kybearfuzzI went to the grocery store tonight. Traffic was a mess, mostly due to the main bridge between Covington, KY and Cincinnati, OH being shut down and everyone taking the side roads around.
The grocery was busy, but I managed to find everything I wanted and few things that caught my eye along the way. The one thing that caught my attention was the toilet paper aisle, as it was nearly empty again. With the governors of both Ohio and Kentucky making more serious lockdown arrangements, I assume that everyone is going back into hoarder mode. You'd think they'd have learned from last time, but apparently not.
After getting home and unloading the groceries, I made dinner. Tonight's dinner was a variation of what we in my family came to call "Poor Man's Pizza." When I was a kid, we really couldn't afford to order pizza often, but often craved the flavor of it. So we kids came up with making our pizza by putting spaghetti sauce and American cheese on white bread and toasting it in the oven. We often had the fixings for it, so it became a staple among the kids. My folks didn't seem to mind.
My variation tonight was low carb -- Low carb wheat bread toasted with Velvetta cheese, dunked into pizza sauce with garlic salt. I admit that it tasted pretty good, almost as good as the version from my youth, back when "low carb" had no meaning.
