Election day! I passed one polling place today and it was busy. It was on the way to get a Covid test at Mills Pond Park. I figured that since I won’t have people traipsing through the house any more I might as well get tested again. My last test was in May and it was the nasal swab. I think the guy got some of my brain matter with that test.
Today’s test was the throat swab and much easier. I waited in the drive thru line for about 40 minutes before I was even sent to a station. I think they had about eight tent stations. The person took my personal information from the driver’s license and then asked a series of questions: have you had the test before, any symptoms, have you been around any people who have Covid, etc.
From the data entry point I was funneled to another station who checked the print out of my data. From there I was sent to the final stop – the nurses’ stations. I was again asked to repeat my information and the swab was taken and that was it.
Results will be in 3-5 days and it’ll probably be a text message.
I’ll probably watch a little of the election returns but more likely, I’ll be checking Electoral Vote.com. They will start doing updates to the site around 6 pm. I find them to be the most accurate of all. I admit to being a yellow dog Democrat (I’d vote for a mangy, yellow dog over a Republican anytime). That term comes from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt years when the South voted the straight Democratic ticket.
On the way back from the Covid test, I stopped in at the Fresh Market. I ordered groceries from Publix for delivery yesterday but the one thing they were not able to find were grapefruit. That’s heresy in Florida. We probably grow more grapefruit than anybody. I suspect the shopper didn’t know you can find them at Publix as individual grapefruits or as a bagged set.
In any case, I bought six at Fresh Market. I eat a half a grapefruit every morning. I take the generic of Crestor and every thing I’ve read says Crestor is the one cholesterol medicine that is not affected by grapefruits. Of course, since then, I’ve seen one article that includes it on the no-no list but I still eat them anyway since my cholesterol is pretty much under control. At least I won’t die of scurvy.

I did manage to get out of the store for under $60. I consider that a major victory.
My friend John gave me a cookbook for my birthday (along with a gift card at Amazon and a tube of Harissa paste – I seem to use that a lot these days). The cookbook is Lucky Peach Presents Power Vegetables! by Peter Meehan.
Every single recipe looks great. It also includes several spices and condiments that I don’t have. Publix didn’t have them either so I ordered them from Amazon – at very expensive prices. One of the items I can’t wait to try is the green curry leaves which supposedly have a totally different taste sensation to curry powder.
The book isn’t written as a vegetarian cookbook but 99% of the recipes are for use without meat. I tried the sweet potato burritos from the book last night and I swear they are addictive. I’ll have to wait for some of the spices and condiments to arrive before I try some of the other recipes.
My song recommendation is “Happy Days Are Here Again!” by Ben Selvin and His Orchestra. Hopefully, after tonight, it’ll be appropriate.
Stay tuned and stay safe!
