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?).

They had to put a fence up around our county nursing home. Apparently one of th residents opened a window to a visitor. JFC. COME ON PEOPLE!

SERIOUSLY.

Sun is setting down, post-passover challah dough (my first try! well, as an adult) is rising. I've got 4-5 other tasks for tonight to complete, but then I'm finished. Only problem: I'm starting to feel out of spoons and Can't Evens.

I go through a lot of milk for a single, childfree person who doesn't drink milk. But I make yogurt and eat that for breakfast most days, and that uses about two quarts every 10 days or so. The rest goes into coffee, mashed potatoes, etc.
