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.

We did our first Kroger run

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.)

We go through a gallon of milk in about a week. Not quickly enough to buy 2 gallons at a time. And we have limited space. The fridge is a side by side and even though the temperature is right for the rest of the fridge anything put in the bottom produce draw partially freezes so we don't really use that. The middle draw doesn't quite freeze things but it gets things a little icy.

The farmer's market here only runs in late April until end of September I think. They aren't opening yet and some of the farm's as re selling directly but right now they don't have a lot of things we eat or I'm not willing to pay the price right now.

We have 2 huge jars of peanut butter but we've barely eaten any peanut butter. I was talking to Matthew's mom about food and groceries and options and she didn't like any of the suggestions. Although she would be happy just eating corn bread and milk or pinto beans and corn bread. Although she prefers her pinto beans vs the way I make them. She does pinto beans, water, and bacon or ham. She will try some things but generally her taste is for very simple food, preferable heavy on starch and light on veggies.

I need to go to the grocery store tonight for a few things. First time in almost 2 week. I have a gallon of milk that I think is about to turn, so I'll finish that up with cereal for breakfast tomorrow. Muffins went moldy, so that's the last breakfast food I have.

Luckily, not much spoilage so far.

She can make her own food askye.

ltc is going through fruit and snack foods so fast, I can barely keep up with her. We've had groceries delivered once a week. I wish I could do every two weeks, but the fruit would definitely spoil if we ordered enough for two weeks.

If your milk goes sour, it makes good biscuits or bread, if you feel like using it up. I've done that on occasion. Also, once when the city was snowed in, in the entire milk section there was one lone quart of buttermilk; I took pity on the poor thing and took it home to make, yes, biscuits and bread.

Wow, you guys are shopping at stores stocked with toilet paper? Color me envious.

I'm going out for food today. We are out of eggs, bananas and frozen breakfast sandwiches. If I see bacon or sausages I plan to snag them.

I keep ending up with a lot of ingredients and nothing to eat?

The wooooorst!

I've been doing a good job of keeping a list of food to make and eat alongside my running shopping list. Also my supermarket has been really well-stocked with fresh produce, meat, etc., when I've been there. No frozen vegetables at all.

So now I'm going to make a bowl for lunch with carnitas (cooked weeks ago, frozen in portions), quinoa (also cooked weeks ago and frozen), kale, pickled jalapenos and that might be it. I am almost ready to go to the store!

Tonight maybe I'm going to make spinach dip out of a bunch of the baby spinach I overbought and crackers out of the flour tortillas ditto.

Toddson, is there anyone out while you are walking up the hill? If not, leave the mask off.
