One Month Later

We are still living under stay-at-home orders, seems like there is no end in sight.  On the bright side, we are both still healthy.
Mr. B walks Rusty most days, even though April has been cold and gray, with some rainy days in the early part of the month.
I had thought I would be spending a lot of time in the sewing room but that hasn’t happened.  I seem to be planning meals and cooking a lot more.  I’m also being careful about not wasting food.  I’ve always kept a pretty well-stocked pantry and the freezer is full,  but I can’t help worrying about running out.
The first weekend of the lockdown our son drove down here to get the pickup truck running (needed a new battery) and did some shopping for me at Safeway.  No eggs except for duck eggs at $1 each in a carton of six.


One duck egg is equal to 1.5 large chicken eggs but I couldn’t tell any difference in taste.  We usually have two eggs each for Sunday breakfast but I tried cooking only one each, since two in the pan would have been too crowded.  Not quite enough, so the following week I cooked two each which was really a little too much.
Son did not come in the house when he was here.  He put the groceries on a table in the garage and then stood in the driveway and talked to Mr B who was sitting in the garage.
Nob Hill market does not deliver in our area so I had placed an online pick up order.  The earliest available time slot is ten days away.
