Grocery update in my area

[Gary]

Went Thursday morning about 10am. First time in 20 days.
Everything* was available and not many people.

*Only one missing item....toilet paper. That long aisle
was still completely bare along with paper towels, napkins.

Funny! People are more concerned about wiping their butts
than about food. ha ha

I've been able to get all the paper products I need, but not
necessarily exactly when I want to restock.

Rice has been in short supply, although I didn't look two
days ago. Other than that it's been kind of variable what
might be in or out of stock. Generally in, though.

I can do without any particular foodstuff. I can't do without
toilet paper.

TP is one item to stock up, takes little space, won't spoil, and
doesn't eat... we always have at least 200 rolls in the house.
Rice is easy we don't et a lot, a 20 pound bag lasts us at minimum two
years, probably 4 years.... we like the Goya brand rice.

It is a curious thing about rice in local stores. The usually size bags
are in short supply, but the big bags are available. I would have
thought is someone was stocking up for Armageddon they would be buying
up the big ones.

[Thomas]

I shopped today. Everything is up 25 percent.
175 bucks, I am stocked. I was stocked before today but went for yeast. No luck.
Sure Save Gerritys. It is a supermarket.
Bought the last bottle of dishsoap, the last Ragu, the last aw rootbeer powder mix.
Seafood prices were stable. Maybe stable because it is expensive already and people cannot afford it. Im in Pennsylvania.

TP? 200 rolls like Sheldon. Crystal? Bought 3 cases large. Actually Bacardi rum.
Rum is the reason for root beer. Good combo for vodka too.

9 out of 10 wore masks, half homeade. My shit is real. I got lucky buying in the summer.
I pull a few from the bunker here and there. Working health care every day keeping people alive. Temp taken in my vehicle before allowed to work.

On a side note, I have never been fired for neglect and drive a gas suv. LOL.

[GM]

Just made a run to my local small Target. Nice sunny Saturday mid - afternoon, they had some TP, paper towels, lotsa facial tissue...

Nice stock of meat, other stuff is fully/normally stocked...bought some meat to freeze, as the media is saying some meat plants are shutting down. Have a full ham from my shopping trip last week, too...good supply of frozen veg, which have been hit - or - miss at times...some fresh produce items are "priced to move" by up to 50% so to make way for new stock...plenty of OTC meds.

My only need is a FACE MASK, cannot find one for love or money...I've a scarf so that will have to do until/when I can get a mask.

Plenty of cleaning supplies at my local hardware store, Target has a decent selection...

Have a Prime Pantry order coming next week with Diet Coke/Pepsi, some other heavier stuff...they just informed that the order would be arriving sooner. Amazon Fresh grocery delivery is still nearly impossible, but the other day that had an 8:00 Sunday window; Instacart not available so far...

ALSO just received two back - ordered items from UK Amazon, a book ("Nuclear War in the UK"), and three bars of 4711 soap. Shocked to receive, as these are definitely "non - essential" items, and from abroad, too...

Dollar Tree has also re - started online ordering, you purchase by case lot there...

Kroger's shopping service either where you order and then pick-up.

Good Lord! Rice doesn't stay fresh that long.

We eat a lot of rice. 20 pounds might last us a year. Might. Probably not.

Some years ago I bought a 20 pound bag of brown Basmati rice at Costco. I
was just Angela and me here at the time. Neither of us was overly fond of
that rice and many times we had to force ourselves to eat it. We did get
close to eating most of it but I decided it wasn't worth forcing it down. So
I threw out and bought the more expensive rice that we really like.

Ours are usually out. I did get lucky the last time I went. I went with
Angela but that is not allowed here now. No shopping with others.

They had a limit of one only of any type of paper product. They had three
multi-packs of one ply Cottonelle and three multi-packs of some kind (can't
remember the brand) of paper towels. I grabbed two of each and put one of
each in Angela's cart. The checker told us we got lucky.

Not, Dollar Tree's shipping is very reasonable. About once a month they'll have a $4.95 flat rate shipping deal. My total cost frex for a 12 - count case of 32 oz hydrogen peroxide or similar heavy item is about $17.00 bux ($12.00 for product plus the shipping). Even with regular shipping, it will be less than $20.00, a bargain considering you don't have to schlep it around from some place...and if you order another case of something it is still a flat rate $4.95 shipping for everything in one order. I send toiletries and such to some local shelters, it is a very good deal, the "best bang for the buck" I've found for by - the - case items...and if you wish to pick up in - store there is no shipping charge at all.

Rice is a dried grain. If you're worried about it "spoiling" store it
in the freezer.

White rice does. It’s shelf life is several years, believe it or not. Kept
air tight and cold, it will stay fresh for decades.

I've never had rice spoil. A 20 lb bag of Canilla rice can sit on a

pantry floor, not about to give freezer space for a gallon jar. The
killer of dry goods like rice and beans is humidity, I place those
moisture absorbing thingies that are included in medicine bottles in
my dry goods jars. I buy kosher salt in 3 pound cartons but pour it
into jars with screw caps and place those moisture absorbant things in
the jars, no clumping... three pounds of kosher salt can last me more
than three years.
Glass food jars are becoming more difficult to find so I save all
those that come along... my wife likes the raspberry jam with seeds so
I save those jars. Today most food jars/bottles are plastic, I don't
save those, they go into the recyclables bin after I stomp them flat,
I flatten cans and boxes too otherwise it would never all fit into
that small bin. Most of our cans are aluminum cat food cans, those
are easy to stomp flat, with the lid inside.
Most of our recyclable trach is corrogated cardboard, large cartons
from Chewys and Amazon, I flatten those and tape them with packaging
tape so they don't open up. I don't need a trash compactor, I'm the

The point is not to filter viruses. It's to filter drops of

And why do we want to filter drops of snot and spit?

[Cindy Hamilton]

Because they contain viruses. Gary seems to think a mask is useless
unless it filters virus-sized particles (120 nm), where in reality a mask
that filters spit droplets (mainly >75 μm) will do the job nicely.

so don't bother making it from scratch. We'll eat some pasta but much
rather have dry egg noodles instead of all those brands labeled pasta
like Ronzoni, Prince, etc. It's typically in the section with Jewish
foods where one finds the various shaped dry egg noodles and they are
labeled egg noodles, not labeled pasta. Of course they cost about
twice the price of the standard wide, medium, fine , and curly egg
noodles, there are even toasted egg noodles in various shapes but are
usually smalls, typically cooked in plain water but served in chicken
soup. I've never seen packaged egg noodles labeled pasta, the package
always says "Egg Noodles". At home when people make their own pasta
and add eggs, like the typical celebrity TV chefs do, they are making
egg noodles, NOT pasta. Pasta is Italian, Italians do not use eggs as
an ingredient, neither do the Orientals use eggs as an ingredient in
their noodles... well perhaps a Pennsylvania Dutch Chink would prepare
Lo Mein with egg noodles. LOL The only noodle containing egg I know
of that chinks use is for egg roll wrappers, and that's likely a
bastardized American version of their spring roll.
Hijacking an ethnic recipe and changing it doesn't make it kosher. If
you ate at a restaurant in Belize there'd be noodle dishes on the
menu, however those noodles would be made from corn tortias, typically
in soups or fried as in nachos. Fact is the Mayans made corn noodles
long before any Chink ever saw a noodle.

Pasta can be dry or fresh, made with semolina or regular wheat flour,
with or without eggs.

While the accurate information about this virus tends to depend on the

Well, if you ever do try making it from scratch make sure that you have
some eggs on hand, because every pasta recipe I have tried used eggs.

[dsi1]

Japanese ramen noodles uses no eggs. What it does use is alkaline water. Hawaiian saimin does use eggs because it's based on Chinese noodles. Saimin, however, uses a soup that's very Japanese. Noodles are some pretty confusing stuff. OTOH, it's all a dough that's boiled instead of baked.

That's what the health department here was saying. Wear a mask to contain
your own spit and snot and not spread it to others. Not so you won't catch
it the virus from others but to protect others from you.

I don't think it was about healthy people wearing them. It's about
people wearing them even if they are not showing symptoms because they
could be carrying them and have not (yet) become ill.

You've never shopped at WallyWorld?? You're in for a shock, they have the
same national brands as your favorite supermarket. And like your favorite
supermarket they have their own house brand of goods.

Walmarts here are monitoring how many are allowed in the store at one time.
Also, their hours are greatly reduced. You want to shop at 8:00 p.m.?
Forget it, they're closed. You like to shop at the crack of dawn, head to
Walmart when they have their 'senior hours' and shelves are well-stocked.

If your favorite store doesn't have something you desperately need such as
toilet paper, eggs, or milk, get out of your comfort zone and check out
another store.

Uncle thinks the world is the same as his experience in his little hamlet in the middle of nowheresville. As far as pork goes, a lot of cultures considers pork to be a dirty meat. My auntie told me to boil pork first for a few minutes and dump out the water and continue boiling with fresh water. The Jews said "just forget about it."

I don't want to forget about it so I made some Okinawan shoyu pork. The pieces has some pork hair on the skin. That's real amateur hour stuff. I had to use a propane torch to burn it off. The pork turned out great though.

Fisher is usually a Jewish surname. He looked Ashkenazi as well. Combine that with his mannerisms, and you have all the markings of a sweet Jew. eh -D, "North of the Fifth Avenue Jews, a Jewish community thrived in Harlem. From the 1880s through the 1910s, it bustled with synogogues, public baths, and a substantial Jewish population in which German Jews predominated. In 1887, one Harlem family, the Frankels of East 117 Street, proudly sent out engraved invitations to the confirmation (in Hebrew, "Bar- Mitzvah") of their son Philip at Congregation B'nai Sholom on Lexington Avenue. Mr. & Mrs. Frankel, who were married in 1873 on Division Street in what was then Klein deutschland, were still in Harlem in 1923 to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. For a short time, Harlem was the third largest Jewish community in the world after the Lower East Side and Warsaw, Poland, with a Jewish population of well over 100,000. But in the 1920s, as the African-American population grew, Jewish congregations left their synagogues and Harlem's Jewish community waned. Several of those German congregations went on to reastablish themselves on the Upper West Side of Manhattan" - WHEN HARLEM WAS JEWISH, excerpt from JEWISH NY: NOTABLE

Well said! He also forgets that Gentile consumers account for 70% of the $6B worth of Kosher foods sold each year in the US. It has very little to do with religion, and everything to do with common sense and civility. Why did Ballpark once release their own line of Kosher franks? And if he lives in a fly-over state, they may have to FedEx in that converted yellow-bellied heathen sucker. ehe "Hey Verne, I think we gots (eh) us here our first live Jew.

If you were civil, you wouldn't eat meat. And you certainly wouldn't
eat meat that was slaughtered in an extra painful way, just because
you think your friend in the sky likes that.

[darr...@aol.com]

Kosher slaughter is humane. We do not allow the animal to drown in its own blood. At the same time, you do make a good point. Having watched my fair share of docus on slaughter houses, I have always felt guilty when eating meat. My taste buds ultimately overshadow my guilt. If KFC follows suit like BK's Impossible Whopper, I just may become a vegan. eh

Why is that? Are you a Walmart phobe?eh Overlooking a few fugly ass cracks, everything under the sun can be found in one place. eh Aisle upon aisle of food.

"We answer to a higher authority" is a pretty righteous tagline. "Righteous" in the 70's slang meaning "awesome." But it's also righteous in a non-secular, divine, sense. As far as David Sarnoff goes, God bless him!
