What did you cook or eat today? (October 2025)

When Covid hit, the town grocer had a literal wall of TP as soon as you entered the store. It was well over my head, maybe 12ft high and the length of the shopping cart area, maybe 50ft.
It took them several years for that wall of toilet paper to whittle down :laugh:
Obviously we did not experience the shortage some predicted.
W did. I just remembered I was so shocked I photographed it:

I didn't take photos of those salads last night but they were so good. I'd forgotten how nice mixed cool raw veggies with some protein and salad dressing can taste. It was pretty, too.

Whenever I make a salad I tell myself the same thing. Not the pretty thing, just that I should make salads more often.
 
Wow!
I guess different areas were affected different ways.
I know some food disappeared here.
We had that happen at stores (TP, flour, yeast, etc), but never at all the stores at the same time. Not once was there ever a time I couldn’t easily get TP…if they were out at Kroger, they’d have it at Walmart, or Meijer, or Sam’s, or CVS…

I'm the type of person who stocks up on sales so I already had a closet full of TP when pandemic panic buying started.

I found TP of all places, the Korean store HMart.
