Ah, but someone here claims to be vegetarian yet they eat fish. ;) Jill |

Of course I've heard of food and other rationing. I used to have somew old ration tokens. Not sure where they came from. My dad gave them to me. > WWJD during a real crisis that required real rationing, say World War > II...the mind boogles, lol...bet she'd be out there hamstering on the > black market... What we have here is not government rationing but stores limiting what we can buy. Not all of the stores are doing it but the ones around here are. We are supposed to stay within a mile of our house. There are no grocery stores that close to me. I did go about 6-7 miles away to shop. The prices are much cheaper there. |But I feel safe to do so, because... https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/35532-washington-sheriff-refuses-to-enforce-lockdown-orders-cites-constitution-and-gov-inslee-s-leadership |

I can wait for our home grown . >I was able to get a little fresh meat today, but mostly more frozen/prepared >food. I swear I am baffled by these shortages I'm reading about. What the heck goes on in American grocery stores, anyway!?! I went grocery shopping this morning at 11:30. The produce section was well-stocked and the quality of everything was fine. Lots of various kinds of meats. Lots of paper products, including toilet paper. The shelves of cleaning products (lysol, bleach, etc) were full. Breads and other baked stuff was plentiful. There was flour, though not a lot of different brands. (I usually buy the no-name stuff, and there was lots of that.) Beans? Check. Canned and frozen vegetables? Check. Dairy? Check. The only thing I noticed that was in short supply was Haagen-Dazs ice cream. There were only a few different types. I wanted the caramel cone explosion flavour, but had to settle for either vanilla, coffee, or chocolate peanut butter. Waaaah! I don't LIKE those kinds! ALL of the grocery stores I go to are like that, including Costco. I never go to WalMart because it's too crowded. There are very few line-ups where I shop. There is one particular thing that is in short supply here in Alberta. Cats. I wanted to get a cat when we got home from our vacation last month, but all the shelters are out of them. Apparently EVERYONE decided to get a cat to keep them company during the lock-down. No cats to be found. Doris |

That way if one store is out of something, the other person might be able to get it at their store. Winco did have paper towels but her car isn't very big and took her friend shopping because she has no car. |

I love brown rice! I just don't digest it well so normally eat white. J prefers the brown. As for the pork, yes, you can find that. But... The only pork we like is bacon. Both of us ate a lot of pork when we were growing up and just don't like it. So no sense in buying it. |

To read that garbage she posts you'd think the folks there are on the verge of turning cannibalistic. If she is having trouble finding food it's because she can't get her lazy ass out of the bed and go early in the day when shelves are pretty much stocked. And that blatant LIE, yes a plain old lie, that they're only 'allowed' to shop every two weeks and they're not 'allowed' to just go for milk or eggs is just a bald-faced lie. |

Who the heck is keeping track of how many times you go to the grocery store? I'd like to know how they're doing that. Jill |

She's been doing it for > years. Nothing ever goes right in the crooked little house in Bothell. I eat very little. If it were just me here, no problem. But I have a very active male who lives here and easily eats five times what I do. And while he is keeping up *my* yard, gardeners are considered non-essential so are not allowed to work for pay. He has been spending much of his time working with his goats, doing repairs and things related to them. He can't make money now. Neither of us have gotten our stimulus checks and he has not yet gotten the small business loan he applied for. He does have another business that he started at the end of last year. He was going to try to get food from the food bank but I asked him not to. The last time he did that, he got all sorts of weird types/cuts of frozen meat and things like cakes. Neither of us eat cake. Then there is the fact that food banks are out of food. |

No Room in the freezer for them but they hold maybe 11-13 lbs apiece with tamping down. It stays cool in the basement for the flour, though. I have these containers because I used to have so many different flours and grains for breads. There is just the two of us now, so I cannot go through all that variety these days. Now the containers are just stacked on a shelf. I am glad they came in handy. I do have Clayton, but I make a Jewish style rye based loosely on Beranbaum and Leader, I believe. Old, old books, all of them. |

I've found Leader to be a bit cavalier with his recipes. I have, inter alia, Maggie Glezer's Blessing of bread but I very rarely make a rye bread, I just add a little rye flour to my WW and SD breads. |

I rarely see raccoons here, though I see tracks in the snow or in the dirt, and I see lots of dead ones by the the road. What is more common than seeing them, even dead ones, is raccoon fights right across the road from us. I like to sleep with the windows open when it's reasonably warm out. For some reason the little beggars seem to want to have turf wars less than 100ft from my window. |

It's also easy to keep raccoons, and other preditors, Are the raccoons in your neighbourhood retarded? If there is something on the other side of a fence that a raccoon wants it will get it. The only reason your dim witted raccoon did not outsmart your fence was that there was not something tempting enough on the other side. The city of Toronto spent a lot of money to procure raccoon proof green bins but the critters figured it out. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2018/08/30/toronto-built-a-better-green-bin-and-oops-maybe-a-smarter-raccoon.html |

Despite seeing tracks, scat and road kill I rarely see critters like foxes, coyotes and raccoons. My son went to Montreal for school and lived there for about 10 years and then moved to Toronto. His first week in Toronto he say a fox, a coyote and several raccoons. |

Shotgun with #6 shot, rabbit/squirrel loads usually works good. You don't need magnum #4 loads like turkey,or duck loads. |
