Food

I started this post last week or so.  Having enough food and such.

I am not one to have lots of food.  I shop by a list.  I create a list by a menu.  And my menu usually only covers 4 days.

So on my way home from my work trip 2 weeks ago I knew I needed food.  I wasnt sure what I would find at the store.  I stopped halfway home in a small down and did a quick pickup of non perishables.  Soup, pasta, bread, peanut butter, crackers.  Nothing too healthy but basics if the stores near my home were bare.

When I got home I did another run.  I got a whole lot of stuff.  Fruit. Vegetables. Chicken. Salmon. Bone broth. Frozen vegetable. Frozen meals.

It felt good to have so much food in the house.

I felt like I quickly ran out.  Or maybe the news made me nervous I was going to run out.  So on Thursday of week 1 I went to the store first thing in the AM.  I was so happy to see all the fresh fruit and veg available.  I stocked up I was so excited.  Napa cabbage. Potatoes. Tomatoes. Zucchini. Mushrooms. Grapefruit. Green beans.  Peppers. Onion.  Good stuff.
The meat section wasnt so overflowing. I grabbed a corned beef (which prompted me to circle around and get a cabbage and more potatoes). Andouille sausage.  Frozen burgers.  
And then some silly non essential non perishables.. frozen pizza, ice cream, frozen meals, wine.

I am about 10 day out and still have a good amount of food.

Those cabbage type veg stay a good while.
