We had barley risotto and chicken thighs for dinner with broccoli. The only frozen broccoli I could get from my last grocery order was broccoli with with cheese sauce, and ltc hates it. What kid hates cheese sauce?

I do not intend to have mexican food tonight. I was thinking maybe I would do a Paloma but then remembered I'm on pain pills and that's a bad plan. Oh well.

Given how I've been filled with Do Not Want today, I feel irrationally annoyed at how quickly I just made shrimp tacos with cilantro lime slaw. Making dinner was a task I didn't want to do!

Farmer's Market vendors have no shortage of meat, msbelle. And we can always store for you in our chest freezer if you feel you need to (Chesty L'Chill).

Unless you live in a food desert, I don't really understand how meat shortage is a problem? (Other than for the corporate farms and the animals they'll end up slaughtering, of course).

I had fish tacos and jalapeno margaritas. Super yum. We had a choice of chicken, beef, or mahi for the tacos. (plenty left over for lunches tomorrow) Spectacular guacamole, and they made grilled corn too. It was nice to have Tate's parents over. We ate in the backyard then moved to the driveway for sunset and more drinks. We made plans to go to the ice cream place where we can eat spread out in the parking lot for Mother's Day.

I had more of the vegan coconut curry I'm pretty sure would be served on rice, but I'm eating like a chowder. So good. Unveganized it with chicken since no protein all day. I happily watched my fav mexican food places sell out.

Besides the farmer's markets, a lot of local kosher & halal markets already work with small butchers & then of course penn Dutch, etc (I suspect a ton of crossover there, don't know.)

But then, I eat meat maybe once a week if that, so.

I'm looking at Donors Choose stuff in my neighborhood and there's one for binoculars for a bird watching project. That's great for distance learning, but what other interesting things are the kids going to be watching in high density neighborhoods?

Yeah we definitely have a lot of options for getting mest here and I know I'm privileged to have access to lots of non-meat protein options.

Like, whoever thought running to the store to grab some tp would be an issue? But people & leadership can go batshit & supply systems don't account for that.

Your nearest/only option is Walmart & it all falls down. And that's a lot of places,

I wasn't planning on it, but I probably could pull off shrimp tacos for dinner with what I have in my kitchen.

Shrift, I was going to mention that Alembic has a Cocktail Subscription plan where you can buy a week's worth of cocktails (that you pick up in cute little Mason jars).

Or you can just get a couple of pre-ordered cocktails and snacks on Weds and Friday.
