Day of dread

I wonder if it will matter that I'm weary of today... I will avoid roller coasters. I will avoid shelving units. I will look both ways when crossing streets. I will refrain from backing my car up by parking where I can pull-through. I will park away from cars. I will drink plenty of fluids. I will tie my shoes securely. I will hug my children regularly throughout the day.
Actually, I'm being silly for the sake of it. I don't do risky things and I learn from my mistakes. As long as I remember that gravity can crush bones, I should be able to avoid some self-inflicted accidents.

I'm hungry for Deep Dish pizza from Little Caesar's.  I ate a tasty double-decker hamburger tonight. The patties we leftover from Father's Day. My inlaws don't eat left-overs so I take things home to see that they aren't wasted.

The burgers were rather dry out of the fridge. They use lean meat, and lean meat isn't the best to grill. Hamburgers off the grill should be juicy. Whenever I grill on my Char-Broil TRU  Infrared, I use fatty ground chuck from Dot's, so the best thing to do when re-heating burger without juice is to grab A1 Steak Sauce and coat the patty before nuking it for 20-30 seconds then flipping and re-heating another 20-30 seconds.

I got some Aunt Millie's buns from Meijer's when they had a BOGO sale in mid-May. J put one of them in the freezer and pulled it out last week. Frozen bread tends to be hard and any bread of a certain age can get moldy. I made sure it didn't have any moldy spots, and decided to toast the buns in my Black and Decker Toast R Oven. Toasting stale bread makes it better, since TOAST IS MEANT NOT TO BE SOFT except for French Toast which is meant to be soggy with butter and maple syrup! I set the T-R-O for low, then I buttered both inner parts of the bun to give moisture.

I like cheese on my burgers, so I got out a slice of American Cheese. The cheese was cold, so I assembled the sandwich and placed into the Toast R Oven. The burger was looking good and melty, but I knew the center of the patties would be dry so I got out some Heinz, shook the bottle to give the ketchup a more thorough consistency, for ketchup always separates, and that made a tasty left-over meal.

 (I shared a dorm room with a guy that didn't refrigerate ketchup for he argued that restaurants didn't and that vinegar based products don't need it.)

Venturing to Walgreens via Target

So we had places to go and things to do, the first stop was to PetSmart to look at aquariums to replace or 10 gallon tank. Our tank is a couple years old and our fish need a bigger home. We've had to move our male betta out to heal up from being attacked. Saw some aquariums, but nothing said "buy me now."

We went to Target next. I had to see the Pharmacist about getting the second half of K's medication. He'd left a vm while we were at PetSmart, so he was expecting us. Got word that the Walgreen's down the street had the script waiting for us, but we did some shopping at Target before leaving.

Had a coupon for $3 off a $25 or more purchases of groceries, and we had to look a while for $25 worth of food since there's quite a few things I will not buy at Target. But we found enough food and bought some things that we needed.

We left for real groceries that were at Dot's Market in Bellbrook. We buy all our meat there. Never heard of them having a meat recall like Sam's and Kroger, plus they don't use Pink Slime.

Since we were in the neighborhood, we stopped at Dairy Shed. I prefer Dixie Dairy Dreem. The chocolate from my dipped cone was like syrup and dripped a puddle upon reception. B got the brunt of the mess as it was handed to me while she was standing by my feet. A lot of ugly kids were staring about, which hadn't been a concern when were ate at Dixie where most people use the drive thru.

We made our way to Walgreen's upon returning towards home. It was a nice and easy in and out stop.

Got home, and made dinner using the items we got from Target and Dot's. Cheaper than eating at Steak'n Shake, but most things are cheaper when you fix them yourself and don't have to leave a tip.
