Just dropped $300 at whole foods, buying mostly for me and the gf plus some stuff for my sister's household. Got everything to make Beef Bourginion (sp) then dropped 120 at the discount liquor store. Such are the times we are in
Drops $300 at Whole Foods, orders pizza for dinner. I like it.
Wife made miso glazed arctic char the other night. Tomorrow we plan on ordering from a local restaurant we have never eaten at. It's a Hawaiian restaurant. I don't consider Pho and Sushi to be Hawaiian but maybe that's just my ignorance of Hawaiian fare. Had very good reviews on Google so we will give it a shot.Had Pho last night and Miso glazed cod is on the menu for tonight. So far coronavirus eating habits have been quite tasty
I've been using the EarthCams app fairly much. Very interesting peeking in on various locations around the world and here in the US of A. As the virus hit, the streets were packed all over the world. In New Orleans for example, Bourbon Street was as festive as it could be so it's not that shocking that Louisiana later became on of the virus hotspots. Prague too was full of people and vacationers on the square, then suddenly noting. No one. Even the famous Temple Bar over in Dublin became a ghost town. Streets empty. The Abbey Road crossing in London had been full of vacationers and locals reenacting that famous Beatle album photo. Then suddenly, the road was only cars and busses. The pedestrians staying away.
Looking around the world, live in real time, was and still is quite an eye opener. Sad, actually. But in the last few days the people are beginning to return. Not as strong as before, but slowly. Back in Prague the foot traffic is returning slowly, and the same with Abbey Road. Dublin's Temple Bar is closed but the streets are coming alive once again. New Orleans has stopped their live feed and instead only offers up photos from the the past when Bourbon street was alive. You can get a real true indication of the Coronavirus impact from just poking around the world watching how life has changed. The streets of New York still eerie quiet, many casino streets in Las Vegas are actually blocked off to pedestrians, the Florida Everglades glass bottom boats all lined up in a row with no where to go. Over in Bali Indonesia the elephants are getting a break. The Bali elephant bathing pool has no one to ride the elephants, and the Bali elephant trail cam seldom do you see a single soul walking along.
That is not all I am doing to entertain myself during this pandemic, but at least it's something.
My teeth are fuzzy from eating Easter candy.
I think I'll stick with home-baked desserts from now on.
Miss Dawson, my tummy hurts.

I kinda want some candy but that would require me going out lol. I could past, i got a whole pot of pasta i been digging into since yesterday
It's kind of like the day after Halloween, aka Adult Halloween (50% off candy lol).
I recently discovered that the mini Cadberry solid-chocolate eggs make AMAZING homemade trailmix, along with mixed salted nuts & other mix-ins (I'm a big fan of Trader Joe's jumbo raisins!). No sissy M&M's for the chocolate fix in my trailmix!
I miss making jello and pudding and frozen desserts. Iced mocha sounds good about now. I need a good blender if i want some milkshakes or something. I lack one atm.
I've been doing a bunch of Jello projects, including homemade Jello (gelatin powder) and Protein Jello (why protein gives it a weird texture, but I recently got some clear protein & am working on flavoring it up right). Homemade gummies too, and layered colors at different angles & stuff. If you're looking for supplies, Amazon has all kinds of Jello products, including Jolly Rancher flavors! This is the plain gelatin I use:

As far as frozen desserts go, I'm fortunate to live by a farm & get my fresh heavy cream from them. I have a Cuisinart freezer-bowl ice cream maker & have been working on perfecting various ice cream flavors. I've got the base down (custard-style with eggs, cooked sous-vide). So far I've mastered vanilla, strawberry, cookie dough (microwave the flour + sous-vide the eggs to pasteurize), and a few others. I'm hoping to lock in a really amazing chocolate ice cream this month. I've got the brownie chunks down as well (they stay chewy when frozen!).
I am going to be so fat when all of this is over
Yeah i go for the day after Valentines day candy, the dollar general usually has TONS of jelly beans and sweethearts which are my favorite.
About trailmix i sometimes have a bit of it but usually i go for butter popcorn as i love it in front of the pc with my music or just when i binge things on the 4k tv. Popcorn gets popped down to a science almost where it comes out perfect and sometimes i add a bit of butter and sugar and shake the bag and its wow. Very good.
My brother recently "borrowed" my Nordic microwave bowl popcorn maker. I replaced it with this, which works equally awesome:

I've got salted, butter, cheesy, kettle, soft caramel, and hard caramel down. Currently working on a legit-quality Moose Munch clone. Progress is slow...but delicious
I got one of those gifted to me, i used the holy hell out of that thing. Only shame was the powder would never stick, made the popcorn very plain. I guess pam and stuff helps make it stick? I ended up usually sprinkling butter on fresh popcorn. I left it with the ex when i left, she prob still uses it. Entire household went crazy for the stuff.
Despite the mess and the trouble i prob prefer my bags still or those big xmas containers with the mix. I am like a mouse with cheese if i get gifted one of those tubs. The cheese disappears then the caramel. Speaking of cheese i am having a insane craving for some string cheese like omg i could eat 20 sticks right now in a single sitting. Chase it down with some nesquick strawberry......
Whenever I'm in Vermont, I always get this Cabot cheese powder, the stuff is ridiculously addicting:

Cabot proudly offers a wide selection of award-winning cheeses made from our co-operative of 800 dairy farm families. Try the best cheese in the world today!www.cabotcheese.coop
Having a nice little system setup sounds a bit much for such a simple snack, but in practice:
1. Fill the silicone popcorn bowl to the line with popcorn
2. Cook for about 2 minutes in my microwave
3. Shake or stir to add flavoring
Nearly as easy as a fold-up packaged popcorn sleeve, but you get an infinite amount of topping options, and better-quality popcorn (for cheaper!) to boot!
I really wish I hadn’t sold all my game consoles 8 years back (or at least gotten a new one!)
