All stocked up for a couple of weeks

 Last week I paused in my shopping to take a few shots of this, one of my favorite grocery stores!

Early on a Tuesday morning I drove to Asheville before doing many of my normal morning things. Wanted to get there before many people were also shopping. And I was among maybe 20 in the whole store, which was doable for 6 foot distancing.

I carefully drove my cart around and around, and I think I got enough produce that should be cooked in the next couple of days...in order to keep for a few weeks...as soups, stews etc.

Aldi's has a great selection of produce, especially early in the day.  I now skip the meat and cheese departments...which look pretty good. I had to grab some more coffee, a fair trade brand.

You can see by the slightly out-of-focus shot that only 2 other people were bagging their groceries after I left.

I was happy to get everything into my 3 big shopping bags...then carted them out to the car. I learned the first time I visited that this is a "bag it yourself" store.

My next stop was to visit with a friend who works at a gas station...and I filled up the gas tank and did a car wash as well. Then home to put away groceries and then a walk with another friend around the lake! All in good time. Except I'd not done my morning meds or nebulizer treatment. Oh well. When I got home I did them at lunch time. And didn't seem the worse for changing the timing so I could shop early.

That night I fixed a couple of heads of broccoli in the steamer and some rice and a patty of fake meat for dinner. There are still lots of other things to cook and eat for my plant based low-fat diet.

Quote for today:

... the most fundamental scientific ‘fact’ is not the existence of a universe of things in space and time but awareness of such a universe.

Awareness is not a ‘thing’ that can evolve from or arise out of an unaware or insentient universe of things. On the contrary all things in the universe emerge and take shape out of a universal awareness.
