Dinner and a movie. The movie didn't turn out well. A random grab from amazon prime. Those are very miss and sometimes hit. It's something, a gamble I can't really lose, mostly. I overcooked the brats, but not to the inedible stage. Close. Still, was tasty enough with 'live' sauerkraut.
Later, just now really, I had some of the salad, with fresh mushrooms in with it. I had to look at a lot of dressings before I could find one which was... minimally sat. Many had soy oil as their first ingredient! The best I could find was canola oil. It's not the best, but vastly better than soy. As well, the rest of the ingredients, and there were fewer, seemed, mostly, better.
It was the Newman's Best... some such. Profits go to charity, but charity has become more charlatan than even the government in general. So, that... really isn't something. Though, who knows, maybe they are careful with their charities, how they are run, and what they do. Giving people a hand up is one thing, giving them a handout, forever, breaks people. Unless, of course, they are broken. I know that, I get that.
Strangely, it was less expensive than most other brands! I didn't notice that until looking over all else, and accepting. I was expecting a premium price. It was quite reasonable. There were only two flavors, italian and ranch. After looking both over, I took both. Hoping they weren't horrible tasting.
Nope, pretty good. The best ever? Good enough, and by plenty. I do try to eat right, but the stores and manufacturers sure make it difficult. I was about to return the salad and just walk. I had put the nteenth type back, and was just about to literally walk away when I noticed this brand. I generally have never given it a thought, thinking it was probably overpriced typical garbage. I... was wrong. Or, perhaps the price has come down as many others think similarly? Whatever, it... was a more than fair price for a good quality, good tasting item. As I said, I do try.
To bed even earlier, tonight. I may let the cats up. I just fed them, they should be in good humors. Oh, and I fed and watered the ducks again, this evening. I am making up, a bit, for being on and off, and missing a few days this week. Plus, the young ones need lots of food. Lots and lots of food, right now. Still, two feedings a day will be mostly the usual. Rain, sun, snow, or fog.
Good night.

ReplyDeleteThat's an exact description of Amazon Prime. I'm pleased by some of the selections which are available (plan to watch "The City of Lost Children" soon), but am annoyed by what they choose to run for free and what they ask payment for. No apparent rhyme or reason.
Yes, and they change the payment thing often. That is a whole other area which is miss and sometimes hit. I fixed it, I never rent. Or, not random. If there is a show I want to see, I'll usually wait for it to become free or skip. But, once in a while, I'll lunk down a few coin. Few, I say few, boy.
ReplyDeleteI stay in the free section. My problem is, I'll go looking, find half a dozen to dozen, add them to my list. And by the time I get to them, some will be on pay. Which, for a random, I won't.
A suggestion. If Amazon Prime is an occasional pain (which it is), try simply searching for the movie online. It doesn't always work, but sometimes one becomes surprised. But for God's sake check on the reliability of the website. Traps are laid in some quarters.
DeleteYea. You do realize, even visiting a website can spring a trap. That is what the phishing email scams are based upon. I have no way of making sure a site is secure. And the browsers try to make sure that bugs work through anything, often even through security ware. So... I... won't be doing that.
ReplyDeleteI used to get computer game hacks, or mods. That was similar. I ended up with systems so broken there wasn't a real fix. Anything with long memory, on the machine, had been corrupted. Which is how I learned that even printers could be attacked and become a source of infection.
No, but thank you for the notion.
