I visited 4 of the 5 thrift stores in my former town. I almost forgot that I visited the thrift store at the KC Salvation Army main office. The only thing there was a piano in the as-is area.
There was nothing at the 1st shop. At the 2nd one, the Yamaha organ was still there. The next place was Goodwill. There was a Percussion Plus drumset for $124.
Earlier, I went to Savers. There was nothing in the main area. When I looked at the back area, there was a small(for an organ) kb there. It had an electrical cord, so it was either an organ or some kind of electric piano. When a worker passed by, I asked if I could take a peek. He said yes. It was made by Baldwin. After doing a bit of Google, I found the model is Fun Machine.
As for the one I didn't visit, I was going to go there to look around, and also donate a shit ton of stuff from the old house. It took longer to do other stuff, so I didn't have time to go over there.
Next week, I'll have to talk about a few other things, and some oddness concerning this site.
That's all for this week. I should be back next week.

Hello. It has been a shitty week, in which a ton of little things happen. It makes me wonder if something like that happened to Kate Spade and/or Anthony Bourdain, and it just drove them too far.
Sorry to continue the morbidity, but I'd also like to pay tribute to the toad I think I hit with my lawnmower. That was just another element of my shitty week.
Even through all of that, I still refrained from my shredded wheat, though I did some stress eating on Thu. I would've done so Wed, but I was too worn out.
It's chow time!
Continuing from last week, I finished up the Oscar Mayer turkey and the Clancy's pringles. Their product name for these are Stackerz.
Sat: I got a pizza from Papa Murphy's. For those that don't know, they make your pizza, and you bring it home and bake it. They were having some deal on 3 different pizzas that I'm thinking were called NYXL. I got the peperoni and sausage. It was good. Even though it was thin crust, it still filled me up.
When I got there, it was 8:49 pm, and they close at 9. To get rid of their expired inventory, they offered me a large peperoni for maybe $6. I wanted the bigger pizza. A lady came in after me. The guy told her about the expired salads and cheesy bread. He told her the cb was only $5. I wish the guy would have told me about the cb; I would have got one of those and the $6 pizza instead.
Sun: I got Chinese food at a place right near my parents new house. I got wonton soup, fried (pork?) dumplings, and a dish called Seafood Delight. They were all good.
This week, I ran out of mustard. I forget what day it was. I have a new bottle, but I haven't opened it up.
Mon: I snacked on some stuff before I left my parents house for the last time of my days off. This included a can of Clancy's Stackerz. They were the Sour Cream & Onion flavor. They didn't seem to taste as good as real Pringles or Lay's Stax.
I had enough to snack on that I didn't get anything at Walmart when I went there.
My meal was fried rice and veggies....It was good....
Tue: Same meal as Mon.
Wed: See Tue.
Thu: I had 3 snacks. First was a package of Maruchan ramen. It was the Chicken Mushroom flavor. It was good. Later I had a package of Lunch Mate(ALDI) Buddig copy. It was chicken. I recall it tasted like the Buddig. The last snack was a bag of Pretzel Crackers from a brand called Deutsche Kuche from ALDI. They were ok.
I bet you can guess what my meal was.
Fri: I had 2 snacks. First was a bag of what I call Mexican Funyuns. They were good. Later I had I bag of tortilla chips I got from the h/n/o store. They were from a brand called Way Better. They were the Black Bean variety. They were ok.
My meal was something I haven't had in a while. It was pasta and spinach. The reason I haven't had for so long is that frozen spinach hasn't been on sale. A few weeks ago, one of the grocery chains had Birds Eye frozen veggies on sale for $.99. Besides picking up a bunch of broccoli, I also got a bunch of spinach.
I need to mention 2 things. The pasta was some gluten-free fusilli from ALDI my mom gave me because she didn't like it. Here is a pic I found: kkcb.com/files/2017/08/gluten-free-pasta.jpg?w=980&q=75 I only made half the bag. The package said not to overcook it. I always cook pasta longer than the instructions say because I like it softer, and it gets bigger. I don't think I cooked it as long as other brands of pasta, but apparently, I cooked it way longer than I should. After it was done cooking, I took it off the burner, but didn't drain it right away. After I drained it, which I'll get to soon, I looked in the pot. The pieces broke up, and turned mushy. I dumped the spinach in the pot, along with some canola oil, and stirred it all up. Even though it was physically fucked up, it tasted good. I had it plain and with my 3 items.
The last time I made pasta, after I dumped out the water, it left a gelatinous area of starch in the sink. I figured next time I should save this and do something with it. This time, I dumped the starchy water in the frying pan. I then set it in the oven to cool off. Later, I dumped the water in the small casserole dish. You may be wondering why I didn't dump the water in it in the first place. Well, I was using the dish to cook my spinach. I then put the dish in the fridge. I thought it was going to congeal, but it is still watery. I think I'll see if I can skim some stuff off the top and put it in a separate container.
My meat item was a 15oz can of Crown Prince sardines. They were good. Even though I used the good can opener, there were 2 spots it missed.
Sat: My first snack was a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. It was good. Later, I had 3 things. I finished the third bag of Robin Eggs. They were good. I think I'll not open the last bag for a while. The other 2 items were chocolate covered pecans and walnuts from the h/n/o store. They were good. One negative is that I'm getting chocolate on my fingers because my house is hot. The thermostat says the house is still 83F even though it has cooled off outside for hours, and I have the overhead fan on. I'm weird in that I want to see how long I can go without turning the ac on. Also, I need to reprogram the thermostat for ac usage.
I'll have my meal later. I was debating on what I should have. I think I made my choice. I based it on already having the small pot dirty(from cooking the ramen).
That's pretty much it. I started typing around 1:30 am. I was reading stuff and fucking around after SNL. I then took a nap. Then I checked my email and fucked around a bit more. It is now 5:04am. I think I'll take another nap. I also want to do some more reading, but I need to first shut up the cricket in my garage. I think I'll also set my thermostat in case it gets too hot.
Bye!

Well I am getting my latest start yet. I was wanting to watch SNL because there was major glitching the first time it was on. I dozed off during the first half hour, but watched the rest. I then watched 2 episodes of Bob's Burgers. I then watched an episode of Law & Order, but dozed off during the last half hour. Actually, I think I did that thing were I would zone out for a few seconds 1 or 2 times during the first half hour. I then watched Bones, and maybe zoned out once. I then finished my reading and took a nap. I hit the snooze button twice. I should have done it once, since I missed the first 8 min of Washington Week because I forgot it was on. I do my reading during the commercial breaks. If I had dozed off during the first 30min of L&O, I wouldn't have watched the rest, and did my reading. If Bones was the episode listed on Zap2it, and not one I hadn't seen, I could have finished my reading and took a nap. It is almost 4:30am now. I'm going to see If I can haul ass through this.
Sat: The only thing I'll mention is a box of Keebler Town House Pita Crackers. They were the Mediterranean Herb flavor. They were good.
Sun: Nothing worth mentioning except I opened a new jar of pb. Will review when done.
Mon: I snacked on a bag of Late July tortilla chips. They were the Buffalo Queso flavor. They were good. They didn't have cheese taste, but tasted like buffalo sauce. I don't think there was any heat.
The meal was fried rice and veggies. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
I almost forgot to mention something else. Last week, I talked about saving the starchy water. I used it in the pan Tue, Wed, Thu. I think I omitted in Mon due to forgetting about it. I don't think it affected the taste.
Tue: See Mon meal.
Wed: I had 2 items. One was a can of Brookdale Vienna sausage. It was good. I put it in the fridge beforehand. The other was a bag of store-brand veggie chips from the h/n/o store. They were good, and were not salty.
For the meal, see Tue.
Thu: It was a stressful day(I think the other days were also) so I did stress snacking. First I had a bag of Peas Please pea puff things. They were the Sea Salt flavor. They were good but didn't taste salty. Later I had a bag of microwave popcorn. It was from Jolly Time. I think it is the Blast O Butter variety. I put it in the microwave for 1:45. There were maybe 11 unpopped kernels. It was very good. It had enough "butter", so I didn't feel the need to add canola oil; if I did need to, I wouldn't have felt like getting up and doing so. I dumped the popcorn in an empty Instant Lunch cup and ate it with chopsticks.
When I was cooking, I opened up a ? of Klements summer sausage. It was the Garlic variety. It was good. I don't think it tasted like garlic. Since shit had happened at that time, I got stressed and ate a ton of it.
My actual meal was fried rice and veggies. It was good plain and with my 3 items. Due to the aforementioned shit, I didn't feel like tending to the pan while I was dealing with said shit. This means the cabbage and onions got a bit burnt. This didn't negatively affect the taste.
I can't remember if I took a dump after I got home from work and/or right before I ate. About an hour after I ate, I woke up and felt icky in my digestive system. I got up and took a big dump. It burned coming out which I attribute to stomach acid.
I fucked up on my notes. I didn't notate the popcorn. This means the Wed and Thu snacks may not be correct. The pea puffs may be Wed, and the Vs/vc and popcorn should be switched.
Fri: When I got home from work, I was extremely hungry, probably due to emptying out that morning. I finally gave in and ate a bunch of shredded wheat. I didn't have them with any canola oil though. Later, I had a bag of Specially Selected Blue Cheese Bites from ALDI. They were ok. They did have that odd blue cheese taste. Much later, I had that old bag of Flamin Hot Cheetos that I mentioned 2 weeks ago. They didn't taste bad. All I noticed was that they weren't very hot even though the flavor seemed normal.
When cooking my meal, I had some summer sausage.
For the sake of time, see Fri meal for last week to see what I had.
Sat: My first snack was a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. It was good. Later, I had 3 things. I had chocolate covered pecans and walnuts from the h/n/o store. They were good. I also opened up a new bag of candy. It was Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme eggs. They were good.
I will likely snack on some summer sausage while cooking my meal.
That's it for now. It is 6:21am, which is a good thing since my meal will take a long time to prepare. First though, I think I'm going to take another nap since I think I dozed off for a few seconds a few times while typing this.
See you next week.

This is another late start. I watched SNL, even though I've seen it before. I then did some reading. I now have on L&O. I finished my reading during the commercials. I'm going to watch Bones next if I see I haven't seen it before. If that is the case, I'll type this up during it. Then I'm going to take a nap.
This week was one where I want to post FUCK in large letters. There was a bunch of stress snacking, and a new experimentso this may take a while.
I tried a new hot sauce. It is Burman's from ALDI. The bottle is small, so I'll have to get another bottle of hot sauce, whether it's that or another brand. I'll have to check the price, then see if there's something cheaper at the grocery store.
I'll make this easy for myself, and less tedious for you, by saying I snacked on summer sausage every day when I was cooking, and on Sun before my actual "meal". I also had some shredded wheat, then the crumbs before they ran out on Thu. I don't think I had any Sun. Sometimes I had them with canola oil, even though I shouldn't.
Sat: My meal was soup. Since I don't have potatoes, I cooked 1/4 cup of rice. I then fried some onion and cabbage, then threw it in the pot. I then put some uncooked cabbage and onion in the pot. I cooked half a bag of frozen peas and carrots then threw it in the pot. I then poured in 1 box of chicken broth. Finally I added some water to fill the pot some more. I then brought it to a boil. I then turned the burner down to simmer. I then waited 20 min. Then I stirred it up. I then waited another 20 min. During that time, I took an Eckrich smoked sausage and cut it into bite sized pieces. The sausage was the Polska Keibasa variety. I then put the sausage pieces in my small casserole dish and cooked them in the microwave. I then got rid of the resulting liquid(in my mouth, good). REMEMBER: You must cook the sausage and get rid of the liquid that cooks out, or else the soup will taste only like sausage! When the 20 min was up, I stirred the soup again and added the sausage. I then waited another 20 min, then it was done. I tried the soup plain and with other stuff. And yes, I made a list: plain: It was good, and shows that if something's good, you don't need extra seasoning. canola oil: No difference. soy sauce: It was ok. pepper: It didn't add flavor, but added heat garlic powder: No difference. chili powder: No difference. hot sauce: It was good, and added heat.
Sun: Nothing to mention.
It's now nap time, so I'll be back in a bit. Ok, I'm back.
Mon: My snack was a bag of Late July tortilla chips. They were the Mild Green Mojo flavor, and were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies. Like I said last week, I am low on broccoli, so I used half a bag of peas and carrots. The meal was good both plain and with my 3 items, which now includes the Burman's hot sauce.
Tue: My first snack was a bag of those Peas Please pea snacks. They were the Southwest Spice and were good. Later I had 2 other things. First was a can of Pringles. They were the Jalapeno flavor. They were good. There was some decent heat. Then I had a can of Brookdale Vienna sausages out of the fridge, which were good.
My meal was the same as Mon.
Wed: My snack was a bag of Mexican funyuns which were good.
My meal was an experiment. I made my veggie fajitas. I used half a bag of peas and carrots, but I've done that before. What was new was that I used a bag of ALDI pita bread. While the meal was good, it was a failure due to the pita bread. This was for 2 possibly related reasons. When I took them out of the bag, the top one was soggy on about a third of it, and the 2 underneath were soggy on the edge. I checked the bag, and there was a hole in it. After I got the bag home on Mon, it got wet. Also, the pita were hard to open up. I'm wondering if the hole in the bag caused them to get stale.
I had better results(and no bag holes) on Thu, so I'll elaborate more there.
At work on Thu, I was farting a lot.
Thu: I had 2 snacks. First was a Maruchan ramen noodles. They were the Lime Chili Shrimp flavor, and were good. Later I had pork rinds. They were from the Utz company. They were good. They came in a large 8oz plastic jar. I intended only to eat a few. Of course that didn't happen. I ended up eating between 2/3 and 3/4.
My meal was the veggie fajitas, with the pita bread. First I cut all the pitas in half so each was 2 half circles. They opened up relatively easy this time. I then prepared them similar to how I do the tortillas: 1 nothing 2 heated up in the microwave 3 heat in the hot pan with no oil 4 rub oil on the tortilla 5 put oil in the pan
This is also the order I ate them.
As for condiments, I had them in this order: 1 nothing 2 pepper 3 hot sauce 4 both 5 nothing
They were all good, but I'm thinking I didn't really taste the extra stuff.
I don't think I'll use the pita again for my fajitas. They were more work to cut and open. Each bag is maybe $1.49. The flour tortillas are $1 for 10, which I split over2 meals. I will buy them for Xmas or NY's to have with humus.
Fri morning, shortly before I have my alarm set to, I woke up with my digestive system feeling icky. I got up and took a large cake mix like dump.
At work, I was farting even more than the day before, and they were stinkier.
I guess there is such a thing as too many pork rinds. I think I'll not buy any for quite a while.
Fri: Shortly after getting home from work, I snacked on some of the pork rinds. A lot later, I had a can of V sausages. I was either going to have them at 11pm while watching TMZ or at 12am during Miami Vice. Well, I fell asleep during TMZ, and didn't wake up until 12:16am. I then went in my bedroom and slept(and/or just laid in bed) for an hour. I then got up to do my "Fri" reading. I then intended to have another snack at 3:30am, but I think it was a lot later. It was a bag of Late July popcorn. It was the Sea Salt variety. It was good. I poured it into an Instant Lunch cup and ate it with chopsticks.
Due to me dozing off, and possible brain damage(a discussion for another time maybe), my reading took way longer than usual. Sat morning, I was not feeling like making the meal I had planned: pasta and spinach(and big-ass sardines). I think around 7am, I finished the pork rinds.
Besides not feeling like making an actual meal, I didn't feel like opening a bag of snacks. I knew I should try to eat something. I decided to have a Maruchan Instant Lunch. It was one of the new Udon noodle ones. It was the Soy Sauce flavor(the other is Miso). It was good, but I don't recall it really tasting like soy sauce. I think I started eating around 11:39am.
Sat: I first snacked on a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. It was good. A little later, I had the choco walnuts and pecans from the h/n/o store, and almost finished the bag of Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme eggs. They were all good. That stuff went right through me because soon after eating it, I felt pressure in my colon. I then had to take an emergency dump. I had extra cleanup due to splashback. And it feels like I need to go again.
That's all the food for now. I'll have my actual meal later. I got a bit of reading to do. Also, I want my insides to calm down, especially since my meal will probably rile things up. I' probably have to take a dump this afternoon, and it'll look like this: www.express.co.uk/news/world/978517/hawaii-volcano-eruption-latest-big-island-fire-kilauea-fissure-pictures
I'm having 4 things, but will probably only review 1.
Oh yeah, I'm going to see if TMZ put Fri's ep up already, and watch it if they did.
It's now 7:41am. So I'll see you next week.

Mmmmmmph! Another late start. Let's just go straight to the food.
On Mon, I bought a box of shredded wheat at ALDI. I opened it on Tue, and finished it on Thu. Sometimes I had them with canola oil even though I should be avoiding that. I finished the crumbs on Fri, and had them with canola oil.
I also finished up the summer sausage. I have another one to open. Menards was having a sale on them for $4.99 this week, which is an awesome deal, so I picked up another pair. I looked at one of them, and the sell by date was May 2019.
Sat: The only item I will mention is a can of Spam. It was the Bacon flavor. It didn't taste like bacon, but it was still good.
Sun: I had half a box of saltine crackers. They were the Daily Basics from ALDI. They weren't very good. Saltines are a very hit or miss product.
Mon: I had 2 snacks. First was a can of Brookdale Vienna sausages. I had them right off the shelf. They were good, but not as good as they are out of the fridge. The other was a bag of Grounded Snacks tortilla chips. The bag indicates they are made out of red rice and quinoa. They were the French Onion flavor. They were good, but it seemed like the flavor was more like guacamole chip flavoring.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using peas and carrots. It was good alone and with my 3 items.
Tue: See Mon meal.
Wed: See Tue meal.
Thu: The Church's Chicken near my house has a deal from M-Th, 2-4pm, where you can get 8pc of legs and thighs for $5. I raced over there and got 2 orders of the spicy version. I also got 2 large orders of brown gravy. It was pretty good. Since I ate the chicken way later than when I bought it, It was a bit dried out. Some of the pieces were spicy. I finished all of the actual chicken. I only didn't finish a bunch of the crunchy stuff and the gravy. I dumped the crunch in with the gravy and mixed it up.
It took me about 90min to eat. If I had known that, I would've started sooner.
Literally in the middle of my meal, I had to rush off and take a dump. A few hours later, a bit before I have my alarm set to go off, I had to go again, and it was liquid.
At work, for my lunch break, I take a nap(or at least attempt to). For some reason, sometimes it makes me have to take a dump. If I'm lucky, it goes away enough that I can make it home, and go when I'm ready. Sometimes I have to get home and rush to get my clothes off then poop. A few times, I couldn't stand it, and had to shit at work. Fri, I got the pain/pressure, but they went away when I did my errands. On the way home, they came back. When I got home, they subsided enough that I was able to put my groceries away and get a drink of water. Then when I went, it was a bit of liquid/solid followed by a small fart. It pisses me off when I have all that discomfort over just a little bit of poo/fart.
Fri: My first snack was the leftover crunch/gravy from the previous night's meal. It was good. Later I had 2 items. First was a can of Brookdale Vienna sausages. I had them right off the shelf. They were good, but not as good as they are out of the fridge. The other item was a store-brand bag of veggie straws from the h/n/o store. They were good. Fortunately, they are not too salty.
The meal was the same as M-W.
Sat: I first snacked on a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. It was good. A little later, I had the choco walnuts and pecans from the h/n/o store, and finished the bag of Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme eggs. I also opened the last bag of Robin Eggs. They were all good. I also finished a jar of peanut butter. It was a store brand creamy with honey. It was good, but again, I didn't notice the honey. Actually, I think I finished it Sun; "tonight" I just scraped the little bit off the bottom of the jar.
My stomach feels a bit off, so I wonder if I'll have to run of to the shitter like last week.
That's all for the food for now.
My actual meal will be something I haven't cooked before, but have had. I will be trying some new components though.
I'll be back in a little while.

Since I was making good time on Thu, I was able to visit the strip club pawn shop. There was a bunch of stuff there from before. Here is a list: Stagg Upright Electric Bass Marshall Woburn Pignose Hog 20 Crate(with similar specs to my Peavey) Peavey Century Peavey PA-400 Kramer Pacer(probably) Epi LP Jr Line 6 Uber Metal BOSS PW-2 Power Driver Digitech Element Samick LP Orange Crush 35 RT Ibanez SM7 Smash Box
There was a Schecter hh that might have been the one from last time.
There was a Squier, and 2 strat copies that could have been there before, but I didn't pay attention. One was a Drive, which I think is from Behringer. The other was, I think from a brand called Ion.
The GK Backline 250 head might have been there, but I don't have any clue about the cabinet.
There were 2 Casihas. At least one of them looked like it was there before, but I wasn't paying attention to them.
The Digitech PDS20/20 Multi Play was still there. Apparently, it is worth something since they wanted $22x for it. I don't know if that was the price previously.
There were a few new items there. First was one of those Marshall starter amps. It was some version of the MG10. There were 2 multifx units. One was a BOSS ME-80. The other was a Digitech RP7 Valve.
I was surprised all that stuff was still there. They had a big sale on 6/2 where stuff was up to 70% off. I was going to ask the lady that was previously at the tornado CA about it, but she wasn't there.
That's finally all for this week. It is now 8:17am. I would have been done sooner, but I was watching a woodchuck outside, then reading Yahoo comments about the "genius" baby who died from choking on a balloon.
I'm going to do some reading, then see if I can poop anything out. Then I'll get to my meal.
Bye.

Today has been one of those arrrg days. The damn NASCAR race ran past 10pm, so the news started at like 10:15pm. This means SNL started late. I was bothered by a bug dancing on the monitor. Also, my digestive system was acting up, so I took my 4th dump in 24hs(more on that later). I watched both episodes of Bob's Burgers. My home shoes have finally gotten too fucked up to wear, so I am using my "work" shoes. I went in my bedroom and took a nap. I got up before 2am so I could watch Bones, and here we are. About a month ago, I forgot to mention something. On a Sat after mowing my lawn, I had a bottle of Powerade. It was the Lemon Lime flavor. It was really good. Sat: The snack item was a bag of Sour Cream & Onion Lay's. They were good. I'll have to discuss these much later. My main item was bratwursts. I got them at ALDI. They were the "Italian sausage" variety. I fried them up in the cast iron pan. When they were done, I threw in some onion I cut up. I don't remember if I cut them up before or during the sausage frying. Usually, when you cut an onion, you put it on its side and cut it latitudinally. This will give you a slice of concentric rings. I wanted pieces of more uniform size. I set the onion upright, and cut straight down off-center. I think I only did this 2 more times, so the onion looked like a square with one bowed out side from the top. I think a pic might help expain: i48.tinypic.com/25qw2s3.jpgThat gave me pieces of a satisfactory nature. I wanted to try the brats with a jar of mustard I got at ALDI. It was the Deutsche Kuche brand. It was the Whole Grain variety. I also used regular mustard. I sort it out in a bit. And the buns are a story in themselves. After I got my Church's Chicken on Thu(see 2nd post above), I went to the grocery store. After that, I went to the Walmart Market to get my prescriptions. A girl I know since 1984 is one of the pharmacists there. I dressed up in full 80's mode, and wanted to show her. They told me she was out to lunch, and would be back in around 15 min. Since I was already making good time, I had previously decided I was going to visit the strip club pawn shop(see above post). I decided to go there then come back to WMM. After I was in the pawn shop, I got in my car and was going to take notes. I pulled the paper out of my pocket that also had my shopping list. I looked at it, and saw that I had forgotten to get bolillo rolls! I didn't feel like going back to the grocery store. I went back to WMM, and went to the bakery section to see what the had, and to kill some time. They had a 6-pack of brat buns for $1.98(the bolillos at the grocery store are 3/$1). WMM had bolillos, but they were small. I got the brat buns and saw my friend. As for the eating, I made a list of all the sausages: DK: It was good. DK, onion: It was good, but I didn't taste the onions. mustard: It was ok. mustard, onion: It was better than just the mustard. I was able to taste the onion. DK, mustard, onion: It was ok. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND we are not done! If you were paying attention, there were only 5 sausages, but 6 buns. Fri after work, I visited another grocery store and bought .37lb of turkey pastrami. When it was on the scale at the store, it looked like a decent amount. When I put it on the bun(the slices were a perfect sized fit), it was a lot of meat. I had cooked enough onion so I would have some for this sandwich, Since there was so much meat, I put the onion between slices of meat. I don't think I put any on top. I had also fried up some cabbage. I think I may have only put it on top of the meat, and not between. It was good, but I don't think I tasted the onions and/or cabbage. I have another jar of DK mustard of a different variety, and a package of brats in the freezer to have them with. Sun: I just had the other 2 "tubes" from the box of Daily Basics saltines. They tasted better than the week before. Mon: I had 2 snacks. I had a can of Vienna sausages off the shelf. They were good. The other item was a bag of tortilla chips from Food Should Taste Good. They were the Guacamole flavor. They were ok. For some reason, the taste didn't appeal to me. My meal was fried rice and veggies, using peas and carrots. I don't recall if I added mustard to the pan. I think this is day where I fucked up, if it wasn't last week. When I make this, I add my spices/condiments/waters to the pan with the veggies and let it cook for a while. I then add my rice and let it cook for about 5 min. I then add the other stuff again. This time, I forgot to add that stuff before putting in the rice. I realized my mistake, and put the stuff in the pan, just more than usual. It was good alone, and with my 3 items. Tue: The next day I was off work for the 4th of July. I wanted to do something special. I decided to have what I call a snack meal, since it involves a lot of snack foods. All the stuff was good, and I finished everything. I'll list it all: Pringles Sour Cream & Onion Nabisco Chicken in a Biskit Clancy's Movie Theater Butter microwave popcorn* TGI Friday's Onion Rings snack(13oz bag) 2x Lunch Mate Chicken store-brand 8oz muenster cheese store-brand 8oz mozzarella cheese * I put the popcorn in the microwave for maybe 104sec. I think there were only 2 un popped kernels. When the popcorn was done, I dumped it in my small casserole dish. I thought it would be easier to squirt canola oil on it(though I think I may not have needed it). While it was easy to squirt the oil on top, it was hard to mix it in. I got a late start, so I didn't eat until like 8am Wed. Wed: I was planning on having fried rice and veggies using the other half of the frozen peas and carrots. But I was still feeling stuffed. I felt like I still need to get some food in me. I had one of those Maruchan Instant Lunch cups. It was the Hot & Spicy chicken flavor. It was good. I couldn't really judge how spicy it was since I didn't let it sit around to get really cooled off. I can't recall when I took my next dump. It was either Thu morning, Thu after work, or Fri morning. Thu: Due to stress at work, and some other anxiety, I did quite a bit of snacking. I opened a box of ALDI shredded wheat, and had a bunch plain and some with canola oil. When I was preparing my meal, I also opened up a summer sausage. It was a Klement's Original variety. I snacked on other stuff. I had a bag of Good Sense Sesame Oat Bran Sticks. They were good. I got these at Menards when they had 5oz GS snacks for $.99. I was just concentrating on these, so I didn't pay attention to what other varieties they had. Later I had a bag of Clancy's funyuns. They were good. I also had a can of Vienna sausages out of the fridge. They were good. For my actual meal, I had a package of Bar-S hotdogs. They were the Signature Smokehouse variety. I had 4 on buns, and the other 4 "naked". They were all good. I made a list of the 4 I had on buns: Deutsche Kuche Deutsche Kuche, onion Deutsche Kuche, mustard Deutsche Kuche, mustard, onion For the 4 without buns, I had 2 with regular mustard and DK for the other 2. I had onions on all 4. There was even some onion left over. They were all good. The snack item was a bag of Doritos. It was the Poppin Jalapeno flavor. It was good. They weren't spicy. Fri: I had shredded wheat with canola oil a few times. I had some summer sausage when I was cooking my meal. For snacks, I had a bag of those Peas Please pea snacks. They were good. I also had a package of Lunch Mate Turkey. It was good. Later, when I was watching TMZ, I had a bag of Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper tortilla chips. They were good, and HOT. They caused my eyes to water and my nose my nose to get plugged up. When I drank some water to stop my tongue from burning, it seemed to make things worse. My meal was a package of Bar-S hotdogs. They were the turkey variety. I fried them in my regular pan. It seemed to take longer than usual. I had 4 on buns and 4 plain. After the hd were done, I threw in some onions I cut up. I thought I compensated for shrinkage, but I ended up only with onions for 2 of the buns. They were all good. I made a list of the ones on buns: Deutsche Kuche Deutsche Kuche, onion Deutsche Kuche, mustard Deutsche Kuche, mustard, onion For the ones without buns, I can't remember if I just used 1 kind of mustard for each hotdog, or just randomly switched. The snack item was a bag of store-brand kettle chips. They were the Sea Salt & Malt Vinegar flavor. I had them with a store-brand container of sour cream. The 16oz container of sc was on sale for $.69 with a coupon. I got the ad Tue, but didn't make up my mind to buy it until Thu night. I thought I had a bit of a dilemma. The bag of Lay's I had Sat was 9.5(or 10)oz. The rest of the bags were 8.5oz or less. On Sat, I of course didn't know I was going to buy sc. I had the bigger bag Sat in case I didn't like the brats. My "problem" was that I was concerned I would have a ton of sc left over. I just put a lot on each chip. There was still some left over, but not a lot. I use the rest as an experiment with one of my meals coming up this week. Also, I would normally have the potato chips during the 1st hotdog meal, then have the Doritos for the 2nd. Since I went to the store Fri, I had to switch that. Oh yeah, The chips were good alone, and with the sc. There was some other issue I wanted to bring up. I took a large dump Fri before work. When I got home, I went again. Sat morning before my meal, I went. After my meal, I slept for about 3.5hrs. I then woke up and did some reading. I then felt pressure in my lower abdomen. I again took a decent size dump. It caused heat on my anus, probably due to the Paqui chips. I then continued my reading. I then was going to get up and get changed to mow the lawn. I felt pressure in my butt area. I did some more poo and a fart. Later I was doing some farts. I then ended up with the sensation where I could feel that if I pushed to fart, poo would come out. This meant I had yet another trip to the bathroom. As I'm sitting here now Sun at 8:05am, it feels like I have another "in the chamber" as it were. If I do go again, it will be the 7th time within about a 50hr span, which is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much! Sat: I first had a bit of cereal and pb. Then I had the last Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. It was good. Then I had some chocolate walnuts and pecans, and some Robin Eggs. They were all good. I will get to my actual meal in a little while. I will have 4 things, but just review 1. It is now 8:27am; I think I will be having that 7th dump in a little while. Hopefully this week will be better. See you next time.

Well hello. It has been another shitty week; one where I want to emblazon a big FUCK on the top of this post, but it is too much of a pain in the ass to do so. I did a bunch of stress eating.
I forgot to mention last week that on 7/7, around 4:14am, the batteries in my tv remote finally died. I put new ones in. The old ones had been weakening for weeks. So much so that I ended up having to put the remote right up to the tv to use the mute and freeze frame functions(the vol and ch buttons wouldn't work).
Tonight I watched SNL. Instead of reading during the commercial breaks, I was watching train videos on YT. After SNL, I finished my reading. I then watched some more stuff on YT, then looked at Google Maps/Street View. Then I took a dump(more on that later). I had originally planned to watch SNL, then take a nap once my reading was done. I was going to sleep for an hour. I ended up going to bed at 1:18am. I wanted to watch Bones at 2, so I only slept for less than 40 min.
Speaking of SNL, it was the repeat of the Bill Hader/Arcade Fire episode. That was ironic because the original night it aired, I posted that I was going to stop eating shredded wheat, especially with canola oil, in order to be healthier. I have again taken that up. I forget what day I ran out. I bought a new box at ALDI on Mon, and opened it Tue. I finished it on Fri.
I've also been snacking on summer sausage.
Now for the regular reviews.
Sat: I only have 1 of the items to review. It was a can of herring from Deutsche Kuche. It was the Pineapple Curry flavor. It was good. When I first had it previously, I was skeptical about it since I generally have a "no meat and sweet" policy. This means I keep sugary/fruit stuff relegated to dessert duty. My main exception is lemon juice. I wonder if I didn't mind the pineapple since it is acidic. When I was looking up the pH of pineapple, I came across something interesting. There is a chemical in pineapple that acts as a meat tenderizer. Earlier this week, the skin inside my mouth behind my lower lip was peeling. Coincidence?
Sun: I had a box of Triscuit crackers. They were the Dill, Sea Salt & Olive Oil flavor. I'm thinking I was distracted by something, and maybe didn't have an assessment if they were good or not. I recall they may not taste like any of the things listed. I'm pretty sure I've had and reviewed these before(I'm not checking).
Mon: For a snack, I had a bag of Late July tortilla chips. They were the Sub Lime flavor. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies, using peas & carrots. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
Tue: I had 2 snacks. One was a can of Brookdale Vienna sausages. I think I had them in the fridge. They were good. The other snack was a bag of store-brand veggie chips from the h/n/o store. They were good; and not salty.
My meal was the same as Mon.
Wed: I don't recall having a snack.
My meal was ramen noodles and fried veggies. The ramen was 3 packages of Maruchan Beef flavor. The veggies were half a bag of peas & carrots, onion, and cabbage. I didn't add anything else to the pan. It was good alone and with my 3 items.
Thu morning I had digestive issues. I woke up and took a dump. Then right before I was going to get dressed, I pooed some more and did a small fart. But was I done? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I think my insides still didn't feel good when I left for work, but I thought everything would calm down. It didn't. I ended up having to take an emergency dump at work. I'm recalling I still didn't feel good. I can't remember if I took another dump after I got home. If this didn't happen on Thu, it was Tue.
Thu: I had 3 snacks. First was a Maruchan Instant Lunch cup. It was the Sriracha Chicken flavor it was good. Later I had a box of Chicken in a Biskt crackers. They were good. I also had a package of Lunch Mate chicken(copy of Buddig). It was good.
My meal was my veggie fajitas. I used half a bag of broccoli this time. For the tortillas, I did it like I mentioned on 6/8. I'll do a BRIEF recap: 1. plain 2. pan plain 3. pan rubbed oil 4. pan oil 5. pan oil U
For the other 2 things, the order was: 1. plain 2. hot sauce 3. pepper 4. both 5. plain
I also had another thing I added when eating. It was the rest of the sour cream that I had opened the previous Sat. I had enough for the first 4.
All of them were good.
On Fri morning, I woke up about 25 min before my alarm with stomach cramps. I went in and took a large dump. I then sat down and did some reading. I then felt sensation in my guts, so I went and pooed again. Then I got dressed and left for work. Thankfully, I didn't have to go at work. I didn't go when I got home. I felt as little odd in my butt/colon before and after my Fri meal, but I didn't have the feeling to take a dump. I didn't go until early Sat evening.
Fri: Even though My day was rather shitty, I only had one snack. It was a bag of Late July popcorn. It was the Sea Salt variety. It was good. It wasn't too salty. I dumped it into an empty Instant Lunch cup and ate it with chopsticks.
The previous day, I almost emptied the bottle of hot sauce, so I decided to open a new one. It is Trappey's Spicy Hot. I tried to look for reviews of it, and couldn't find any. It's not even listed on their website.
My meal was veggie fajitas using the other half of the frozen broccoli. I used the new hot sauce while cooking the veggies. I cooked the tortillas the same as Thu. I had the pepper and the hot sauce with the meal in the my "normal" order, where 2 and 3 above are switched. They were all good.
Sat: I finished the chocolate walnuts and pecans from the h/n/o store. They were good. I bought some chocolate covered peanuts from the same store on Fri. I had some and they were good. I also almost finished the bag of mini Robin Eggs. They were good.
I will be having my actual meal in a while. I will be having 5 items. One of them will either be a can of Pringles or Lay's Stax. Depending on what I choose, I might not do a review next week. I think I have sc&o and s&v for the Stax. I have s&v and I think 2 other flavors of Pringles.
I'll eat after I do some reading and looking at some non-train YT stuff. I also seem to have some more poo on deck(poop deck?).
It is now 7:25am. I got sidetracked looking at Google Maps, and trying to find reviews for the hot sauce.
Hopefully this coming week will be better. I'll see you in a week.

Another late start for me. I watched all of SNL since I was drowsy(and eventually fell asleep) when the episode first aired. Then I watched the first episode of Bob's Burgers since I didn't remember watching it until the very end. I then finished my reading. I was going to take a nap at 1am, but I had to try to find a psychic moth.
I finished my summer sausage before my Fri meal.
I bought a box of shredded wheat on Mon, opened it Tue, and finished it Fri, including the crumbs. I had them both plain and with canola oil. I forgot to mention last week that on Fri I ate the crumbs from that and last week's boxes with canola oil.
So now for the regular stuff.
Sat: Nothing to mention.
Sun: I had a bag of Fritos. They were the Spicy Jalapeno flavor. They were good. I didn't take any notes when I was eating them, but I seem to recall they did have a jalapeno flavor. I don't think there was any heat though.
Mon: For a snack, I had something I had bought at the Asian store quite a while back. It was a bag of lobster flavor chips. First, I have to get the technical stuff out of the way. I think these are actually made in the US by a company called Walong Marketing Inc from CA. There are also 3 other companies listed above it, which I think are distribution companies in their respective countries(Taiwan, Oz, Canada). Just for the fuck of it, the Taiwanese company is Son Fone Industrial Co Ltd.
The chips were good, but I don't know if they tasted like lobster, the main reason being I've never had lobster before. The bag was rather large, even though the weight was only 5.29oz. Each chip was very light, but not brittle. They were also really big. They would be good for putting stuff on, like sour cream, chip dip, spinach dip, or if you wanted to carry on the theme, crab salad. Whatever you use, it would be easy to put a fuckton on each chip, so you would need a lot.
My meal was just the fried rice and veggies using peas and carrots. It was good alone and with my 3 items.
Tue: I made my fried rice and veggies with peas and carrots. I didn't add any spices/condiments/waters to the pan. This is because I tried a new ingredient. After work, I went to ALDI and picked up an 8oz pkg of fresh mushrooms. I only used half. I cut them up in small pieces. When the rice/veg were close to being done, I turned the burner down to 3. I cleared out a spot in the center of the pan and squirted in some canola oil. I then put the mushrooms in the center and stirred them up. When they were cooked, I mixed them in with everything else. I had this both plain and with my 3 items. It was good. I don't think I tasted the mushrooms, except maybe once when I had some plain.
Wed: The meal was the same, except I added the spices/condiments/waters to the pan. It was good, though I didn't taste the mushrooms at all. Maybe this is because they cook down so much. Maybe I should try using a whole pkg instead.
Thu morning before work, I took a dump. I think I still felt a bit off. In my post 3w ago, I mentioned how my lunch naps sometimes cause me to have to take a dump. That happened to me Thu. Toward the end of the day, I was debating whether I should go, or wait until I got home, after doing my shopping. I decided to wait. I was able to finish my shopping, and had a big dump when I got home. The one negative of doing it was that my mind was a bit clouded, and the task at hand didn't have my full attention. At the first grocery store, I picked up 2 8oz bricks of cheese. When I got home, I saw that the packaging around one of the bricks wasn't vacuum sealed to it, meaning there was a hole/cut/tear in the packaging. I think causes the outside of the cheese to dry out. I'm not too worried because I have plans to use it in a few weeks
Thu: After I got my shopping done, I stopped at Church's Chicken to pick up a snack. They are having a deal where you get a biscuit, side, and the new Bourbon Black Pepper Smokehouse Chicken for $5. It is the first thing you see when you go to their site. The biscuit was good. The side I chose was this thing called corn nuggets(check their site), since I've never had them before. They were good, and had a corn taste. The only negative was that there weren't a lot of them. As for the chicken, it was good. The outer stuff had a kind of sweet, maybe with a bit of smoke, flavor. It kind of reminded me of bbq sauce. You get half a rotisserie-sized chicken.
As for the meal, I got stuff in the hot section of 3 different grocery stores. I won't review everything. I had 2 tamales; 1 beef, 1 chicken. I shared a packet of Taco Bell Diablo sauce between them. The tamales were good plain and with the sauce.
If I didn't have poo on my mind, I maybe would have thought to get some Gravy at Church's to have on some of my meal stuff.
On Fri, I went to a famous area store to pick up some stuff, including the main component of "tonight's" meal. First, they didn't have any of one of the items I was looking for. Then, the lady in the deli/hot food section wasn't good at using the cash register, and rang up one item twice, and had a bit of a problem removing the error. And that wasn't the end of things. I was in my car getting ready to go home. I was situating things around before I started driving. I caused something to go tumbling. To keep it from hitting the floor, I reached out to grab it. When I did this, my hand hit the heat/ac controls real hard; specifically, my middle finger, and I think, the right side temp lever: ssli.ebayimg.com/images/g/TOQAAOSw6X5aCj~m/s-l1600.jpg
Of course, I was sitting there in pain and shaking my hand. I then went to look at my finger. There was a flap of flesh that had opened up. I bit that piece off. Of course, there was a delayed reaction, and my finger started bleeding like a mofo. I started looking for something to cover the wound and stop the bleeding. The only thing I could find was 2 long strands of a shredded brown napkin/paper towel. I wrapped my finger with one, and it failed pretty quickly. I then put on the other one, and it held until I got home. I think I drove most of the way just using my left hand. When I got home, I had to put stuff away, so I took the piece off. My finger started bleeding again as I was putting stuff away. I then put a piece of tp on it. While I was waiting, I couldn't really do anything except watch tv and eat shredded wheat. After sitting around for a while, I figured the bleeding had stopped. I peeled the tp off. Again, there was a delayed action, and it resumed bleeding. I then put another piece of tp on it. I sat around watching more tv and eating more shredded wheat. I waited much longer. I had to do stuff, including washing my hands. I said "fuck it" and got up. I took my scissors and tried to cut around where the tp was stuck on by blood. I went and did stuff in the sink. Even though the tp came off, thankfully my finger didn't start bleeding again. Now I have a sunken light-colored skin-juice scab(as opposed to a brown raised crusty blood one) on my middle finger knuckle(the one right below the fingernail). The scab I have is one of those ones where there is 0% temptation to pick it.
Fri: I had 4 snacks. First, when I was watching a local current affairs show on PBS, I has some potato wedges that I got at the store. These are pieces of a potato that is cut lengthwise, and some kind of stuff is put on them(I don't know if pre/post cooking). They were good. I have 2 things to add though. For some reason, I felt like putting something on them. I was thinking a packet of LJS malt vinegar. I looked in my condiment container in the fridge, and didn't find any. Instead, I took out a ketchup packet. I used it and it was good. This is significant because I DO NOT like ketchup on my fries. I think 2 things that made me like it was that the potatoes weren't very warm, and I just used a tiny bit of ketchup on each bite. The other thing was that a menu there said 4 potato wedges were $1.42. When I was eating them. I saw there were 5, and the price was only $1.09. Either they don't go by the menu(maybe just by weight or something), or the lady fucked up. Either way, that was a positive for that day.
Later, I had a bag of Simply Nature pea snacks from ALDI. They were ok. They don't have much of a pea taste. I also had a can of Brookdale Vienna sausages. Since that was a spur of the moment decision, I had them off the shelf. They weren't as good as them cold.
Even later, I had a bag of the hot variety of Clancy's funyuns. They were good, but not as much as the regular kind. There was some spiciness, but I don't recall there being much heat.
My meal was the same as Mon.
I got a mega late start due to falling asleep. I think I got done eating after 12pm Sat, technically making Fri dinner a Sat lunch.
I took a dump before my meal. It was pretty good size. Between 630-7pm, I took another decent dump.
Sat: I've just snacked on some stuff. I finally finished the last few mini Robin Eggs. They were good. I also had more of the chocolate covered peanuts. They were good. I also had a bunch of Butterfinger eggs. They were ok. They don't really taste like Butterfinger bars. Finally I had some Carrot Cake flavor of Hershey's Kisses. They were good.
After I got done eating this stuff, my stomach felt a bit off. Now I feel like I got "one in the chamber", which I'll take care of before my meal.
Speaking of my meal, it's something I've had before. The only thing to mention next week is a minor difference.
It is now 738am. I still got some reading(and pooing) to do.
I'll be back next week.

Hello there mofos and fofos. There's been some shitty days this week, including today. I'll get to all that later. Now I'll dive in.
Actually, I have to mention something I forgot last week. For my Thu meal I had a beverage(instead of usual water). It was a bottle of V8. It was the Hint of Black Pepper Flavor. It was good. I didn't notice any pepper taste, but there was some heat.
Sat: I had a rotisserie chicken. This the main thing I went to the store for last Fri when I fucked my finger up. I heated it up in the microwave. I then cut it up. I then mixed in a can of turkey gravy that I heated up. The can was a store brand and was 10.5oz. I think it cost $.99. There was also a jar from the store brand that was maybe 12oz, and was like $1.59. I don't know why they charge 60% more for 20% more gravy, except for the glass jar. There was enough gravy. I had this chick/gr mix with Keebler Club crackers. It was good. I apparently ate too many of the cracker plain since I had some c/g mix left over that I just ate.
Sun: The only thing worth mentioning was that I finished a store-brand jar of honey peanut butter. It was good, even though I didn't tate the honey.
Mon: I had 2 snacks. First I had a package of Maruchan ramen noodles. They were the beef flavor and were good. Later I had a bag of tortilla chips from Food Should Taste Good. They were the Guacamole flavor. They were good.
My meal was my fried veggies and rice using half a bag of peas and carrots. It was good.
Tue: Same meal as Mon.
Wed: I opened up a new box of shredded wheat and had it both plain and with canola oil. I need to at least refrain from the canola oil; maybe just save it for the crumbs.
My meal was my fried rice and veggies with peas and carrots. For the cooking and during my meal, I debuted a new hot sauce. It was Jalapeno Pepper Sauce by Louisiana Supreme. Trying it by itself, it has a good amount of heat, but seemed to disappear when I would use it while eating.
Thu: Here is my first shitty day. I went to a grocery store where they were doing a "10 for 10" promotion. Part of this promotion was Oscar Mayer bologna and salami. I went to the area where they had this. They had plenty of bologna, but there was no salami. I asked a guy in the meat dept if there was any more in the back. I waited a long time, and he came back saying they were out. There were 2 good things though. They had 2.5oz packages of Hormel peperoni as part of the 10/10 deal. When I went to the Hormel display, I saw that that specific store had 5.5oz packages of Peperoni Bites for $1.29. I picked up 2 of those instead. The other item I'll mention below.
Since I was down to my last onion, I went to the nearby ALDI to pick up a bag. I was at other ones Mon an Tue, and saw that onions had jumped in price. The 3lb bag of yellow onions was $1.99(from $1.49). What I thought was a 3lb bag of white onions was $1.79. I grabbed a bag of white onions. I thought it was a little small to be 3lbs. When I was almost at my car, I looked at the label. It was only 2lbs. To add insult to injury, when I visited the h/n/o store the next day, they had yellow onions for 2lb/$1.
After I got home and cooked my rice(and maybe took a dump), I was going to lie down and hopefully take a nap until 6:30pm. Then I saw a fly buzzing around. After killing the fly and doing some precautionary cleaning, it was 6:15, so no time to attempt to nap. Maybe the fly thing happened Fri, but I can't remember.
As for snacks, the first thing I had was a wrap from the grocery store. It was Chicken Caesar, and it was good. The ad said wraps were $3.99. This store has them for 3.49, but they might be smaller than the ones at other stores in the chain. If I go to another one maybe Thu, I'll try to remember to look.
Later, I had a package of Lunch Mate Turkey(ALDI version of Buddig). It was good. I also had a bag of Clancy's funyuns. They were good.
My meal was fried rice and veggies with the p&c. It was good alone and with my 3 items.
Fri: This shitty day affected my main "meal". I kind of had something to deal with at the end of work, which kind of put me in an anxious mood. Like I said above, maybe this was the day with the fly that kept me from lying down.
At night, I was going to the reading I do every week. I was going to read for a while, then take a nap. Then I would get up and finish, and also watch the 3:30am replay of TMZ. Instead, I fell asleep. I woke up between 2:30 and 3am. I figured I would read until TMZ was on. Instead, I fell asleep again, and woke up at 4:08am. I can't recall if I nodded off again. I did go to bed and maybe fell asleep for a while between 5:20am and 6. I finally got my reading done, but it was I think after Noon. It was so late, I didn't feel like cooking. I just snacked on 2 things. I'll just mention them below.
I had some things to snack on. After work, I stopped at Wendy's. I remember them advertising a spicy chicken sandwich for $1. I asked the lady if they still had those and she said no. She said I could get a regular chicken sandwich($1.29), and they could substitute Sriracha for the mayo. I said no because Sriracha is a different flavor than the sauce they used. When she gave me the bag, I think she asked if I wanted a packet/peel-top container of hot sauce(Sriracha?). I said no. I also remembered that I had a container of Wendy's S'Awesome sauce in the fridge from when they had it with the chicken tenders. When I got home, I put the bag in the microwave to try to keep it warm. I also put the sauce in there from out of the fridge. I also got a large order of fries, which were good. As for the sandwich. I took 2 bites and it was good. I then put the sauce on. It wasn't spicy. I don't really recall tasting the sauce much. The sandwich was still good.
Later, I had a bag of TGI Fridays Mozzarella Sticks. They were good. Usually I don't mention them, but I did this time just for the sake of completeness.
I was intending to have my last bag of Paqui Haunted Ghost Pepper tortilla chips while watching TMZ, but I fell asleep before it was on. I had the bag at 6am. They were good. The heat was delayed, in that It didn't get bad until I ate a bunch. My lips and tongue were burning. My eyes watered a bit. My nose stuffed up and started running. At the factory, they make round tortillas and cut them in pie-piece "triangles". Instead, they should make large rectangles, and cut them into smaller rectangles. This would make it easier to eat them without getting the coating on your lips.
For my "meal", I had 2 things. I had a bag of Lay's Kettle Cooked chips. They were the Sea Salt & Vinegar. They were good. I also had a can of Brookdale Vienna sausages. They were good. By the time I decided on them, it was too late to put them in the fridge.
If that wasn't enough....My colon has decided it wants to empty out in the mornings now. I did that Fri morning. I also did it Sat morning between 11 and 11:30am. After I was eating, I was reading some more about 1pm, then dozed off. I woke up around 1:30pm with stomach pains. I had to go in and take a dump. I made my butthole hot, due to the Paqui chips. I then fell back asleep. I woke up at 4:45pm, and started reading. Around 5:15pm, I had to go back. My butthole was hot again.
Sat: After the messed up schedule and pooping, there was more. Around 6:30pm, I saw a fly buzzing around. Thankfully, I took it out relatively quickly.
According to zap2it, the original PBS channel was going to play an episode of The Wrong Mans. I was hoping they were going to play the first half of the last episode. They were supposed to do it 2 weeks ago, but they instead skipped to the 2nd half. I was hoping they would rectify the error last week and show it, but they showed the 2nd half again. Instead, they played the first episode of Keeping Up Appearances. I have no problem with that and actually enjoy it, but I've seen them all a bunch of times, and I wanted to see TWM instead. Then, the show Mum was supposed to be on. Instead, there was the first episode of a show called Detectorists. This show is a prime example of very dry British humor. I watched it.
I watched SNL(Amy Schumer), since I dozed off near the end when it was originally on. I then did some reading, then watched the 2nd episode of Bob's Burgers. I then finished my reading and then took a nap before 1:30 am. I got up for 2 and started typing this while watching Bones.
First I snacked on some gummy bears from Haribo. They were ok. While the different colors had different flavors, I couldn't identify them. I don't know how they taste compared to other brands. These were the other things I picked up on Thu. There was a shopping cart in the aisle with a sign saying $1 each. I got this bag, and another variety I'll review when I open them. I probably wouldn't have got them, except that they've been advertised on tv, and I wanted to see how they tasted.
Later, I finished the chocolate peanuts from the h/n/o store. They were good. I also almost finished the Butterfinger eggs. They were good. I also ate a bunch of the carrot cake Hershey's Kisses. They were good.
That's all the food.
I will have an actual meal a bit later. I will have at least 1 item to review.
It is now 645am. I'm going to take a nap after I post this. I was planning to already, but just a little while ago, I've been blanking out for a second a few times. Hopefully I emptied out on Sat so I don't have to take a dump soon.
See you later!

I was going to start earlier, but I wanted to watch SNL because I noted on here that it was glitchy the first time it aired, and I don't recall if they repeated it before tonight. I was also rattled by finding a large ant on my desk, which I did kill. I then finished my reading during a commercial break during Bob's Burgers. I just sat there and watched the rest, and looked up some stuff online. I'm going to take a nap in a bit, then resume typing during Bones.
Here's the food.
I forget what day I opened the box of shredded wheat, or if there were still some from last week. I had them plain and with canola oil. On Fri, I had some crumbs with canola oil.
Sat: I had 3 things, but will only review 2. The snack item was a box of Town House Foccacia Tuscan Cheese crackers. They were good. The main item was 2 cans of Chicken Tortilla soup by Progresso. It was good. I don't know what the "tortilla" thing is all about. The soup was spicy, but I don't think in a heat way.
Sun: I finished a box of cereal. It was Cocoa Pebbles. It was good. I also opened another bag of cereal, and a jar of pb. I'll review those once finished.
Mon: I had 2 snacks, but will only review 1. That is a box of Naan Crisps by Specially Selected from ALDI. They were the Garlic & Ghee flavor. They were good. I don't know what ghee tastes like, so I can't comment on that, but I don't seem to recall a garlic taste.
The meal was fried rice and veggies, using peas and carrots. It was good alone and with my 3 items.
It doesn't look like I explained why I went from using broccoli to peas & carrots. The one major grocery chain has a generic brand under its own name. The other chain has 2 generic brands that are also sold at other stores. I'm lazy, and describe them as store-brand also. For some reason, Birds Eye frozen veggies are on sale a lot. The problem is, their broccoli comes in large pieces. When I microwave it, I cook it for half the time, then I have to cut the pieces up. The one generic brand does have chopped broccoli, BUT, for some reason, it's barely on sale anymore. The grocery chain with its own generic brand has chopped broccoli, but they are fucks, and don't include it as part of their frozen veggie sales. The peas & carrots combo is the only variety of theirs on sale that I want.
Tue: I had 2 snacks, but will only review 2. First was a package of Maruchan Beef ramen. It was good. The other item was a package of generic bacon bits. They were good. I was only intending to eat a little bit, but I ended up eating the whole bag.
My meal was the same as Mon.
Wed: My snack was a bag of popchips. They were the Sour Cream & Onion flavor, and were good.
My meal was hot dogs. They were The Bar-S Bun Length Franks. I had 4 on buns, and 4 without. I had them all with mustard. I cut up some onion. I had enough for all 4 buns. I did have some left for some of the others. They were all good.
My snack item was a bag of store-brand potato chips. They were the Premium Chipotle Ranch. They were good. I think the Premium title refers to them being cut like Ruffles(or should I say Ruffle$$$).
Thu: For a snack, I went to a store deli section and bought some dolmades. I usually wouldn't mention them, but this time, they were SO FUCKING GOOD! It made me wish I was having a meal of deli items and had bought shitload of them.
My meal was a pizza from Little Caesars. It was the 5 Meat Feast. Even though LC is the best tasting room temp pizza, since I live alone, I wanted to warm the pizza up. I asked the workers if they had any recommendation, and they said no. I preheated my oven to 200F. I put the pizza(still in the box) in there for 10 min. The box was hot on the bottom. I forget how warm the pizza was, but it seemed to cool off quickly. Nevertheless, it was good.
Fri: I had 3 snacks. First was a bag of Peas Please pea snacks. They were the Southwestern Spice flavor. They were good. Next was a package of Lunch Mate turkey. It was good. Finally was a bag of Jolly Time microwave popcorn. Like I said in June, I think it is the Blast O Butter flavor. It was good. I ate in a Maruchan Instant Lunch cup with chopsticks. I set the microwave for maybe 1:44. I stopped it with 9 sec left because it was popping too infrequently. There were 10 unpopped kernels, and 2 that slightly popped.
My meal was Bar-S turkey hot dogs(or is it hotdogs). I fried them. I also fried some cabbage and onion. I had 4 on buns and 4 without. I had them all with mustard. There was enough onion and cabbage for the buns, but there was barely any for the last one. Oh yeah, I also fried the buns. I tried different methods, so I'll list them in the order I ate them: Fried the inside parts with basically no oil. Fried the inside parts after rubbing with canola oil, and adding oil in the pan. Fried the outside top and bottom with canola oil, both rubbed and added. Fried the inside parts and outside top and bottom with canola oil, both rubbed and added. The ones that I fried on the outside were crispy. I don't know what I'll do next time I fry the hot dogs. It took quite a while to do the buns, and it seemed to use a lot of oil. All the hot dogs were good.
Sat: First I finished the Haribo gummy bears. They were ok. I only bought them because they were on sale for $1. But when I went to ALDI, I saw they were $.95. I finished the last 3 Butterfinger eggs. They were good. I also finished the Carrot Cake Kisses, even though there were a lot left. They were good.
That's all for the food. I will have my meal later. It won't take long to cook. The only hard part may be getting my food out of the freezer.
Even though I took a nap earlier(in the middle of the naan crisps paragraph), I think I'll take another one. I think I'll also have to take a dump before I eat.
I don't know when I'll make my next post(dun dun dun). I will also doing 1 or more non-food posts(dun dun dun).
It's now 6:22am. See you whenever.

Hello Dodgers and Dodgerettes! No shredded wheat this week. Any extra stuff will be mentioned on its respective days.
Sat: My meal was 6 Patio burritos. They were the Chicken variety. They were good. I cooked them in the microwave. For some reason, I think they took longer to cook than before. I haven't made these at my home before; the last time I had them was at my parents old house.
Sun: I had a bag of Goldfish Pretzels. They were good.
Mon: this was the start of my time off work. I bought 3 things while I was driving around. I'll just review the item I ate at home. In the KC area, the main convenience store chain is QuikTrip. On the advertising panels on and/or near the gas pumps, they were advertising something called Buffalo Chicken Bites for $.99 each. I looked around in the hot food area, and couldn't find them. I asked a worker about them, and she told me they were on the rollers behind me. I saw something somewhere about them having cheese. I asked that worker what kind it was, and she said it was pepperjack. I bought 3 of them. They were still very warm when I had them. They were very good. They had some heat to them, but I don't know if it would decrease if the physical temperature decreased. I'm going to have to get some more of these.
Later I had another snack. It was a bag of Fresh Gourmet Crispy Onions. They were the Lightly Salted variety. They were good. I think these are meant to be put on stuff, not eaten right out of the bag, but whatever.
My meal was a Jack's pizza. I was a Supreme one. It was good.
Tue: I was going to get something at ALDI(and a gallon of milk also), but I didn't know they closed at 8pm(thought 9). I instead got things at 3 different fast food places. At Hardees, I got a 1/3lb Frisco Thickburger. It was good. I had a coupon, so I didn't pay full price. I think it was $5.18, but I think it was only $2.99 with the coupon. At Burger King, I got 2 of the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich because they're doing the 2 for $6 promotion. They were good. There was some heat, but I recall it occurring on the back of my tongue. At McDonalds, I got a Bacon Smokehouse Burger. It was good. I was able to taste the bacon. I also 2 large orders of fries. They were good.
Wed: First I'll mention the side dish. It was (the second)half of a bag of egg noodles. After I cooked them and drained off the water, I stirred in some canola oil and black pepper. They were good.
The main item was pork chops. I saw in an ad that they were on sale for 1.88lb. I wanted to get a pack of 4. When I got to the store, I saw they were thick-cut. I got a package of 2 that weighed something like 2.04lb. I cut up 2 regular size onions and half a smaller one. I put some canola oil in the pan. I then put some of the onion in. When they started turning gray, I took some of them out. I then fried the rest of them until they were blackened. I took them out of the pan. I then put in the pork chops. I then fried them until they looked done on the outside. Since they were thick, I also fried them on their sides. When that was done, I put all of the onions in. I then added water.
When I asked my mom how much water to put in, she just said don't add too much. She didn't specify what that meant, like halfway up the chops or something else. I took this to mean not to add water way above the chops. I added just enough that the chops were fully submerged. I later told my mom, and she said "I told you not to add too much". I replied that she did not tell me what that meant.
I then waited until the water started boiling. I then turned it down to simmer, and put the lid on. The microwave above the stove has a timer function, so I set it to 90min. When there was about 17min left, I took the lid off because there was still a bunch of water. I think I also turned the burner up a bit. After the full 90min had elapsed, I turned the burner up even higher in hopes of boiling off more water. Eventually, I got to a point where I was like "Fuck it, I want to eat!" and took the pan off the burner.
I'll actually do the review tomorrow. I'm tired, and I still have something to do before I eat, and my meal needs to go in the oven. Bye!

I'm back! I would have started much earlier, but I was watching way too many train vids.
I left off with the pork chops with onions in water.
They were fully cooked and tender. They were good. I was feeling stuffed when I finished the pork chops and noodles. There was still a bunch of water and onions left. I decided to finish it. My stomach was hurting really bad. It felt like I had gas, but couldn't burp. I ended up sitting on the couch for a long time, waiting for my stomach to hurt less. I might have been able to burp a little bit. I was then able to go to bed, but I laid on my back.
After I woke up and got up, I was able to burp some. I figured with being stuffed, and all the water and onions, My butthole would be a geyser. Somehow, I didn't have to take a dump until around noon on Fri.
Thu: This was a dessert meal. I wanted to have one of those cheesecake samplers, or whatever they're called. This is where you have a quartered "cake", where each quarter is a different kind. I went to ALDI, where I saw them before. They didn't have any. I should have checked when I was there Mon. I then went to WM to see what they had. The ones there were 12 pieces, with each piece being a different variety. I probably paid way more than I would have for the ALDI one. The pieces were: New York Style Chocolate Cherry Chocolate Marble Strawberry Swirl Chocolate Chip Raspberry White Chocolate Fudge Brownie Blueberry Swirl Vanilla Bean Caramel Turtle Chocolate Raspberry Swirl I ate the whole thing. A few pieces didn't seem to have much of a taste, but that could have just been me. The last piece was what I think was the chocolate, but I didn't think it tasted good, even though I love chocolate stuff.
I also had some stuff called cookies and cream. It was good. I didn't finish it all. I finished it the next morning. In my former town, where my parents still live, The one major grocery chain has 2 stores. I will not visit the closer one any more(I not going to explain). That one had the c&c stuff all the time. I called the other store Tue, and they said they make it often. I called on Thu, and they said they didn't have any. I called the other grocery chain store, which it super close to my parents house. They had it, so that's where I got it. I think they charge way more than the other grocery chain.
Fri: I'll do this in reverse order, to make things a bit easier.
I cooked a jar of store-brand beef gravy. It was good; of course I used it with the other stuff.
I cooked a box of generic-brand stuffing. It was good. This is what I put most of the gravy on. That was good also. The use by date on the box was in 2017.
Now for the main meat item. I bought 3 lamb shoulder chops from the h/n/o store since they were on sale. I think they were all between .5 and .7 lb. I took a smaller casserole dish and rubbed some canola oil inside. I took each chop and put a bit of salt and pepper on each side. I put a slice of onion on each chop. I also put some cut up onion in the dish. I put it in the oven for 30min set at 375F. I found that time/temp on a cooking site. While that was cooking, I cut some onion and fried it in the pan until it started to change color. At the end of 30 min, it was browned on the outside, so I took it out.
It was very hard to cut. Lamb can be pink on the inside, which mine was. It didn't seem undercooked, but maybe I should have cooked it longer. It was also very greasy
When I took it out of the oven, I thought it didn't smell good. Not like it was going bad or anything. As for the taste, I didn't like it. It had some kind of strong quality that I thought was kind of nasty. I tried just about everything available: onions in the dish fried onions beef gravy ranch dressing generic cool whip ketchup mustard parmesan cheese salt pepper paprika garlic powder chili powder Italian seasoning Mrs. Dash I seem to recall the mustard being good, but that is probably because it masks the actual taste. For the last chop, I cut it up, the mixed in the rest of the onions, and the liquid from the dish. That still tasted like crap. I ended up mixing some chili powder and parmesan cheese on my plate and putting the pieces in that. That made the somewhat tolerable.
It seems that I always hear of recipes for cooking lamb where they always cover it in stuff. I think that is more to mask the bad taste. Maybe I should have poked holes in them with a fork the day before, and rubbed them with spices/condiments. I'm not going to buy these again to try this out.
Sat: I went to ALDI and bought one of those Mama Cozzi's Pizza Kitchen take and bake 16in pizzas that have been reduced to $5.99. I got the Supreme because it was around 3lb; the other ones were under 2lb. It was really good. The only negative is that it spans, from front to back, the whole oven rack; but I don't think the crust in the back of the oven got burned.
I'll make my meal later. It's something I've had many times before, but never totally cooked myself.
I'd like to say that is all, but I'll be posting more in a little while.

On Mon, I went to get my car's oil changed, looked over, and inspected. I then went to the license bureau to get my registration stickers. I was waiting around there a long time. I then went to a bunch of thrift stores, and a pawn shop.
At the Salvation Army near the lb, I didn't see anything. I did cut a big fart, since I was holding them in at the lb.
The next stop was a pawn shop.
At the gun counter was a Stoeger 12ga coach gun for $329.
I then went over to the musical instrument area. There was an Epi LP Special II with 2hb and 2 knobs. There was an Epi SG bass with 1 large neck pu. There was a Viper by BGuitars guitar. There was a Fuel by First Act guitar. I picked it up, and it was light as fuck. There was also a Jackson 2h, 24 fret guitar with a whammy bar. I played it unplugged a bit. It had a faded green finish, kind of like this one: www.chorder.com/images/reviews-articles/3812-desktop.jpg but the edges were a lot darker. There was also a Keith Urban LP-ish guitar and small practice amp. I wouldn't be surprised if they came in as a set. For other amps, there was a Peavey amp that appeared to be a modeler, which would make it a Vypyr. There was an Ampeg Rocket Bass. There was a tiny Blackstar amp. I can't tell what kind it was, since I recall it being the size of the Fly, but I could've sworn the controls were like an ID:Core. For pedals, there was a DOD Grunge. There was also a TC Electronic Afterglow chorus.
Next was the Goodwill in the shopping center next door. There were 2 console pianos. I played on the one that didn't have filthy keys. There was also a Casio CTK-50.
Then was the Red Racks next door. Behind the counter was some acoustic guitar, but I didn't ask to look at it. There was a Thomas Play Mate Organ. Just outside of the customer area, there was an upright piano.
At the Independence Salvation Army, I went to the counter area. There was a Maestro guitar bag. I didn't ask if there was a guitar in it. Of course that would suck if there was one in there that wasn't a piece of shit, but priced like one. There was also an Oscar Schmidt autoharp. I was able to reach it, so I played with it a bit. I thought it sounded like you could play in the intro of Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles if you knew what you were doing.
Next was a Red Racks. The only thing there was a kid sized bongo drum pair. I was trying to play the intro to Sympathy For The Devil by The Rolling Stones on it.
I then went to the thrift stores in my former town. The only thing there was a small flute for $20 that needed work. Some of the holes looked like there was crap in them.
On Fri, I went to the Salvation Army thrift shop at the KC hq. I first went to the as-is area, but the doors were locked. I went over to the main area. There was a Yamaha tenor drums practice pad set like this one: dtpmhvbsmffsz.cloudfront.net/posts/2017/05/30/592e414f2ba50a0f8202c86b/m_592e414f2ba50a0f8202c86c.jpg
I then asked the workers behind the counter if there were any pianos or organs in the as-is area. The lady described what appeared to be an upright piano.
That's all. I will be starting my dinner soon.

I'm posting earlier today. I don't know how much I'll do since I want to do some stuff at my house before I go out. I should be finishing up at my parents house.
Since I didn't go to St Louis, I had to think of 2 more meals to have.
Sun: I made something for the first time: hamburgers. But these aren't your regular hamburgers. I got a 2.25lb package of hamburger meat at ALDI. I cut that in half, and put one half in the fridge for another meal. I cut the other piece into 4, and formed those pieces into burgers. I heated some canola oil in a pan for a bit. I then put the burgers in and cooked them. When they were done, I put them on the bun bottoms. I took an 8oz block of mozzarella cheese and cut it in half. I put one half in the fridge. I sliced the other piece into 8 pieces. I put 2 pieces on each burger. But, I'm not done yet. I cut up the rest of the onion I had and put a tiny bit in the fridge. I fried the onion until it was blackened. While the onion was frying, I cracked 4 eggs into a dish. I put some milk in. I also put some spices in. I scrambled this all up. I then dumped this in the pan with the onions. When this was done cooking, I used a spatula to cut the mass in 4, and put a piece on each burger. I then put some parmesan cheese on the burgers before I put the bun tops on. They were good. I've done this before with leftover hamburger patties from meals my parents cooked, but this was my first time actually cooking the burgers and having a full meal of them.
I also had some fries. I opened a bag of generic crinkle-cut ones and put some on a cookie sheet. I wanted to make half the bag, but I found out later it was less than that. I cooked them in the oven for at least 15 min. They were good.
Mon: There is a chicken restaurant near my parents house called Raising Cain's. I went in there beforehand to see what they had. They had 1 kid's combo, and 3 adult combos. I asked if I could get them without a drink(I had milk at parents house), and if they took any off the price. They said yes to both. The menu also had single chicken strips, fries, and Texas toast. I asked if they sold sandwiches by themselves, and they said yes.
I came back later and got my food. I got 2 sandwiches by themselves, a sandwich combo(sandwich, fries), and a 3-strip combo(chicken strips, fries, Texas toast, dipping sauce).
The dipping sauce had a good taste, but I don't recall it having any recognizable flavors. I also don't think it was spicy. I tried it on all items. The fries were good, both alone and with the sauce. The Texas toast was good, both alone and with the sauce. It was soft, but I don't know if it is supposed to be crispy. I kept it in the container with the other stuff in the combo, which were probably giving off steam. The chicken strips were good, both alone and with the sauce. The sandwiches were good, both alone and with the sauce. There was a negative though. The sandwiches are made with chicken strips, not a single piece. When I would eat the sandwiches, the strips would try to slide out. There is an easy fix. When I've gotten some sandwiches at other places, inside the box, they've been partially wrapped in what I'll call burger paper, or in something akin to a fry bag. These sandwiches definitely need that setup.
I was intending to get hot food at Walmart on Tues, but I didn't. I then tried Wed, but no. I was able to on Thu. I'll tell the whole story for Thu.
Tue: I got stuff at the grocery store right near my parents house. The food was good, but I'm not going to review it. I would have gotten home from the store earlier, but I met somebody I hadn't seen in years, and talked with them for a long time.
Wed: After my failed WM trip, I was pissed and wanted to get something to snack on. I went to a QuikTrip, and got 3 more of those Buffalo Chicken Bites. They were good.
Since I only remembered to talk about Sun after looking at this thread, it took me a lot longer to type up what I have here. I'll post the Wed meal, and the Thu/Fri ones later. See you later.
