Today, we hosted the Great Raisin Search and I ended up getting quite a workout in the process.

I broke quarantine to go to Sam’s Club this morning and spend $350 of our stimulus check on food. Some things were better than expected, some worse, and a few surprised me. A full report follows.

I’ve been worried about food supplies well before the coronavirus disrupted things at the grocery store. Food storage should be the foundation of your preps.

The coronavirus and the stay home stay safe movement is giving us the time we need to bake and make more meals from scratch. We're not rushing through meals, ready for the next project. It a small positive in the midst of the bad news.

It’s official: In a few hours, my wife and I will have been in quarantine for four weeks. About the best I can say is that it doesn’t suck.

We did curbside pick-up for our groceries today, and despite the three day wait, it was worth well worth it. We received more than $100 worth of groceries without entering the store or touching a cart. We only saw one person, our shopper, and she kept her distance while being very friendly and personable.

What does it say about our time in quarantine that getting mail is now the highlight of our day?

It’s been 11 days since we last got groceries and we’re completely out of fresh vegetables, so I went back to the online store...

It’s Day 16 and we’ve totally adapted to being locked in. I guess whomever it was that said it takes two weeks to make something a habit was right. I mean, I know there’s a real world out there, but I no longer miss it. I’m just grateful for my iPhone tells is or I would have no idea what day of the week it is.

We had French toast for breakfast, made with our homemade bread, and it wasn’t bad. As you can see in the photo, I let the load bake a bit too long and the crust was thicker and harder than I like. This bread would make great croutons, stuffing, or bread crumbs. But it is filling; two slices will hold you for many hours.
