I was out and about this morning; thank goodness we here haven\’t (yet!) been ordered to stay indoors. Query: Is it a \”roundabout\” when I take an out-and-back trip on a bicycle?

I rode the hybrid to the regular supermarket. I\’ll go there or to Whole Foods when I want something specific. Besides, Whole Foods doesn\’t open until 8:00 am, and I was a little early for that.

The supermarket had some empty shelves. There wasn\’t much left in the way of dried beans, for example. I had to skip buying lentils. I didn\’t  notice whether there was still rice, because I forgot to write it on my shopping list. Luckily I still have plenty at home.

Over the last day or two, I\’ve developed a hankering after potato salad. I got a few potatoes, and had planned to get a small, i.e. half-dozen, box of eggs. There weren\’t any; I had to get a dozen eggs.

What to do with all those eggs? In Google it says you can keep eggs in the fridge for up to five weeks; longer than I had though. So I\’m leaving six eggs in the fridge to eat over the next two or three weeks. I separated the rest, keeping only two yolks. I beat them slightly with a little salt, and put them in a jar to freeze. Now I\’d better learn how to make an omelette!

The store was out of the soap I wanted, so I\’m glad I\’m not out of it at home. There wasn\’t any sourdough bread. Most frozen vegetables were gone, and so were frozen blueberries.

There was much less traffic than usual, not that I mind that. It\’s nice to be out and about on a bicycle when there are fewer cars on the roads.
