Imagination is needed when we buy online.

Hello dear friends.
I haven´t been around because I have had many things to do. I went to the eye doctor and came out with two prescriptions. One for lenses (one pair for reading and another for watching TV) and a prescription for 2 eye drops that only King Charles of England has enough money to buy. As the drops were for allergy, I decided that I´d use my father´s handkerchiefs when tears started to fall instead of buying said drops.
After I came back from the doctor I ordered groceries. And it seems that as now we are in summer, the supermarket has hired new shoppers that know nothing. Among the food that I did not order were some giant mushrooms instead of the normal ones I wanted. And they also changed the cheese I wanted for blue cheese.
I do like blue cheese but in this moment I had no idea what to do with it. So I had to use my imagination. I put away the stems to use in a chicken mushroom sauce and filled thehole of the mushrooms with blue cheese and butter. I placed them one by one in foil and sent them to the oven. They were delicious! 3 mushrooms were enough for a lunch.
Later on I´ll make a banana split as ice cream was on sale if you bought 2 packages.
For diner I´ll bake a piece of trout with a small potato and I´ll use the lettuce that Anita washed yesterday to fix a green salad.
How are you all doing?

Oh, that does sound delicious! If the caps were big enough, I would have diced the stems up and placed them in the cap to roast, too.
We're doing fine, thank you.
I'm glad you've been busy instead of being sick or in the hospital.

I dread hospitals. Not because of illness because at my age I´m never completly well and I love to have people taking care of me night and day. But hospitals are very expensive and the copay is a lot more than a trip to Aruba including a companion.

@DaddyEvil Leticia has never paid for hospitals but there´s such a long list in basic health plans that you have to be dying in order to be taken care of quickly.

@marguicha I understand. I wouldn't set foot in a hospital if I didn't have insurance that paid for everything.
I still don't like being in one, though.

I'm doing OK. Cousin #2 has offered for me to move down to Florida with her. I'm seriously considering it because I hate the NE Ohio winters.

@LindaOHio I am not sure I want to buy another house at this time of my life.

@marguicha Yes. She wants me to buy a house near her instead of living with her. That's a big project.

Aren't you able to go along with the shopper? I use Albertson's and I quite often will shop along with the shopper and make decisions if there needs to be a substitution. I can also show options on the grocery list in case there is need for a substitution.

I buy online and they send everything to my house. I started doing this during the pandemia and discovered that this was less expensive than using an Uber.

@celticeagle At first shoppers were not very good at choosing fresh produce. But now they learned .
