Country Meats 🍖

from Lehman s

Early morning shopping at the Real Canadian SuperStore was successful. The basics were potatoes, salad pack, coleslaw, onions, Chinese greens < gai lo to you >, tomatoes, buns, rolls, pork roast,  vanilla creamer, ju jubes, wine gums < see the basics > plus a frying pan, snack boxes w/ ice sleeves in the lids    < all on sale for 60 % off >.
The frying pan is ceramic lined on aluminum w/ a steel bottom.

If you go at 7: 30 AM, there is an empty store and no line up at cashier lane. And it rains all day w/ temperatures heded for 85 or a bit more.

From the CBC, there is a Canada, leading the way item : [[ Vancouver-based fusion energy company General Fusion has entered an agreement with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority to build a nuclear fusion demonstration plant to be operational in 2025. It will take a unique approach to generating clean energy.   ]]   The fusion technology is called  ' sun in a bottle '  b/c fusion is at the heart of the stars.
The process where hydrogen and basic atoms join and become bigger atoms but release energy. Bazinga ! sun in a bottle.
Now, the bottle is the size of an office building and the energy gets measured in ' kilomega whatzits ' but essentially the same idea

The frying pan was tested and performed well. I decided sometime ago that we are not using the horribly abused mismatched pans that we had. We can afford some basic equipment < and if M stops using metal utensils for cooking then we can do even better >

Lazy but satisfied.
We did takeout for lunch from Skyland hot table and sushi. The combo is noodles / rice and then pick two of the twenty items. This portion is a meal for two. Plus, I took some dim sum  < hakkow and shumai >  one is shrimp and the other pork mix. Both are steamed. The sushi was an assortment of shrimp, fish and veggie collage. Most of the above gets frozen for snacks etc. The sushi has to be finished tonight < ah, shucks ! > but really the sushi will not refrigerate well < dries out > and next day is chancy at best. The flavour goes and then the hardness from drying.

BTW, those spellings are variable e.g
hakkow = har gow
shumai = chu my
Really its an Anglcized translation <  phonetically  > Or you can point and hold up fingers. Actually, the girls are quite fluent as in - they understand my broken English
