I know plenty of folk are still doing supermarket trips, so maybe things haven't changed much. But for those having shopping delivered, it makes you think more about planning meals properly.
Not that meal plans are anything new, but folk might be doing stuff that's a little more frugal that others might like to know about.
Just done what I think is referred to as Huevos Rancheros.
1 tin of chopped Tom's 3 eggs 4 rashers of bacon (chopped)
Dry fry the bacon, add the Tom's, then pop the eggs in and allow them to cook in the pan as a fried egg (ish).
On toast, nice cuppa, that's three of us done till teatime...

You can't buy pasta, flour or yeast for love nor money either.

Took me two weeks and trips to Sainsburys, Tesco and Asda before whole plum tomato's were back on the shelves. No shortage of chopped tomato's incidentally.

If you want plum tomatoes Lidl have a pallet full at Wakefield Road but no chopped.

7 miles? You must walk fucking fast? The covidcops will Be onto you :-) You can go out for an hours exercise, so about 3 1/2 miles walk - unfortunately if you walk in a straight line it's still another 3 1/2 miles back home 😉

Yup. I can set off from my house and walk 10 miles and bump into the occasional person. But that's not the point. We ALL need to observe the rules or we will be more severely locked down as in other countries. In Germany you have to carry papers everywhere for everything. In Cyprus its £1000 fines. The government can't say "this is a nationwide rule only for people who are sensible and live in the countryside". Although sensible people in the countryside aren't going to spread this thing to one person that can't be how you frame laws.. I'm not criticising you for your walk, I'd be lying if I said I had strictly kept to one hour myself. But we really need to get our heads round this situation a bit better imo

To be fair the 1 hour thing isn't official policy at the moment it was just something Gove pulled out of the air off the cuff. It's the social distancing that's critical.

Yeah why would anyone mind if it was 1.5 or 2 hours? (apart fron the covid crank police) If people (and I've been guilty) have the attitude of "I don't need to adhere to this cos I'm. Sensible and in the country" then the whole thing is going to collapse real soon though

As I mentioned in another thread if the weather stays fine there may be an issue at Easter if too many decide it's 'their time' for excercise at once. It was interesting that the next biggest outbreak in the states after NYC was New Orleans and that was almost certainly due to no restrictions being put on the traditional February Mardi Gras there.

Just that you're only allowed out once. If it is, then I'm breaking the rules because my dogs are getting more than that. Thank goodness we have a garden that they can use for a toilet break because I have no idea how they'd be expected to hold their bladders & bowels for 23 hours otherwise.

Meal suggestions: I am yet to find a vegetable or combination of vegetables that does not work perfectly well in soups & stews.
Leftover meat? Stick it with some puy lentils, finely chopped onion & a drizzle of olive oil. Serve cold. Works with all meats, white or red. Also works with every type of fish I've tried it with as well. I'm not sure whether mixing fish with meat from birds or mammals would work, but otherwise I've found that mixing meats works pretty well too. Chicken with beef, lamb with pork, even sausages & chopped up pork pie in any combination you have to hand.
Stale bread? Make it into croutons (to go with aforementioned soup), breadcrumbs or bread & butter pudding.
This in addition to most savoury things going well in a stir fry.
Throwing away any food at all strikes me as unnecessary waste of your own time & money, ecological resources and at times like this, also increases the number of times you need to put yourself and others at risk of contracting Covid-19 by venturing out to the shops. Using up your leftovers is a no-brainer at the best of times, but especially now.

The dick said, on Andrew Marrs show last week, that were allowed out once. He then followed that up by saying he'd gone out for a jog on the saturday and then strolled to the shop later 🤔
