"Swing low"


 Black spirituals from the '20s keep popping into my head.

My hovel has been condemned, and I am to be transported somewhere.
Hooterville? Mayberry?
Hooterville was bombastic and nosy.
Mayberry was judgmental (and nosy)

*Mount Pilot*?

I might add to this. 
Links to "Paul Robeson" who you've never heard of, except maybe as a voice in old movies.
"Nobody knows"
"The trouble I've seen"
(it was on "The Lucy show", you knew that one, right?)

clean underwear.
Syringes.
my insulin and some leftover food
(ummm)
a small TV.
All my chargers (three)
Aannnd...My condemned house-keys (I shall return)
And my new wrench, if it ever gets here.
I'll say "goodbye" to my new faucet, and consider buying a bed.
Oh! Pillows.

Will it be windy cold and dark? A blankie!!

I'll have to trust that my neighbors I leave behind are good, hardworking,
Americans, patriotic,salts of the earth (no stealing!)

Ignore the bottles and cans (but don't throw them away, OK?)
My teacup, my spoon, my sugar, (omg)
"Nobody knows..."





I've apparently been making Cobb Salads 3x a day, according to an all seeing neighbor.
I looked it up; it's maybe similar but they prefer a ton-better looking salads, all separate-but-equal, apartheid ingredients.

Plus, they use eggs. I don't, usually,  nor any avocados. But the biggest differences are, the stuff is heavily integrated and coated generously with mayonnaise.

Jennifer Aniston would hate it.
I wouldn't know about Mr. Cobb.

"basic vinaigrette" Hey, I use Vinegar! It makes the mayonnaise more tarty.
I almost forgot, *My* mayonnaise is all hoity-toity-upper-crusty,
And it has oil from avocados.
"pecorino," what's that? I know I can google it, but I'll prefer the vision in my head of 
happy cows sheep in southern france tended by kids hugging chickens.
Sharp cheddar here. "Tillamook," TYVM.
I don't know the dollar-tree brands, the kind they serve in orphan homes.
So a lot of this  next paragraph is guessing.
Like, I know there's imitation cheese that won't melt,
imitation spam (ew)
and et cetera, so I wonder what they came up with for pecorino.
Maybe there is a similarly named cheese?
Yes, of course there is, and it is every bit as expensive as Pecorino.
"Extra old"
do YOU see an old man in a green windbreaker too?
A real mean guy you've been warned to stay away from?


It looks all non-pretentious and natural, until you read the prices.
It's as if they hired Jennifer Aniston to hug the chickens.





DIY Pecorino (I've tasted your DIY pizza, it's not the same! but...

YEW guys love Parmesan, awful stuff, on your asparagus and sardines, so I don't trust you.
Price-times-three, leave it be.
Imagine you got all used to your home-depot DIY cheese and then found out it was nothing like the original?
All those pointless stomach upsets and nausea and lost friends. (Link)
I still say I can live without Parmesan and pecorino.
Stay away from "artisanal" cheeses!!
Mass-produced Cheddar FTW
(Link)
another link (bah humbug)






yeahbutt then the evoo & sea-salt people tarted it up
Anyway, DIY or the "extra old" stuff looks good, if you can grate it down real small and use it sparingly like sea-salt, buy a cheese-grotto for it and put it on display next to the cocotte.
