Well, there isn't a whole lot you can do consistently to make your day happier during this unpleasantness than cooking. OK, maybe exercising, but whatever. I do that a few times a week, I eat a few times a day. The goal is to limit grocery store exposure to once a week or less.

So I've been putting plenty of food on. Nothing crazy, but for the wife's birthday we did do lamb chops and a nice heritage pork chop with asparagus from the socially distant farmers market we went to last week. (And how fucking weird is it to type that sentence.)

Done a fair bit of grilling; keeping the charcoal stocks up when I do the weekly grocery run. Steaks, chicken. Stuff you can get a few meals out of. Been using up things from the freezer like refried beans and such. Made a killer garlic yogurt sauce the other night for the grilled chicken. Quesadillas are good.

Perishable things like deli meat and vegetables need to be kept fresh and used daily. Or plan on using those soft tomatoes for sauce tomorrow night.

Haven't had too much pasta/ramen, but that time is coming. Really more of a variety thing, not dietary apocalypse.

Tonight is Asian pork meatloaf, fresh broccoli and miso mashed potatoes. We're socially isolated but eating well.

might make freezer and leftover veg beef stew in a few days. Just to make room in the freezer to be honest.

I have been running across recipes for flatbread this week. Flour, salt, water, hot cast iron pan. What could go wrong?
