Oh, cheeses

 Up around 2. I'd packed all the packages last night, and figured I could make two trips today, or one today and then take this one really large box tomorrow, as FedEx is open on Saturdays again. 

I took off at a quarter to 5, did all my drop offs, and in the dumpsters behind H Mart found 3 packages of sliced provolone cheese that looked fine, a block of mozzarella that turned out to be molding (could trim off the outside if I were desperate but  I dunno) and a little half-pound tub of "spreadable" Challenge brand butter. So about $20 worth of free dairy products. 

I found some packing stuff too and pondered making the 2nd trip with the big box tonight, but I started getting rained on a bit so I just got back in here and got the place all buttoned up. 

I keep getting cravings to go to this or that restaurant but as with my recent "shrimp with shishito" meal at that place on the Alameda, all it amounts to is an expensive meal that's not any better than I could cook myself. So I got settled down here and tried a few slices of the provolone, which is pretty "ok" - it's the sort of bland cheese people stack with pepperoni and such things in sandwiches. But the price was right.  Then I used some of the spreadable butter and some garlic and make really garlicky, buttery, scrambled eggs.

Last night just before going to bed (but before doing voice exercises) I'd heard on the radio that Biden had a comfortable lead in Pennsylvania, which I didn't think would happen. It looks like the wannabe tin-pot dictator is on his way out. What's funny is he's been trying to start up court cases in various states and the judges are just dismissing the cases. 

I ended up trimming the moldy parts (on cheese it's usually penicillin) off the mozzarella cheese and it's fine.

Cold and foggy Friday

 I woke up around 11, and even around noon it's foggy and dark.  I should mention that "dead internet theory", the theory that...
