Nothing much going on here. There were a couple of stories in my news feed that caught my eye. Are you a sriracha sauce fan, specifically Huy Fong Sriracha Sauce? Bottles of that sauce are selling for nearly $70 plus shipping on eBay for a 28 oz. bottle and a 2-pack on Amazon for $124. Whether anyone will pay those exorbitant prices remains to be seen; but a shortage of chili peppers due to a drought in California, New Mexico and Mexico have put a strain on production. A 17 oz. bottle typically sells for $5. Malaria cases have shown up in the United States for the first time in 20 years. Cases have been reported in Texas and Florida. Any news catch your eye? Breakfast - Belvita Oat Biscuits Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry juice and pears Dessert/Snack - Lemon muffin and decaf coffee Dinner - Chili What did you eat yesterday?

@LindaOHio I imagine that I would pay more of shipping and Customs duty than what I can make.

Nothing happening here. Pretty and I are staying in the house with the air on since it was and is supposed to be over 100F yesterday and today. I ate a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit for breakfast, a chicken and cheese sandwich for lunch and scrambled eggs with veggies in them for supper last night. I hope the air is getting better around your house and you received more rain yesterday.

I heard about malaria cases. Shark attacks have caught my attention. They're sending up drones to watch for them. Yesterday was a light eating day. Breakfast: Banana, eggs, and potato. Lunch: Veggie Pasta with tuna, shredded cheese, Alfredo sauce, and blackberries for dessert. No supper, but raspberries for a snack.

Yes, the news from SCOTUS caught my eye. I was born without a corpus callosum. That is our brain's main communications center. I am highly functioning, but the condition of others with complete agenesis of the corpus callosum is more profound., so they are more severely affected. Still, brain imagery shows that I clinically have the brainwaves of a severely mentally retarded child, even though I functionally do not. SCOTUS's ruling regarding the Christian website designer makes it clear to all Americans that I am allowed to say "retarded" and others are allowed to not like that I chose to use that correct medical term for that clinical finding on my brain scans, but they are not allowed to tell me I cannot say it because it makes them feel butthurt. I forget what I had for breakfast, but I had a taffy at some point today, and I think I may have coussous, rice, or quinoa for dinner. No. Wait. I take that back. I had leftover dinner rolls for breakfast. My drinks have been water and coffee.

On our local news they celebrated the 101st birthday of a WW2 veteran, and I thought that was cool. Yesterday, I had salmon, more carrots, popcorn, a salad with almonds and cranberries, and shrimp tikka masala.

@LindaOHio And it’s sad, isn’t it. I want them to be remembered, and I am always glad to see when those left are recognized.

We do not use that sauce, we like things mild. Last night I pan seared our sirloin steaks and then finished them in the air fryer oven as the baked potatoes finished baking. We had a mixed vegetable to go along with it as well as mushroom quarters fried.

That sounds like highway robbery for that siraccha sauce but I guess if you're desperate you'll pay. I didn't know there was a shortage of chili peppers. An increase of Malaria? that sounds scary Last night we had spaghetti with fried eggplant cutlets

I wonder how it started up again. Mosquitoes hitching a ride to the States? Someone with malaria here got bitten by a mosquito??

Wow, those prices for sriracha sauce are crazy! The shortage is causing quite a stir. Let's hope the chili pepper situation improves soon. Malaria cases in the US after 20 years is concerning. Stay vigilant and take necessary precautions! As for yesterday's meals, I had Belvita Oat Biscuits for breakfast, a yummy Meals on Wheels Salisbury steak for lunch, a lemon muffin with decaf coffee as a snack, and some delicious chili for dinner.
