I was thinking of other food stuffs.

I get why you'd shop there, since it's easier than getting run over by inattentive drivers.  They don't have a wide selection of basic foods there, sadly, so much of what's on offer has been messed with by someone else.

I just heated some turkey from last night's dinner and had a can of Green Giant corn.  I probably got it for free with some kind of CVS Thanksgiving deal years ago, but I'm trying to use up what's in the pantry.  I wish I could drop off some of our excess for you but you might as well be on the moon, given the distance.

I like to experiment with different foods. For instance, I could make my own refried beans, but instead I've been buying different brands to see which ones I like best.

One interesting technique I saw recently was someone who sheet pan cooks his ground beef, then he breaks it up with gloves. I've never done that before, but I might try it some day.

I don't like walking to the grocery store as I have to cross an artery to get there, and a lot of people make right turns without looking at that corner. I don't want to get hit.

So I buy a lot of weird poo at dollar tree.

I also find this contrast highly amusing. Smokes is hitting up a place that has a century of tradition and innovation. I'm eating packet meat.

That place looks fabulous.  Let us know what you thought.

I just had leftover matzoh ball soup from the Seder I attended last night.  It is delicious and can't beat the fact that it's so easy to heat and eat.  Now -- two matzoh balls later -- I feel like a nap.

Abigail (2024)

Woof, this movie was dogshit. The outline has bones but the movie does not. The idea of a criminal organization using a vampire to dispose of loose ends was neat, and some of the vampire powers were unique. The way thralls are controlled was a short and fairly chilling moment, ruined by the occasional departure to humor that this movie should have avoided. They're never afraid to puncture a moment of building terror with a shitty one liner.

If you can see it for free, there are some interesting effects, but as a movie this is a solid non recommend.

I feel bad for the actress who plays Abigail, she's clearly working her ass off throughout the whole film, but no one could have saved that script.

Giancarlo Esposito is fully wasted, if you've seen the trailer you've seen 90% of his character. They can't all be prestige!
