    Struggling through pasta shortage today.  Just wanted elbow pasta.  Had to pull an audible and settle for cavatappi.

    Our Costco has been selling  that bucket for a few years now, even pre-pandemic. Harvey may have had something to do with it, but i've seen it well before COVID times.

    I have no idea if there are shortages.  We order online and get curbside pickup.  They ALWAYS substitute some items which we’ve found has more to do with how hard the picker looks vs what they actually have.  Fortunately we can accept or reject substitutions online before we go or when we pick up.
    My first online order was my last online order.  The produce chosen was terrible, they substituted probably 30% without telling us, and the groceries where just tossed in the drivers trunk and it looks like he moonlighted as a bootlegger running from the cops.
    Do you think the folks who stocked you had once met you in person, by any chance?
    Was probably my very demanding notes I left in the "special request" box of my order, very clearly telling them how to do their job.

    there's a black kettle and pot in there somewhere..
    Have:
     XLBGE / Stumps Baby XL / Couple of Stokers (Gen 1 and Gen 3) / Blackstone 36 / Maxey 3x5 water pan hog cooker
    Had:
    LBGE / Lang 60D / Cookshack SM150 / Stumps Stretch / Stumps Baby

    Where you been, Dude?  


    Been in lurking mode. The past few months I've been having "fun" spending a few weeks/stints in the hospital then rehab center/physical therapy.
    I only had my iPad at my bedside during that time and I hate typing on those things. As I am now able to get out of bed and into a wheelchair I can roll to my desk and use my iMac so I'll likely be popping up more often.

    I hope whatever this is was temporary and that you’re on the mend for good, my friend.

    I noticed you lurking when I lurked at your profile’s last active date.  Hope you make the fullest recovery possible from unsaid illness and get to makin more BBQ.  Dust off that camera lens!  =)

    Hope you get back to your old self, and looking forward to seeing some upcoming cooks.

    It would be pretty hilarious if @HeavyG's first food pic on the forum was of a tray of hospital food.

    Most disappointing cereal ever.  Tastes nothing like grapes or nuts.

    A few weeks ago the Kroger was out of dark brown sugar.  Took a couple of weeks to restock.  Last week out of distilled water but since recovered.  BTW- I have seen the distilled water outage a few times well prior to the pandemic.  
    And chix wings are at $3.99/lb and this a little over two weeks prior to the Super Bowl.  Prices on the other parted out chix pieces have risen but not like the wings??

    Walmart didn’t have saffron. Progresso Minestrone soup is also hard to find. At Walmart two days ago only skinless and boneless chicken parts were available.
