Nothing much going on here. There were a couple of stories in my news feed that caught my eye.
Are you a sriracha sauce fan, specifically Huy Fong Sriracha Sauce? Bottles of that sauce are selling for nearly $70 plus shipping on eBay for a 28 oz. bottle and a 2-pack on Amazon for $124. Whether anyone will pay those exorbitant prices remains to be seen; but a shortage of chili peppers due to a drought in California, New Mexico and Mexico have put a strain on production. A 17 oz. bottle typically sells for $5.
Malaria cases have shown up in the United States for the first time in 20 years. Cases have been reported in Texas and Florida.
Any news catch your eye?
Breakfast - Belvita Oat Biscuits
Lunch - Meals on Wheels - Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, cranberry juice and pears
Dessert/Snack - Lemon muffin and decaf coffee
Dinner - Chili
What did you eat yesterday?

@LindaOHio
I imagine that I would pay more of shipping and Customs duty than what I can make.

Nothing happening here. Pretty and I are staying in the house with the air on since it was and is supposed to be over 100F yesterday and today.
I ate a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit for breakfast, a chicken and cheese sandwich for lunch and scrambled eggs with veggies in them for supper last night.
I hope the air is getting better around your house and you received more rain yesterday.

The big storm went south before it reached Ohio. We should get rain today though. Stay cool!

I heard about malaria cases. Shark attacks have caught my attention. They're sending up drones to watch for them.
Yesterday was a light eating day. Breakfast: Banana, eggs, and potato. Lunch: Veggie Pasta with tuna, shredded cheese, Alfredo sauce, and blackberries for dessert. No supper, but raspberries for a snack.

Yes, the news from SCOTUS caught my eye.
I was born without a corpus callosum. That is our brain's main communications center. I am highly functioning, but the condition of others with complete agenesis of the corpus callosum is more profound., so they are more severely affected.
Still, brain imagery shows that I clinically have the brainwaves of a severely mentally retarded child, even though I functionally do not.
SCOTUS's ruling regarding the Christian website designer makes it clear to all Americans that I am allowed to say "retarded" and others are allowed to not like that I chose to use that correct medical term for that clinical finding on my brain scans, but they are not allowed to tell me I cannot say it because it makes them feel butthurt.
I forget what I had for breakfast, but I had a taffy at some point today, and I think I may have coussous, rice, or quinoa for dinner. No. Wait. I take that back. I had leftover dinner rolls for breakfast.
My drinks have been water and coffee.

@LindaOHio And it’s sad, isn’t it. I want them to be remembered, and I am always glad to see when those left are recognized.

We do not use that sauce, we like things mild.
Last night I pan seared our sirloin steaks and then finished them in the air fryer oven as the baked potatoes finished baking. We had a mixed vegetable to go along with it as well as mushroom quarters fried.

That sounds like highway robbery for that siraccha sauce but I guess if you're desperate you'll pay. I didn't know there was a shortage of chili peppers.
An increase of Malaria? that sounds scary
Last night we had spaghetti with fried eggplant cutlets

I wonder how it started up again. Mosquitoes hitching a ride to the States? Someone with malaria here got bitten by a mosquito??

Wow, those prices for sriracha sauce are crazy! The shortage is causing quite a stir. Let's hope the chili pepper situation improves soon.
Malaria cases in the US after 20 years is concerning. Stay vigilant and take necessary precautions!
As for yesterday's meals, I had Belvita Oat Biscuits for breakfast, a yummy Meals on Wheels Salisbury steak for lunch, a lemon muffin with decaf coffee as a snack, and some delicious chili for dinner.
