Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I braved the 7 am que to possibly get some toilet paper. Down to 5 rolls. Now 5 could last a bit, but with the craziness out there I figured I'd give it a shot. I have a good supply of wet wipes so I'd be fine for a while. That, and even if I didn't get any TP, I needed some cocoa powder to bake a cake I wanted to try. Since we're stuck indoors, might as well practice some cooking and baking.




When I got in I went straight to the paper isle. Got one of the last two of the 12 packs of TP, and one of the last two-packs of paper towels. Wasn't much left of any variety. There were a fair number of eggs left but that wont last. I took one 18 pack, but the woman in line in front of me had three 18 packs. It's possibly she was shopping for someone else, I suppose.



This was the only comic relief of the adventure. Blurry shot, sorry. In a locked case.




TIDE PODS


Lot of people wearing masks and nitrile gloves. Even saw an old man wearing a two filter respirator mask, and full face shield, as though he was going to do some grinding. Bummed, no picture of him. And me wearing shorts and a hooding. No other PPE for me. Got to the store and realized I left my shopping list on the kitchen counter. Fuq me. 20 items on the list and only forgot one thing.

I'm set for another month. Hope this shit ends soon.

Hope this guy is correct.

I believe we only had 8 rolls of TP when this whole ordeal started. We've had a bidet in our master bathroom for a few years now, so we're probably down to ~7 rolls now. Sure, I've looked when I'm at the store (just checked our local market this morning when I was there for a few small things), but so far no TP in stock anywhere.
Not too worried though; Shit->Shower->Shave is still an option if needed.
Stay strong!

 

Finally had good news today. Got the trucks last night at local market. There the employees are managing the goods and limiting them for those who want to hoard. Meat, eggs, tp, milk, coffee, and canned goods all regulated by staff. Kinda nice.

 

One of my dads favorite lines, The ol' Triple S.

Shit, shower and shave.

 

Practicing your baking, you say?

The Monday before the shelter-in-place order when we were at Safeway, saw a Columbine lookin MFer wearing an old army surplus rubber gas mask and a black full-length leather trench coat.

 

11 amish in Milpitas:
Briefly drove alongside a nicely built white second gen with full armor, SCS wheels, and GFC camper. Any of you gentlemen?

 

amish in a gfc, did it look like this?

 

And there were 11 of them as well. Limobuggy?

Put the Tundra to good use this morning hauling donated perishables from grocery store to the local food pantry for distribution to those in need. Hoping they'll have these runs daily. Demand is growing. Gives me something to do.

 

For those running air lockers - Where is your compressor mounted?

 

I’ve been cooking more lately too with this quarantine shit.

Baked potatoes filled with cheese and pulled pork and a side of vegetables from last night:

 

That looks damn good.

We cook every night - even before the quarantine shit. Trying to count the amount of times we've gone out to eat since moving and it's definitely under 10. Baking however, not a strong suit but it's improving with this.

 

Damn! Under 10??! That's awesome! I need to start cooking more in general. Being quarantined I think helped jump-start that for me.

 

When my ladyfriend and her siblings were old enough for their mom not to be a stay at home mom anymore, she decided to become a chef at a hunting lodge. Then her dad started a farm and garden since he was bored (he's a surgeon, not sure how that can be a boring job but yeah). That, plus the fact that they're very Italian means they can cook really really well. Their mom pretty much taught them a ton of culinary things and she refuses to go out for food which she can make at home. I used to hate it because I would rather go out and enjoy actually eating out, but now I don't mind it. We make most things from scratch and 9 out of 10 times, it's super fucking good. And if it sucks, we just know what not to do for next time.

Here’s some ravioli we made not too long ago. Sausage and cheese stuffing. We then used the remaining stuffing for a calzone a few nights later. Managing all the ingredients to be used over and over again I was a hard one for me but I’ve gotten better at it.

 

Nice. I like baking. Going to try a new recipe.

I'll probably only make it once, even if its good. Sooooooooooo much sweetness.

 

you're almost as bad as @Sharkfrog him posting his bread and now this

 

Thanks for the reminder! I've got the stuff for two loaves and keep forgetting to mix it up in the afternoon so its ready for baking in the morning.
