about a 1/3 of a cup of meat. Far above gulag cuisine, but know I could stretch it even more.

This is her chance.

We always snickered when my in-laws would give us 7 year old corn, but I'm not sure I'd turn it down now.

Buy the milk that comes in cartons and lasts for 6 months on a shelf. Also, the nut milks last longer than cows' milk.

for the chicken coop. Looks like my girls might become a lot more valuable as this goes on.

Was thinking the same but we are now both home all day.

The human door to their hen house has an actual keyed lock on it. The human door to their enclosed coop does not. But I don’t think anyone can fit through the chicken sized door in between.

And our 80lb dog is alert to noises all night. He sleeps in our bedroom; the coop is visible outside the windows along one side.

So mostly I’ve decided not to worry.

And I’m totally up for baby chicks this year- if my main broody hen goes broody. I enjoyed raising day old chicks last year but I’d rather she take on the work this year. Wilco has baby chicks all summer so I should be able to tuck some under her one night.

I’ll be ready for more eggs next year. Might run out of perch space tho.

... Tuesdays and Thursdays as only for people 65 and over. I think that might be a help as that group have probably been self isolating for a long time, as a whole, and are probably less likely to be infected without symptoms. I'm going to take advantage of it. You might inquire. We saw this in some obscure news outlet.

Today a neighbor e-mailed me that she was going to the super market. Did I need anything? So I had her get me milk and OJ.

If this goes 18 months and I had to live on what we have at home now?

I'm dropping to 200 cals a day immediately and counting every nut.

at the Dollar General a block from my apartment. Got milk, grapes, a head of lettuce, couple of potatoes, an avocado and chocolate! I don't need eggs yet, since I still have a dozen in the fridge.

They even had a couple of packages of TP on the shelf!

There was no one else in the store except people stocking shelves. No line to checkout. Didn't hear anyone cough.

My freezer is packed. Between canned goods and what's in the freezer I have enough to last at least 2-3 weeks without having to make a trip to a regular grocery store.

I did make a big pot of chicken soup last week that lasted several days and I have the ingredients to do it at least 3 more times. Besides, chicken soup cures everything, right?

Hang in there!
