Have to get through the mediocre $7 discount grocery store wine so I can open the good $6 Costco wine.

Two wine bottles, one with a discount label and garish art, one with a 92 pts wine enthusiast label and classic reserved art. The better bottle was cheaper at Costco.

Yesterday, preparing for the "Fortnite day" my kid declared, we went to the grocery store. I fully expected to buy these for "quack snacks". They haven't been made since the 80s.

My kid declared today Fortnite Day, so we had Fortnite burgers and shield potions for dinner. His were blended Gatorade. Mine were curaçao, tonic water, tequila, and margarita mix. My Burger was better too. Kids don't appreciate "flavors" or "ingredients"

As a Texan in Washington state, I sometimes lament the lack of quality Tex-Mex. So tonight I made guacamole and queso fundido for dinner. Yeah, they're appetizers. So what?

Minute Maid has inexplicably partnered with some wrestling thing. Probably why it was on steep discount at the store. This fucker looks like Skrillex if he got fired from an AutoZone for stealing his boss's meth.

Found what I thought were oyster mushrooms yesterday, but wasn't sure and didn't want to risk it. Came back today and someone had harvested them. Nice to know I was probably right.
