Swiss chard, celery, onion, basil, radishes, carrots, dill, scallions, tomato, pepper and something I’d never tried before.
A Korean melon.
It’s a delicate flavor, like cantaloupe… with the consistency of a cucumber.
At the store this week –
A clearance sale on Hostess coffee.
Poor SnoBalls.
Apparently no one likes them in caffeinated liquid form either.
Italian flour.
WTH?
Do the Irish and French have some as well. And if so, why?
Gag.
More meatless meat. This time in balls.
So wrong.
And yes, the brand name toilet paper was still on the shelves.
But right across the aisle?
Not a Brawny or Bounty in sight.
Thirsty paper towels?
Trust me, they’re anything but.
River's world.....

I’ve never made my own pizza crust so I’ll have to trust you on that….

00 flour denotes the size of how fine the flour is ground. You use this in pasta making and, as stated above, pizza dough.

But is it Italian…?

Yep, that’s an Italian brand. They make a very good dried pasta, too.

Horrors! Flavored coffee of any kind is more than my delicate constitution could handle, but Twinkie and Snowball flavors? Someone at Hostess Brands needs to be executed.
Pizza flour is real … it is made from a different wheat and coarser grind.
I shan’t let anything labeled “plant based” pass my lips … ever!

The only plant based foods I want are actual plants. Meat is not a plant. Ever.

Poor SnoBalls. They never did get much respect. I liked them as a kid and would probably eat them today if I weren’t making a conscious effort to avoid sugar as much as possible.
On a related note, we saw chocolate Twinkies in the store the other day.

Hostess flavored coffee? It must be a regional thing, I’ve never seen those flavors here, ever. And as Martha Stewart would say, that’s a good thing, lol. ☕️☕️☕️

Oddly enough I never saw them till the other day when they were on clearance.

Italian “00” flour is the best for making pizza crust. The husband won’t use anything else. Bonus: we can only get it at our local Italian market, which serves amazing pizza by the slice, so if we’re out of “00” flour and I time it just right, I can make a run to the Italian market, pick up a slice for lunch, bring the flour home, and get pizza again for dinner!

All these people making their own pizza. Now I feel like a slacker.

I love the idea of plant based or meatless meats. It helps a lot of us attend barbecues and parties and still eat a “hot dog” like everyone else.

But meatless meat is not meat…. and therefor, must be made fun of. Call it a kale burger or a soy dog, and know that you’ll live longer than the rest of us. Because no one should be consuming what makes up a real hot dog!

Cleaning supplies have disappeared. Our stores are out of sponges. Snoball Coffee? Plant-base meatballs? What’s wrong with this world?

Cleaning supplies are touch and go here. Sometimes the shelves are full, others empty. There’s plenty of Snoball coffee though….

Two notes: 1) If you really want to see the weird stuff at the grocery store, you need to redirect your camera to what is in the aisles, and 2)If they are plant based, they no longer qualify as “meat”balls

There is plant-based meat popping up everywhere in our local supermarket. After I convince the family to eat chicken and spinach sausages, it’s over to plant-based sausages.
