Venison meatballs stuffed with mozz. cheese along with Italian sausages over fresh pasta.

Sigh. Wish me luck. I gotta venture to the store and liquor store. I don't wanna .

I'm so glad your travels are going relatively smoothly (knock on wood). I was worried about gas stations etc. being closed. I guess the plus side is that gas is a lot cheaper now. I think Ronnie told me it was $1.50 a gallon around here. Not that we're going anywhere lol.

Fried chicken for Sunday dinner

I don't strain.

OMG Kay. I had no idea that tornado was so close to where you live now. Bless you and your family. Yep, I said the same to Ronnie earlier...had the mall etc. not been closed the loss of life could have been really bad. We are all in this together. (((hug)))

I've lost my appetite too. I always thought I was a stress eater, but both this and another earlier problem (just for me and Ronnie) has taught me that is not true. Bad thing is, my appetite for wine has upped....

That's so nice Kerry, I think of you often and I hope you're taking care and have enough PPE (Covid19 has really upped my vocabulary game). Thanks for all you do.

I wasn't sure where to post this...gardening thread or the preserving thread or here. Chose here. All of the people that can and need jars and/or bands and lids might consider purchasing now. I've noticed that on Amazon it's 3rd party sellers and not Amazon that have them and prices have gone WAY up. Edited to add...just like TP I'm afraid of a shortage in prime canning time.....I just want all of my EG friends to have enough supply to preserve their hard garden work. Edited again to add that it looks like Walmart online has some at a decent price.

Just came in from planting yellow, white and red onions along with red potatoes and Yukon gold taters. Oh and some lettuce (old seeds we will see if they grow) and Pak Choi (experiment, never planted it before...might be too hot already here).

Wow. That is sad.

Food stealers ? Corn hoarders?

Think of them as a deterrent. Like mothballs. 🤷‍♀️

You can bet @liuzhou won't be breaking into your house. Throw in the GBP's and you'll rule out a whole bunch more.

I've set it up to record

Hatch chile and pork enchiladas last night. Mine is the one with the salad. Ronnie opted out of the greenery lol.

Made another loaf of 100% whole wheat bread from Serious Eats. I figure now is a great time to ramp up my bread game.

I know you're not. But I still feel bad for you and everyone that isn't finding things they want and/or need.

Ugh. I'm so sorry Anna. I keep thinking that people will stop buying so much and supply will catch up with demand, but every day I wake up to see I'm wrong about that. My mother in law just called to talk--all talk was about the virus. She is shocked at how little is on the store shelves. I understand completely now why Ronnie's dad had cases and cases of soap.

Get it out. I promise, it's easier than you think. And it's so good. And like you said, it's a perfect time to mess around in the kitchen.

You deserved an easy meal! Going out now is triple stressful trying to stay away from people. And the wiping down of all purchases. All I do is imagine little corona viruses all over everything. Then my anxiety goes even higher.

These plantains have provided some much needed diversion in this house 🤣

More homemade pasta and never-ending ox tail ragu

Plantain update: Ronnie was extremely skeptical. He insisted that they are bananas...he said "Why would the store have a sign that says BANANAS if they aren't?" I told him to slice an end off and then he could go ahead and tell me that everyone on EG was right and he was wrong lol. He did so this morning. Definitely a plantain 🤣

Chris, you haven't posted in forever! Glad you're back. Please continue. We all need inspiration from each other. Pizza looks awesome.
