thats far. I totally empathize. I wont even drive 4 miles away for groceries and lately Ive felt lazy about the nicer Safeway 2 miles away when I can walk to the decrepit Safeway thats a mile from my house.
when I go to Trader Joes, its paired with a Costco trip, plus a visit to my office P.O. Box. And sometimes my office! Lol

I make exceptions but like you, it involves combining destinations. For example, Sams is 10 miles away but located behind Millers Ale House. So, I can justify a trip to Sams by having a couple beers first.

Trying to eat more fish but I find it so boring. So I'm trying my hand at whole fish with SE Asian flavours because I think they do the best (cooked) fish. This was my first attempt at grilling a whole fish (snapper). Passed the first test and I didnt leave half the fish on the grill grates. Tasted really good too. I could happily eat that twice a week.

In order to be able to read this and the What's for dinner threads, I decided that I should be snaking. Otherwise I salivate.
Today's snack is crackers and Occelli Foglie Di Castagno cheese. If you like pungent cheese full of sweet nutty flavor then this is your cheese.

Flakey Cream Donuts looks like a classic donut shop except .
I bought 4 donuts and ate the blueberry. It was the best blueberry donut I can remember and Ive eaten them for decades. I returned to buy 4 more donuts and wrote a Yelp review. Top rating.
flying goat coffee
ordered online for pickup except I still have to enter the shop for pickup and theres a 1 customer at a time in shop rule. Sigh
bangkok - with housemade condensed milk
drip with oat milk

The key is to scale the fish under running water. That will cut down greatly on the scales flying all over the place. If doing this in a sink, make sure to use the drain stopper, as scales will clog pipes if allowed to go down the drain.

I like that it chars a bit when straight over the fire. I've cooked in foil a few times in the oven and its more like steaming. The Thais leave the scales on but cover the skin in salt so it can be lifted off after cooking. I just get the fish shop to clean it for me.
