Not sure yet but maybe&#8230;started Arthur C. Clarke&#8217;s last novel today in the Space Odyssey trilogy called &#8220;3001, The Final Odyssey&#8221; and I&#8217;m enjoying getting back to some science fiction for a change and it&#8217;s one of the 35 books I got at the sale&#8230;I opened some weird mustard I got at aldis called dill pickle and I used it on some dogs today&#8230;not sure if I like it or not but I do like that aldis is being creative like with heat and sweet stuff I really like so I bought 2 more bottles of it&#8230;and at 1.49 a bottle, I can try it and toss it if I don&#8217;t like it&#8230;going to make the masala tomorrow and I&#8217;m glad I bought 5 pounds of jasmine rice with the coupon Tuesday&#8230;I guess the weather changes the world is going through has devastated rice production this year&#8230;and it&#8217;s so bad that Kelloggs is not using whole rice in their rice krispies anymore but a blend of wheat, rice and corn gluten&#8230;ick&#8230;so I wonder if I should stock up on it?
