A most productive day in the shops today. I'm now re-stocked with essentials. How about the rest of you?

It depends on how one defines "essentials". Our local groceries have no meat, rice, bread, beans, potatoes, toilet paper, disinfectants, etc... I have a decent supply of fresh and frozen vegetables, bulgar wheat, flour, and corn grits.

That's just "things to eat". Essentials are whisky, chocolate, weed, .....

@Petter I’ve got chocolate and pudding! We’re good! (:

@Petter I totally agree on the whisky.

@Cyklone Being a Kenyan, I grew up appreciating the medicinal qualities of a hip flask full of broad spectrum anti-biotic and throat sanitiser.

I have plenty of good red wine, cheese and chocalate. I'm good.

My cheese stocks are fine and I still have an unopened 5 litre "barrel" of fine, French Merlot.
I also have various cured meats.

@Petter where do you live? πŸ™‚

@Cyklone I'll leave a key under the doormat. It's 1am here and I'm heading for bed.
Here's a Michelin map.

@Petter Sorry mate. I'd come on over and bring some good aussie red but the buggers won't let me out and wouldn't let me back in. We've completely shut down our borders.

@Cyklone Shame mate, I could gargle an Aussie red or two.

Saw rationing at Hannaford-a large supermarket chain. Searched high and low for a thermometer to no avail. Someone in Rite Aid suggested I order from Amazon. Ended up ordering one on email. My takeout Chinese restaurant nextdoor was open-I was the only customer where I spent $5.00 for a lunch special. 3 days or more of General Tsao's chicken, pork fried rice and broccoli. Hope they stay open.

Sadly, because my kid is now ordering my groceries... I don't want her scolding me about the chocolate I'm eating as well, and I know I need to break my sugar addiction... again, so I'm on the wagon at least for the duration. Unless I go nuts and stop by the grocery on the way too or from work. And there are vending machines in our building.

Well, to be honest our chocolate supply here has been fantastic. Didn't want to rub it in while you were suffering, though.

How about your personal "vitamin" stock?

@Petter dude, I even picked up 2 types of chocolate liquor on Thursday to experiment around with peanut butter whiskey. πŸ™‚

My "vitamins" have been legal here since 2014 - and i know a guy if that supply chain fails πŸ˜‰
