I don't quite understand the passion for sourdough starter.
Sourdough is like frozen yogurt. It's a bread people think they enjoy, but it's also kind of a bummer.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My CSA has switched to all online ordering & curbside pickup, and they've been selling out of almost everything every week. Fortunately the chickens are still laying like crazy so we won't run short on eggs, but I miss being able to drive over and browse the farmstand.
Tonight is the last pre-planned meal of the 2-week shop! Tomorrow/Friday will be "use shit up however I can"

I was THISCLOSE to starting a sourdough starter and then I found yeast at the store.

Because books.
The Purdue Short Cuts chicken is fully cooked and bagged and can be frozen. In my store it's near ham steaks. They have different roasted flavors and they're so easy to thaw and dump into a meal.
I have to inventory what meals we have left today.

We're still eating off the mini-feast I made for Easter dinner. Tonight I'm going to use the rest of the tomato sauce I used on the lasagna on pasta and some veg from the freezer.
Our Farmer's Market here usually starts in May. I have no idea if we will still have it or not.

Our farmers' markets are closed down; they were my primary source of fresh vegetables and fruit. I miss them ... one stall is from a hydroponic grower and, even in winter, I could get really fresh salad greens and such.

We did our first Kroger run in 12 days and spent $325, which I think is the most I have ever spent at a grocery store at one time. Our limiting factor is milk; we go through a gallon every three days. (Hello, 13 year old boy.) Also fresh fruit. Kroger had everything in plenty except yeast, bread flour and also most other kinds of flour, and toilet paper/paper towels.
It was hard, somehow. Partly because I didn't eat enough breakfast, I think, but also the mask was affecting me.

The masks are hard to get used to.
I'm finding I can't keep us in bananas for long without them turning, and we run out of milk quickly too.

I really dislike the masks. I have to climb a steep hill to get anywhere and I've been finding myself unusually short of breath at the top. Then I realized that the mask was making me feel smothered and that I was re-breathing the CO2 I'd just exhaled, which didn't help.

Do you go to the one on Kenard? (Aka, The Kroger That Keeps Losing The Small Carts.) If so, were there small carts? (I'm a Northsider; we're very invested in the small carts.)
