OCT 12, 19 .. SUCCESS AND FAILURE
This Saturday morning here in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, it was chilly in my room when I awoke and so I knew it must be cold outdoors. It was. The ambient outdoor temperature was 9°F.
I had one and I had only one PRIMARY MISSION today.
Get more peanut butter.
SUCCESS
A week ago yesterday, Friday the 4th of October, I found, for the first time in four and one half years here in Ulaanbaatar, peanut butter. Back in July of 2015, not knowing any better, I walked into a local grocery store here and bought some Skippy brand, crunchy peanut butter. When I went back a few days later, it was gone, and never until last Friday the 4th of October 2019, have I found it again.
Wowie! Peanut Butter. I’ll buy one jar, take it home, try it out.
Wowie! It was beyond wonderful and so I went back and bought three more jars of it.
And there was more left for me to come back later and restock.
ABYSMAL FAILURE
abysmal.. adjective.. Of or like an abyss; Immeasurably deep or great. Extremely or hopelessly bad or severe:
It was gone. I scoured the store from basement to the main floor. Gone. Absolutely, positively gone. Just like back in July of 2015.
The only good thing is this: I now have an empty jar to take with me to begin shopping for more.
SUCCESS
I found a bottle brush.
SUCCESS
I figured out how to hang it up over my kitchen sink.
In amongst my Team of Bobbseys, I carry wire for such miscellaneous projects.
He is really happy to have become one of my Team of Bobbseys.
SUCCESS
A week ago yesterday, Friday the 4th of October, I found and purchased some canned tuna. I got it at the same store that I found the peanut butter.
Aha! I’ve got to improve what I am eating so I’ll get a can and try it out. Great find.
FAILURE
It was so bad that I did not even take a photo of it fearing some child would see the photo and think it was vomit. It was ground up like hamburger meat and, although I did eat every bit of it, it was distasteful.
SUCCESS
Today, at my local Nomin Supermarket ..
I found a supply of the below tuna. A Korean product.
I took it home and heated it up and then put it over noodles.
SUCCESS
It was to-die-for-good.
Being a stock item on the Nomin shelves I can rely on getting more.
And?
And so I have! Gotten more!
Notice ( on the right ) it comes in two sizes.
That’s it for today friends and neighbors.
Smiling .. Cap

9 degrees, getting cooler there! What a bummer on the peanut butter .. and the yucky tuna. But, hooray for finding the Korean Spicy Tuna, a good protein source!!! Good idea to have the clean peanut butter jar to have with you in yet more searches for more. I will be hoping for success in your quest. Smiles and hugs. Patti
I-mean-to-shout the Korean Spicy Tuna is-a-find. On my way, when I publish this reply to you, to the Nomin supermarket to get more. Thanks for your on-going support it sure helps. I’m not optimistic on the peanut butter. I’ll begin by returning to the store where I got it taking with me an empty jar to show them. Much Love .. Cap
