Ok, so here are a few (non-amazon) sites that I’ve been using to help keep businesses running and me here at home. BLESS THE EMPLOYEES OF ALL DELIVERY SERVICES! I bow down to your bravery and service. I finally managed to get all purpose flour from our local bakery (Upper Crust). They are doing local deliveries once a week and if you are on their mailing list you get notified as soon as they announce a delivery date. They have been out of yeast and all purpose flour for weeks (although they have had several… Read more >

Big breasts. Never in my life have a seen bigger breasts than these. You can hardly tell from the photo but they were HUGE. I cut them into big chunks and as you can see it filled my largest skillet. This is a 13 inch pan! I seasoned them with teriyaki sauce and sauteed them on high heat.

My first trial run was cooking a whole chicken (which I got from our Farm Fresh to You CSA!). Normally I would have to wedge this in and it would be a huge… Read more >

FYI, in case you were considering it, I am thrilled by Farm Fresh to You. They delivered these three boxes (two of produce + one of meat/grains/dairy) while I was on my run! At 7 am!!! It is a VERY good feeling to start the day with a fridge and counter full of fresh produce. I spent the morning cleaning and chopping and prepping and getting everything organized. And unlike imperfect foods (which I am still doing as well), I got every. single. thing. I ordered! RICE GLORIOUS RICE! This was the thing I was… Read more >
