Caveat: This week, all meat back in stock as per new stocking hours and new stocker hires.
Plant based what? Plants?
Go to a Half-Price Books or other placed that sells used music CDs. The stuff you _can’t_ find? (Beatles, Pink Floyd, King Crimson) Yeah, that’s the good stuff. Most everything else? Crap.
Same thing with the grocery stores during a panic. What’s left is something you probably don’t want. All the really good stuff is gone.
Does anyone know what is wrong with dasani water? (just curious, I don’t buy bulk water)
Vendor to Homer Simpson: “Mountain Dew or crab juice?”
Homer Simpson: “Yuck, ick! I’ll take a crab juice.”
Hmmm...I see there is no fresh whole bat on the shelves. I guess they cant keep that in stock! ;-)
No doubt they are buying a bunch of high-carb crap.
Viruses love sugar.
What’s with people buying all the pasta? Spaghetti and meatballs again tonight mom? And I love Italian food.
I went to the local Kroger a week ago at about 5:30 on a Friday. Place had generally been picked over by locusts. But there in an end cap coffin freezer was a pretty good panoply of Beyond Meat products. Beyond Sausage, Beyond Hamburger, etc. It was pretty darn funny.
My wife could be a chef. About 2 years ago she started cooking full dinner meals on a single cookie sheet pan with a mat of parchment paper on the top of the bottom of the sheet.
She does the veggies and meat/chicken/sausages/fish/salmon in our top oven at about 425 for 15 to 25 minutes. Her seasonings are virgin olive oil poured/sprayed on the veggies and the meat with sea salt and ground pepper.
Sliced Cremini mushrooms,sliced carrots and sliced bell peppers are the key veggies. Sometimes sliced zukes are part of the veggies or Brussell sprouts. The veggies are placed around the main dish on top of the parchment paper.
Cleanup after dinner with the parchment paper liner fast and easy. I save any leftovers in a plastic zip lock bag and toss the used parchment paper into the compostable trash container. Then I rinse off the cookie sheet pans.
The peppers are now rare in the stores sometimes, and the mushrooms. Brussel sprouts can be hard to find.
We stock up on the peppers, zukes, Brussel sprouts and creminis and carrots. They will last about a week in a cool area of our home. She also buys the small potatoes and halves them as a carb.
I said the same thing to my husband over the weekend: “you can tell what nobody wants!” All the regular cereal was gone, there was tons of the organic stuff. The only meat was “beyond meat” and it looked terrible. The only pasta was gluten free, one package of brown rice pasta and one of spinach pasta. Hilarious!
All except for one space on the isle that had plenty of King's Hawaiian bread, ALL of it was just sitting there untouched. I didn't buy any of that sugary crap either.
I was at a Kroger just this evening. Noted that the plant based meat alternatives were well stocked. No ground beef. Still no TP which surprised me. Pretty good stock of eggs which I was pleased to see.
Things are so desperate here in Texas, that people are actually willing to buy salsa made in New York City.

Bats?
Last week the entire meat counters were empty. No beef, chicken, pork, or special products. In the middle of this desert was a fully shelf of beyond meat products. Different types, flavors, and colors of pretend meat. All by itself.
Even the butcher was laughing about it. We both agreed that no one was THAT hungry yet.
Stocked up on Briskets and pork loins, have enough meat for a while.
