inconsideration of some. Had the same things happen here. First in one of those states that thinks the virus is a hoax, I wear a crafted face mask in public when I go out bandito style, the looks I get are ridiculous. I had a cart of stuff that I usually get when I get my royalties for my 3d stuff, and the first wave of insults is I am panic buying. And yes, there are some very more than caring enough to say something. Having 2 big packs of TP, for wife's parents upstairs, one 1 for us downstairs to last the month. Things said like well why don't you leave some for the rest of us, even though there is still an ample supply on the shelf. We usually only go out a few times a month, and usually only to get stuff we need, and have been doing this for the past decade. Nothing has changed, and nothing was ever said until now. I had some for the lack of better words I cant use on this forum, redeemable citizen, all up in my space, while I am trying to put my stuff on an, narrow space as it is, checkout lane. I ask him to back off a bit, and the citizen, is just all macho nonchalant ignoring my request. So being the i don't give a expletive word person I am, explained further more in language I knew this person would understand. I explained how 4 of the 5 people in this house has immune compossible health situations, I being the one who doesn't have one, then told him he could explain to his god why he couldn't back the f up, if any of my family perhaps caught this crap or worse died from it. checkers jaw hit the floor, after no attempt to help get this guy to back off, and flapping her yap about some dumb thing she heard on the news and is all of a sudden an expert about. He backed off. Front area goes silent until I leave after checking out. I swear though I am very laid back and friendly when I go out, but these ppl are something else.
I'd intended to go ashore today for groceries, meds and heater fuel but as it was blowing a screaming southerly straight off Antarctica, I flagged that till tomorrow, waves over the bow are not fun besides getting the bread soggy. I lit my heater yesterday and I'm not planning to turn it off till September, cosy is a very good thing.
Just to pick a nit: isn't it called "Hamburger"? And that "part of the world" might be a wee bit smaller than you think, 'cause if you're dutch - like that "from Amsterdam..." above implies - it probably is only a couple kilometers before people start calling ground beef "ground beef" (or in german "Hackfleisch") again... Here in germany a hamburger is only called so, when it comes as a hamburger patty, ready to be put on the grill, or as THE hamburger - patty on a bun with extras.
we call it mince in Australia
Here in Scotland too. Ground Beef always makes me thing of flour, which then makes me think of beef paste.
Here in Kent in the south of the UK, a Hamburger is made from a beefburger and a bun. The beefburger is a pattie made from mince, which is beef that has been minced up (and other bits, probably a large percentage of horse if it's a cheap beefburger). I always think of ground beef as something where the bits are so small they are a paste.
I usually defrost my frozen food ingredients in the microwave before starting to cook. Well, last night the microwave made all the right sounds, except the magnetron didn't hum, and the food remained in the frozen state. Last time we had a microwave fail like that, I replaced the magnetron fuse and we got a spectacular blue flash and loud crack as the new fuse blew. I think, rather than do that again, we need a new microwave.

Free manure for the grass too, although I wouldn't like to play rugby on it 'till it was cleaned
Sheep muck isn't too bad. Even made paper from it once at a paper making course near Wells in Somerset. It seems the sheep intestines break the grass fibres into a good length for papermaking.

Due to so many folks on this forum being from the colonies I used the way americans seem to call it. Or at least what the translator tool offered me as american ;)
I know it's minced meat (or beef) in the british homelands, which makes a lot more sense.
Anybody take notice that there's a difference between beef patties and cow patties though ^^
and sheep wool is not liked by slugs nd snails
And years ago, people thought me weird because I had no desire to move to California.
Many years ago I read a SciFi story or book, I think entitled "The End of the Dream". Where mother nature rebelled in all her fury with multiple disasters. The end being waves and waves of trillions of carniverous worms crawling out of the bottom of the oceans all over the world where they had been living on the accumulated garbage and evolved into eating flesh and ate all the other bottom dwelling life in the sea then turned to the land. The worms were unstoppable and eventually ate everybody.
Or at least, that's how I remember it from 50 years ago.
"This part of the world" refers to where I am in western NY State. We go to the store to buy a pound of "hamburg", not hamburger. A hamburger is the finished object complete with buns and garnish. And don't get me started on why it has the base word of "ham" in it. I lay awake nights worrying about that. It's ruined my life.
Edited to add: No, I lie. The cooked hamburg patty is also called a "hamburger" here. eg: "The barbeque grill was covered with sizzling hamburgers." NOBODY here says "patty".
Oh, be adventurous, get a camera and capture the flash.
