An indulgent lunch

With having the day off work, I took the time to treat myself a little for lunch, my main meal of the day. I had picked up one of those packets of dried sliced potato with powdered cheese sauce, I made that and used half to top eggs I had scrambled with fried onions. I also ate a chicken salad sandwich and some tomato and red pepper soup. Dessert was banana nut bread, a ripe banana, toffee, with a berry tisane. Overall, I think everything went together well.

Single-story news channels

I am not sure what the point is of having access to several full-time news channels on television if they are all dominated by the same story about which there is little new news. Is there not some other news from somewhere they can give us? At around the time of Biden's first press conference as President, one couldn't escape it, even many hours afterward. I thought this trial in Minneapolis was successfully dominating the news, even though right now it mostly seems to focus soberly on incidental detail of matters like police organization and training, but instead every channel is now filled with many minutes of this lone assault on the Capitol, though we have less than a half-minute of actual information about it yet. At least it is not as bad as the occasional coverage of, a Royal baby will be born soon, here is the street outside the hospital where we don't know any more than you, the viewer.
