#fritz
We’re kind of reading the grocery flyers and biting
back tears, in what is either a mixed metaphor or a malapropism, or maybe it was Leo Gorcey in some failed early cooking show, spun off from The Bowery Boys in an alternate universe comprehensible only to Moebius and guys like you.
Maybe Ricky said it, in the lost episode of Trailer Park Boys.
Either that, or maybe it's just the prices. One can only visualize the aroma of a half rack of ribs and a couple of shrimp, going down the hallway, under the doors and around the frames of some pretty unfortunate neighbours assuming some of them can't cook worth a shit at all although sometimes the smell is pretty good and one wonders about that guy--them shoes came out of the bargain rack at a local thrift shop if I ain't mistaken, and even then, just a little bit gay, ah, ladies and gentlemen.
That being said, we have been thinking a lot (or alot – ed.) about sea food, which as we all know is good for the brain, and it has a lot of unsaturated, that is to say, good fats. And it will put lead in your pencil and at this point in time, what with all of the supply chain disruptions, might even be cheaper than a box of Count Chocula. It also has vitamins and minerals and stuff like that. It's got trace elements, not too many free radicals, and all in all, it's very good at maintaining ones' (or one's. - ed.) precious bodily fluids.
Sorry, this is all about seafood and I digress.
...which is a gourmet meal in and of itself.
Hot, hearty and wholesome food is good for keeping up the morals. (Morale. - ed.)
(Morals. If you have food, you don't need to steal copper wire and such-like. - Louis.)
(Ah. - ed.)
So. We got a box of Highliner Beer Battered Haddock fillets, these were on sale some time ago at Giant Tiger. The same day, we grabbed the box of battered scallops, on sale for $4.97 or something crazy like that, bearing in mind that the actual weight of product is marked on the box.

We haven’t tasted scallops in quite some time and so we had certain expectations. These appear to be small bits, cut up, rather than a whole breaded scallop.
Even so, it is good to simply taste something different, such things, every once in a while.
Now, the frozen, Marina Del Rey frozen Argentine wild shrimp came from Food Basics. This is why we read the flyers once in a while. So I bought that, and then when I got it home, I realized that we really don’t have any sauce for that sort of thing, also, I have never done shrimp before, also, I had brought in the tabletop gas grille from my balcony, due to inclement weather and etc.
(Frozen, etc. - ed.)
Today, I picked up exactly $21.00 worth of groceries, including the price of a plastic bag.

| More or less as pictured. |
This included a field cucumber, a tomato, and a tub of
creamy noodle salad, which has gone very quickly from $1.79 all the way up to
$2.99, even though the Province of Ontario has no plans to raise disability
within the course of our natural, (or unnatural, in some cases, er, lifetimes. – ed.) ...and now I shall finish this sentence, thank you very much.
This is why I roasted a half a rack of ribs along with
two of the frozen shrimp, in a pre-heated oven of 375 F, and flipping all of
that two or three times over twenty-two minutes or so, or perhaps even a little bit longer, depending on how things were going at the time. Etc.
I served that with other things, (...things. - ed.) as the reader can see.
Considering three different kinds of seafood in the
freezer, and a bag with a couple of servings of frozen French fries, my brain
really ought to be adding cells at an alarming, if not quite impressive, rate. That is because, theoretically seafood is good for you.
