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.

msbelle-- I did point out we had lots of peanut butter. I wasn't upset by it more like mildly exacerbated, kind of shake my head and think "of course".

Today has already been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Was anxious this morning, calmed down, then we discovered the trash wasn't collected. Although it was our fault, they changed the rules that all trash in the bin has to be bagged and Matthew either didn't know or forgot and put a pillow in there. This caused Matthew's mom to get anxious about what the neighbor will say and he was in his garage so I called over to him and explained what happened and gave him a heads up the trash can will be over full this one week and he gave a thumbs up. Now we just have to bag the pillow and make sure everything will fit in the trash can next week.

And my stimulus money is in my account. So I'm less stressed about unemployment. I mean I am still worried but thanks to the help I've received this month and the stimulus check if the whole process takes longer I should be ok or at least it's a major anxiety that has been relieved

msbelle, there are always dog walkers ... they'll often cross the street to avoid me (mask or no), but I keep it on, if only to show that I'm trying. I'm coming in to the office every day, since I can't work from home. I do get things done, although I'm far from busy. My main contribution is to work with our accounting department to process and deposit checks that come in (yes! paper checks!).

One thing others might want to be aware of - I saw (somewhere) an item about how in offices/buildings that are empty, any water is stagnating. I've gone through our office and run water through our office coffee maker, emptied the reservoir for our CEO's Keurig machine and I keep the door of our office dishwasher open to prevent mildew. So ... don't know if anyone has an office where that might be applicable, but it's something to consider.

Of course, if stagnant water is in the climate control system, we may be in for a bunch of people coming down with legionnaire's disease (aren't I just a little ray of sunshine?).
