Pork chop sandwich, Ritz crackers with guacamole, and a pickle spear.

Black coffee.

Cooked a turkey on the Charbeque last night, had that with mashed taters ‘n gravy and a salad tonight.

A CO2 drawdown dinner!

Went on Walmart.com today and was stunned to see my local store has no-contact delivery to your porch! I reserved a time slot for Saturday, and then proceeded to order about $200 dollars of staples and canned goods. Then I went to pay and Chase denied my transaction. I called Chase and got them to allow it. Went back to Walmart and tried to pay again but they claimed my security code did not match. (It did.) Then they said my delivery time slot was no longer available and they had none left for today or tomorrow. They would not even give me the option of Saturday, and said try tomorrow.

They actually changed their website while I was ordering! Nice. At least Home Depot accepted my order for a new fridge delivered on April 15th. We'll see if they can actually do it. Won't have any food to put in it, but it would be nice to go in the kitchen and not hear death throes from the appliances.

Woke up at 5 AM to get in the morning phone queue with Walmart grocery customer support. (7 AM Central Time) A very nice lady helped me pay for my order and schedule a pickup on Sunday. Which is very convenient because I will go there in a pickup truck, so they can put my gigantic order in the back.

Now the question is how much do you tip a guy for shopping for you and bringing it out to your truck? I am also rather curious about exactly what they will give me. Several of their website items sold out while I was ordering. They probably get more in by Sunday. I also checked the "substitute similar items" box. It's sort of grocery roulette. I hope I don't get canned asparagus. I hate that stuff, although I love fresh asparagus steamed with butter. Have not found sacks of flour and yeast anywhere yet.

King Arthur Flour is still shipping as far as I know. Amazon might have it too. I had just opened a 1 pound bag of yeast and stocked up on flour before this all turned into a nightmare.
The lack of yeast has started a huge sourdough craze, but sourdough requires a lot of feeding so the discards will eventually eat into your supply of flour. They make great pancakes though.

I'm thawing out some soup I had in the freezer from happier days.

I'm hoping the flavour of better times will come through.
