Had to get the cell phone fixed yesterday. The staff there (there was only one other customer) noted they were likely to come down with the virus due to the fact that phones are probably the dirtiest things we own. (I have a limited supply of wipes, and I keep them in my car. For phone, steering wheel, dashboard, door handle.) I live alone so I can be happy with my germs and cooties at home.
Cooking... figured since I was in town anyway (which is a distance from home) that I'd check out the nearby supermarket. ALL the paper goods were GONE. ALL. Junk food pasta was nearly gone (there is good pasta, but this was the Ronzoni stuff...) Rice, decimated. Water (HEY I HAVE A FUNCTIONING WATER FAUCET... or THREE? WHAT gives here unless you already need to use grocery-supplied water???) I noticed peanut butter was low.
I forgot to check the eggs, as since I raise my own, I didn't think about them. I didn't check the bread, because if I do buy bread, I buy it from a real bakery that doesn't put 30 plus ingredients into it. (I really don't NEED bread - for me it is not a staple.) I do have one package each of various types of flour, but that is simply due to being a food blogger and trying things I might not otherwise try on occasion.
Not that I was looking in specific, but I did notice that the peanut butter lane was low.
Oh. I bought coconut flakes yesterday. And a can of whole fat coconut milk. For some reason nearly all the whole fat cans were GONE and I had to look through dented cans to find one whose seams were safe to bring home. I DO have this weird urge to make a coconut recipe in a week or so... Not sure why????
One last interesting thing: When I was at one supermarket in Westfield MA on Saturday, all the self serve salad bar areas were shut down. Yesterday, in Pittsfield, the self serve wings and salad areas were in full swing.
