Mmmm.

Well, it's Doom o'clock and I've lost myrialux for the weekend to Doom Eternal. Which is fine, as I'm backed up on stuff to do. I'm sure that I will have plenty of Things Toby Says While Playing Doom before too long. Besides evil cackling.

Also, we are getting our first CSA box this week on Thursday. Despite me putting kale and Brussels sprouts in our NEVER SEND US THIS list, they listed both of them, but you get a chance to customize the box the weekend before the delivery, so we replaced them with mushrooms and satsumas.

Ugly But Yummy Box, Fruits & Veggies
Apple, Red Delicious (QTY 3)
Bell Pepper, Red - 1 ct
Carrots - 1 lb
Grapefruit, Rio Star - 1 ct
Lettuce, Green Leaf - 1 ct
Mandarin, Satsuma - .5 lb
Mushroom, White - 8 oz
Onion, Texas Sweet- 1 ct
Orange, Navel - 3 ct
Pear, D'Anjou (QTY 2)
Potato, Russet - 1.5 lb
Tomato, Roma - 0.5 lb

So now we just have to figure out what we're cooking with them. :)

We also dropped by a grocery store today, mostly to pick up a bit more meat to freeze. It was the slightly oofy Central Markup Market, which must have had a delivery today and the panic shopping must be dying down because it had a decent amount of stuff available. They'd put buying limits on a few things--just chicken and canned beans, I think--but other stuff was fine.

We also picked up ice cream, a necessity.

I went to HEB last week so I tried Walmart today. It's still cleaned out of most things, except milk, random cereals, vegetarian sausage (yay!), and expensive ice cream. Maybe their supply chain is not as good. I dunno.

Yeah, it's probably an intersection of the supply chain and the specific customers--Central Markup is nicknamed that for a reason, so people worrying about their budget probably wouldn't shop there first.

And this explains why HEB stores are better than the average grocery store at dealing with the pandemic.

Oh, that is interesting! Thank you!
