that we always look for any excuse to use.
Considering that it used to be two hours out, that’s a big change for some people in terms of their routines and the way they plan their meals.The other issue is that you might not get everything you ordered.
You don’t know ahead of time what kind of food shortages are going to be in your area when you actually go to pick up your order.. I’ve found that it works best to plan your special menus at least three or four weeks in advance, when possible.That way, you have a couple of chances to order things if something really important isn’t available when you go to pick up your first order.You’ll also give yourself a bit of extra time to re-plan certain menu items if you find you just can’t get what you need.. Of course, it helps if you try to make a lot of your ingredients freezable or non-perishable, so you can get them in your house well ahead of time.
Choosing simple comfort food recipes that can be made mostly out of pantry staples will definitely make your life easier.If you aren’t sure that your celebration will feel special enough, just add more variety!
A big buffet of assorted things to choose from always feels special and you can eat the leftovers for lunches and dinners for the next few days..
I feel like we’re all going to come out of this thing as experts at being prepared for anything.First of all, I have to say that I’ve basically stopped watching/reading the news almost altogether.
I’m checking it every few days now instead of once a day and I’m better off without it.I read an article somewhere that basically said “Who are we kidding?
This thing is going to go on waaaay longer than we think it is.” and that kind of sealed the deal for me.While I continue to try to focus on the good stuff and stay connected to everyone I can in a positive way, those feelings of uncertainty about what our future will look like really do a number on me.
