Yeah, those filthy little youtubers! Had a friend who worked at a couple of fast food places and after what she told us we have not been to one in years. In our town a MacDonald's opened in 2011 and we have never been to it once. The last Kentucky Fried I got was about 12 years ago. It was pathetic, it consisted of this exactly but I was driving somewhere and didn't want to turn back by the time I looked at it, a wing that looked like it came off a quail, a bit of crumbed whatever it is coated in rib cage section with a nugget size bit of actual meat on it and a just passable size drum stick. My chips consisted of a bag with roughly 12 fries in it. I vowed to never buy KFC again after that. And never have. I dont care what his secret recipe is!

Plenty of terror to go around right now.
Haha
Only fast food I'm havin comes from my microwave these days.
No way did they stock all that meat between 11 and noon. So now I had to go the 1/2 mile walk back to the meat dept AGAIN to get the 150lbs of the meat I had ordered. They had EVERYTHING on my order except the whole chickens. Then I couldn't remember what they had in the cart and what not... so I walk over to the peppers... I wanted the large bell tri-color, online they only had the small sweets available. So I ordered 2 bags of those. They had both versions 4 boxes deep... so I grabbed a bag of the large ones. I grabbed a few other things I thought were missing. Walk the 1/2 mile back to the front of the store and checked out.
NEVER AGAIN!
God damn, pami!!! I am sorry to see this!!!Okay... let me tell you about my trip to Sam's Club
Y'all already know about my Aldi's order that got cancelled on Sunday. We've been trying to get meat for like 3 weeks now. So Sunday night I placed a pick up order at Sam's for today 12-1pm. When I placed the order sunday the chicken breasts weren't available. So I checked this morning and they were now in stock. So I called Sam's at 10:20 to add the chicken breasts to my order... nope! They won't do it. If I want the chicken I have to go into the store to get it. The lady I spoke to also told me they were currently still working on the 11am orders and were a bit behind. Okay, no biggie right?
Forward to 12:50pm when I finally get my order ready e-mail. Mom knows I don't like going places by myself so she went with me. First of all, it WAS NOT curbside pickup as they advertised... you have to go into the store to pick it up. I had gloves, and mom gave me a mask to wear. It's one of those thick, triple layer infection masks. I'm claustrophobic... 30 seconds after I put it on I start getting a panic attack. But I can't turn back, we need the meat.
The first thing I did was walk the 1/2 mile back to the meat dept to get my chicken. (Yes, I'm exaggerating but it's a very VERY long walk for someone with a disability.) My hearts racing, my glasses are fogging up, but I'm on a mission! They had the breasts and tenderloins so I got 1 of each (since there was a 1 per person limit). I walk the 1/2 mile back to the registers, check out, then proceed to the pick up counter. Now, I placed a LARGE order... we do this every year at this time with our tax return. Out of the 33 items I ordered... they only pulled 10 of them.... 10 .... zero meat.... ZERO MEAT?!?!?!?!?
Needless to say I was fuming!... So I ask the lady calmly, "Uh this isn't all of my order... where's my meat?" She claims there was no meat available at the time they pulled my order. Now, I was just back there... the meat dept was fully stocked! I ordered 9 different kinds of meat. I said "Did they even bother to look? The meat dept is fully stocked back there, you mean to tell me alllll that meat was stocked in the last hour since you pulled my order?"
I CALL BULLSHIT!!
Since I had 2 buggies now a nice young clerk helped me out the van and unloaded it all for me. Once I got in the van I realized what else was missing... I didn't get ANY of my bread items. I had ordered bread and burger and hd buns... which they had, I seen them... but I wasn't making that mile trek for a 4th time! I didn't get my lettuce... and it's a good thing I grabbed the peppers because they hadn't pulled the little sweets either. UGH!!!!!
Mom helped me get it all in the house. It took me 4 1/2 hours to process all the meat. I vacuum pack it all into single servings. I can breathe a little easier now knowing we finally have a freezer full of meat.
Oh, I forget to mention... it was crazy busy. People were NOT staying the 6 feet apart. I bet there was over 100 people in the meat dept both times I was back there. I'm good for another 23 days without leaving the house now!!

You would think they'd prefer people coming to pick up rather than coming into the store.
That sounds like a terrible day! I’m sorry you had to go through all that!!Okay... let me tell you about my trip to Sam's Club

Yes, I use it all the time. I found a place to get the good bags for cheap. It's just a lot of processing by myself. Normally hubby would help by writing on the bags and packing it all into the freezer, but I managed and got it done.

Normally I only vac seal what I'm gonna freeze. Never thought about vac'n the veggies to keep them fresher. Maybe I'll try that with a few of the peppers!
It's crazy! I wish I had taken pictures to show y'all how much meat was out there. We all know things are crazy right now... but don't tell us to USE this service and then shortchange us because we used it.
Right??That sounds totally miserable. I'm so sorry you had to go through all that.
Thanks!
I consider myself very blessed that we have the deep freeze and are able to do our annual stockup. There are a lot of people that don't have the freezer space, you're not alone there.
raises hand... me!
It's all we use.
Good grief!We had to wait for Mr J's test while - get this - someone dropped off Happy Meals to the staff running the drive through and they made us wait while they distributed and took a group pic
For peppers I am going to use as sauteed like in spaghetti sauce or chili. I just cut em up into the sizes I will use them and vac seal and freeze. works great.Normally I only vac seal what I'm gonna freeze. Never thought about vac'n the veggies to keep them fresher. Maybe I'll try that with a few of the peppers!
All well here. Md family out of touch the other day due they were taking a day off electronics(cept for my mom).They did monitor though in case of emergencies. My mom is in a sr home there. a few hundred srs. They stopped all visitors almost 4 weeks ago. Have been keeping residents in their rooms for the last 2 weeks. Very strict. Mom thinks family has abandoned her. Very unhappy,doesn't get it at all. They have 0 cases, including both staff and residents. This is a very good thing. My idiot brother in texas insists on going out shopping every few days. He's bored
Stay well all!
You got that right.It’s like a diet Unhappy Meal!
have you ever tried green bags...Normally I only vac seal what I'm gonna freeze. Never thought about vac'n the veggies to keep them fresher. Maybe I'll try that with a few of the peppers!
Nope need to keep this one more topic focused.Check in and say it here, all in one.

Still working from home and still getting paid. I took the dog outside so she could take care of her business and it's looking like today will be a rainy day.
I'm sorry about everyone's shopping problems. @Countrypami, @Huckleberried
@nadalama do I need to fuss with you?
Our county is still at 34 cases and 1 death. My wife and I are fine.
Stay safe y'all
Yeah looks like our bad weather is running a day late from previous forecasts.
Sorry to hear about your sis and niece... prayers for yall
Huggleberry!!!!!!!!Checking in. OK today, just some stuff up in the air that I have no control over, so it's making me mad, still. Hopefully, will have answers early next week to that stuff and can move on from that, and hopefully in a good way. A really big deal that affects my daily life, and it's not helping my state of mind with everything we're all going through.
Training 2 people today at work, proximity will be a thing, so I'll be gloved up, masked up, for sure. I'm grateful to be able to work, I know so many aren't able to, right now, and I mean no disrespect. I feel guilty for talking about a job, but it gives me a lot of anxiety to go in, so I have to let that out, somewhere. I hope to not upset people. That's never, ever, my goal.
Weather right now is gorgeous, though I hear we're in store for some pretty bad storms later. I have the windows open, so enjoying that for the now.
Hang tough, everyone. Much love to you all.
