Wonderful.

Finished that last spot of dishes.  Then showered.  I even remembered to put another, the next, batch of dishes in.  I wish it were the last.  Still, half of the final half?  Yeah, I got pretty far behind.  All good, I'll get it done this week.  And with things as they are, stay pretty ahead for some time.  I have some methods down.  All in time to make it to the post.  Items and letters.  I'll have to look them over.

From there I went on to town.  Milk, cream, and the regulars.  But a ton of other stuff.  Not everything on my list.  I don't think they had everything.  But, then, neither did I have my list.  I remembered it.  Well, once I was in town.  I left it exactly where I put it, on my computer table.  Yeah.  Still, I got much, and some extras.  Fish and oyster sauce, plus something that really excited me... anchovy paste!  I truly love anchovy.  Not as a main flavor.  I've tried it many times, just to... because!  I cannot do anchovies.  However, I love that stuff in stuff.  In the background you won't have any clue what made the flavor, meat, beef especially, profile pop.  This will do that.  The problem I have with anchovies is that all I knew they existed as, was either in tins, like sardines, or in glass jars.  Opening either of those means using a bunch of them in a short time... not possible even for me... or wasting a whole lot of delectables.  So, paste might give me the best of both worlds!  Flavor on tap, plus somewhat longer-lived containment.

I had to put everything away.  I learned, from last time, to take the ice in first!  Nothing like having it slowly melt while you figure and connive everything somewhere.  Two bags, plus the half in the main freezer, means ice for the rest of the summer, at 20 pound bags.  I don't use it every time.  Just like I don't have my tea the same way every time.  This time with ice alone, that time with cream and liquid sweetener, that time with so and such.  Variety.  Oh, and I only use tea for non-eating times.  When eating, I have milk or... well... that is all I have for caloried beverages at the moment.  Unless you count cream with broth?  That's more a fat than calorie thing?

First thing?  Well, after putting everything away, noting what I had missed, and realizing I had bought too many of certain things?  I left salad makings out.  Fresh baby spinach and a salad mix (yeah, I read labels).  Plus a pack of mushrooms to be sliced, a few boiled eggs, an avocado, and the salad dressing I made yesterday.   Oh, that was splendid.  Lots of potassium in there.  No, I didn't come close to eating all.  Just a *cough* healthy portion.  Dinner is coming tonight, but tomorrow I will make another meatzza... no... not until I stop at another store.  I forgot pepperoni!  I refuse to make one more meatzza without it!  I have more things on the list, so, after this and that, I'll stop in and get a few things.  I did get a few paper bags.  The checkout clerk was kind enough to offer several.  That will allow me to experiment with no real skin in the game... save a paper puncher which I will pick up tomorrow.  But EVERYBODY needs a paper puncher... or one in that smaller caliber.  :p

Oh, before the salad, I had a bit of salami and chevre.  With a glass of milk.  Nice.  Actually, I did have tea with the salad.  But I am trying to limit milk to one glass a day.  Cheers.  Two if I've been a really good boy and not made all single women over 27 hate me?  Hmm?  Nah, those are the days I get two, maybe three!  And today I was a bad boy, twice, in one post!  I may even have inculcated a priest!  I think I'll drink the whole gallon!  Whought?  Never mind.  Though... if you don't mind getting corn?  You don't need to buy bigger paper bags... free... with corn.  Just do that several times and reuse.  Duh.  I wonder if, in sympathy, my food is going to taste funny tonight?  Oh, I'd never!  Never?  *wink*  Two gallons, and...  Sold!

Later.
