Who has been put out of work and sent home ?

[kiwigtx]

Over here in NZ, we are still in full Lockdown, and it just got extended to 5 weeks. Anyone over 70 is advised to not even go out shopping. Govt is asking a nominated family member to do their grocery shopping for them...drop at their door, and stand well clear.

I am the family shopper for ourselves, my parents and my in-laws.....both sets live within about 300yds of each other, and only one mile from my home. Our local Supermarket is less crowded than the others, as it is out of the way in the bay. I actually had to wait in line today for my shop....3 people in front...took about 5 minutes. Plenty of toilet paper here Hit & Miss on certain items - depends on what time of the day I go there.

So far, nobody I know has this virus...but looking outside, plenty of idiots are starting to wander around the streets....people that don't normally walk are finding themselves on the street. Lots of people are putting signs on their houses or teddy bears in the windows.

I'm beginning to like the peace and solitude........... able to focus without interruption

until no one is around to help hang painted fenders

Went to Costco early this morning 2 hours before they opened. There was already well over 100 people waiting in line. By the time we got in it was well over 200. My wife is a first responder so we got in before others and we’re able to get the staples we needed but they went very fast. There was plenty of food but it was the basics that were hard to come by. Tp, napkins, hand soap etc.. That stuff went like it was on fire. The govt is talking about supply line disruptions if,this continues on too long. Mostly in food stuffs. If that happens ....wow!

36 to 48 hours with a food crisis, as in no food available to buy is the window before the utter breakdown of the civil society.
36-48 hours...

Lasagne....

My first attempt, using my mom's and her mom's recipe, w/my slight modifications.
Although it was a big "batch" it didn't last long...

No just the flat sheets...trim them to size, and punch accordingly.

Lasagna sheets. harsh. Or do you cook them first?

Lasagna sheets. harsh. Or do you cook them first?

They are produced fresh and sold in chilled sealed packets. To use them, simply cut to shape, lay in a tray of hot water for a minute or so and then lay on top of your meat. Making your own gets messy, and flour is a real commodity right now.

It's semi-convenience foods....at least it's not a take-out meal, or a pre-prepared frozen TV dinner.
