Cover ups ?

I got a call today from someone who said that I need to call this number to confirm a security issue with my bank. I don't trust any calls like that... so I went through the normal route via the customer number.

Once I got through, the customer rep confirmed my identity, and then mention that they need to verify something with my card. Which is good - that means it was the bank indeed had some issue - and it wasn't someone phishing for more information.

Once I had got things verified, I ask, well, why do you need to do this ? The rep quickly replied with that - there was a breach in the merchants that I had purchase product with. Then it seems that she quickly avoided all the potential questions I had and just ended the call.

What was that about ? I think there is a cover up somewhere...

Tho - I did hear a cheer in the backgroup.. perhaps she was getting ready to go participate... and party.

A tasty can of soup

I am lazy. Tho I've aspired to do many things - there was really never a urgent need for it.

Case in point - cooking. I've aspired to cook. I've used to do that, but it has lost my interest as I get busier... So I seek alternatives. And in doing so, I figure I write down my thoughts on tastiness and remember it on this blog.

Today, my alternative comes in the form of a can of soup for lunch.
Product: Campbell's Select Harvest - Light - Italian - Style Vegetable.
Notes: I've tried the Select Harvest - Roasted Chicken with Rotini & Penne Pasta. It was good but the Chicken in the can soup still tastes like Chicken in a canned soup... that rubbery, dry, tasteless bits of thing .. ugh. I don't believe I've ever been impressed by any meat in a soup from a can... somehow - the processing just sucks all the good texture and flavor out...

Today's soup - is actually quite good. Not too salty.. nice chunks of veggies. Light tasting.. has a good celery taste to it. Adding some black pepper to it (and for me - an egg to boil it with) makes the soup good. This is something I probably would get again.
