This is a decent cheese counter. She's cutting a 7 kilo round of Morbier, No.3 on my list of favorite cheese.

The goat cheeses are in a separate case to my right, and the Camembert/Brie type cheeses have a separate isle.

Yeah, you got to love it when the weather, air pollution from out west, and smog the east coast city corridor make for air quality alerts. We're affected out here today as well.

Does the "doctor photograph" at top of label indicate anything? regarding the veracity of the picture, that is..

No worries, but I wonder if phone/tablet viewers even notice that sort of thing.

Google quickly showed it as fake. There have been several I guess

I can't imagine anyone would have thought that was a real product.

I can't imagine anyone would have thought that was a real product.

I also never thought I’d see a fried chicken sandwich between two Krispy Kreme donuts either, but, well, no matter where we go, there we are.

Me neither, but is the world we are living in; ...this being be a plausible story is not out of question, just happens to not be in this case.

I'm not saying we should have stopped at hunter/gatherer societies, (I wonder if anyone had a choice,... but I digress).

But yeah, most of our species live way too far from self sustainable food/water source. Not to mention luxuries like heat and AC.

Having to rely on what is extruded from the corporate food factories.... That is not new, but seems to be getting worse. And the extruded paste seems to be of a lower quality.

Anyway, hopefully this post is amusing to some...been a long week at work.

I found a few of these pukurau (white basket fungus) on a popular local walking track on Thursday. I didn't realise how rare they were. They were gone on Friday so I guess someone had a nice lunch with them.

"plant based" popCORN?

 

[balrog]

One can never be too sure...

 

[DBhomebrew]

Interestingly, the product's website exchanges 'plant-based' with 'vegan'. Importantly, this seasoned popcorn has no butter. It's got nothing to do with the corn.

If you're looking to mock something, how about a national Walmart contract for popcorn going to a Jonas Brothers bandmate. Just like he used to make backstage!

 Speaking with a couple decades as a stagehand, we hate popcorn backstage. The smell everywhere! Greasy fingers on our really expensive-to-clean drapes! Microphones, etc., etc. Grease everywhere!

Our city house has a row of small pine trees separating our side yard from the neighbor’s. I think they’re called Mugo Pine or Mountain Pine. Anyway, these trees have really small needles which grow in sort of star shaped clusters. A few days ago I noticed something sticking out of one of the trees, near the top. Upon further review, it appears that a seed from another variety of fir tree landed in this tree, sprouted, and grafted itself to the trunk. So now we have a Frankentree. Or something.

Right there with you!!! Spending years as a sound-for-picture/mobile recording guy, there were few things worse than having to clean food, drink and bodily residue off of the disasteously twisted miles of expensive cables that somebody 'helped me out' by 'winding up' for me!
