BelGioioso’s Fresh Mozzarella cheese was enjoyable. Check out the big plate. I seasoned it with salt, pepper, & olive oil (all Kirkland Signature brand). I shall make it one more time. I have one more pack left. Costco sells 2 packs of 16 oz cheese for $7.29. I bought it when there was a $2.30 instant savings on it. So, I paid $4.99 for 2 packs. FYI: Walmart sells them at $5.78 each. So Costco has the best price by a huge margine.
My Mozzarella cheese salad was very good. My friend loved it. It was such a good relaxing time.
Basil costed more than the cheese. I thought that was ridiculous. I shall grow my one basil. I still have basil seeds from 7 years ago. I wonder if they are any good. Does anyone remember that blog? I had so much fun back then. I was excited about buying a packet of basil seeds and a little pot. Sometimes I worry that magic is fading away.

I need to stop buying pants. But these looked nice.
I didn’t buy anything special except for the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese. I bought it because of the tiny picture on top of the packaging (see below). It was weird. When I saw that picture… I don’t know… I had to buy it so I can make that plate myself. I guess I was hungry. I was there at 8 pm after work – I had a long day.

Sunday morning is my favorite time of the week. I like to start Sunday morning with a load of white laundry. The sound and smell of laundry (bleach) make my house feel cozy and homey. It’s fun to iron a few shirts and pants, too.
I also enjoy Sunday morning Costco shopping once in a while, especially when I need a car wash. My goal is to come back home before noon, so I can start my laundry.
First, I did a car wash. Then I pulled up to a far empty corner of the parking lot to wipe down my car. There were already several folks doing the same thing… quietly wiping down their cars on Sunday morning.
I bought a bag of power greens and a rotisserie chicken. A can of peanuts was an impulse buy.
Back at my car, at the parking lot, I saw a tiny lady loading her car. I asked her if she wanted hands with her 40 pack of drinking water. “Yes, yes, please…” she said. I put my stuff in my car and went to the food court.
I set in the shade and took my time enjoying a hot dog. I came back home before noon and started my laundry.
I love Sunday morning. Costco shopping was glorious.
Oh boy. This is why some people hate Americans. Shame on me.
I have a good diet, but I get a special craving once in a while – I need some serious eatin’. Once I ate 2-pound steak and won a t-shirt. And I set my own sushi eating record almost 10 years ago (Dec 16. 2008).
Last week, I went to an all-you-can-eat place. Below is a picture of what I ate. It was satisfying, and I felt no guilt. God bless America.
*I am 5’7″ 155lb. Sorry about poor pictures. The restaurant was dark.
I think it started way back when I was growing up poor. I would visit my rich relatives once in a while and they would have unlimited food… good food. I remember how overwhelmed I was, and how committed I was to eat as much as I could.
Mm… maybe I think too much. I like to pig out once in a while. we all do.
I have never seen this kind of sales event at Costco before.
There is “More you buy, more you save” sales event on clothing items going on right now – until April 29, 2018.
I did it. Now I have a central air conditioner, as rich people do.
I remember about ten years ago. The thermostat inside my apartment would pass the 100-degree mark… and it would stay up there for 3 days straight. Now I have a house with better insulation, but I didn’t have a central air conditioner. Last year alone, I spent about 40 days feeling miserable in the hot living room.
Finally, my suffering is over. I’ve been planning and saving for years for a central air conditioner.
But I feel strange. I feel a little empty inside now that this is done. I need to find another hobby, save for a convertible, or something. If I had a family of my own, I would not feel this weird after buying a dang air conditioner. I think living alone has a lot to do with my emotional ground. I now have nothing else to look forward to. I need to come up with something to keep me excited.
I am enjoying my new lifestyle. There is more life to live. More to come…
