I've never eaten a Peep, but this just seems weird.

I'm pretty much about the "original" Peep, not all of the variations that seem to be out there.... however, this one, I may have to try - if it's real!

The Chicken Dance (or the PEEP dance)

Just watched as much as I could stomach of that Scottish Opera thing. It's worse than a grade school production. The "director", who seems to be barely out of college, has a vision, you see. Contemporary, no attempt at having the Hansel at least look like a boy, socially distanced, of course, a reduced orchestra. Just amateur and the comments must all be from school children or friends.

Scottish Opera has a production of Hansel und Gretel online.

Didn't check it out to see if it's any good.

Are they in kilts?

Peeps are not food. They are an acquired tasted. Unfortunately, for me, I have acquired the taste. And yes, I would try a hot tamale version in a split second. Sugar, chemical compounds, cinnamon and more sugar. What could be bad about that?

Costco did not raise the price of gasoline, so I was able to fill up for $1.84 a gallon. That was nice.

They did not have any eggs and the sign up front said no water. But I discovered that that was just bottled still water. They had plenty of San Pellegrino on sale as well as other types of mineral and sparkling water. So, I grabbed a cased of San Pellegrino.

Walmart didn't have any water either. In fact, their entire perishables area, from meat to dairy, was empty. I don't know if everyone had bought everything or if it spoiled in a power outage, but it was empty.

I did grab the last 12-pack of lime-flavored seltzer.

I hope that's enough water for a few days.

Best of all, I got to feel some sun on my face. Felt luxurious, healing.

You are lucky you can drink the other options. I can only comfortably drink regular water.

Eating the Chinese food - wasn't so bad at all. Not great, not so bad.

TOD

I can't think of anything we have seen I would say is worthy of Best Film. MANK might have nominations for the acting.

The film we enjoyed the most was LOVE AND MONSTERS.

yes. I think I have eight. I'm not using them at the moment.

I am starting to watch the Italian film Martin Eden. I don't have high hopes, despite some rave reviews.

Jack London's book was a savage satire on the inevitable fallibility of socialism. This looks like it is an embrace of socialism, Italian style. For more than 2 hours.

It's also modern day, not set at the turn of the 20th century.

I think you will be ok unless you eat or bake with a lot of eggs.

Right. I am changing what I eat during this time. Things that don't need to be prepared by washing it in advance or by adding water. I have switched from apples to grapefruit only for a few days. I have eaten some produce, such as some cherry tomatoes, already washed. But I'm running out of those.

The good news today is that one area of Bexar County lifted the boil water advisory. Maybe my area will be soon.

I could only take a half hour of Martin Eden tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
