I love them, but only roasted on the grill or in the oven. Or with bacon cream sauce.Brussels sprouts are one of those foods that I just cannot be flexible on. I shudder at the thought of them...
Oooo, yummy! Care to share your recipe?Or with bacon cream sauce.
Thank goodness, I hope other stores follow. More needs to be done to protect workers! <3Hy-Vee is installing plexiglass sneeze shields around their cashiers. Oh, and you aren't allowed to bring reusable bags for now.

Yes im in usa, just worried when I see things like this that our country will follow along. I know that's silly, just worried.This is in the UK, so your health systems may be entirely different? You're in the States aren't you?
You're right, thank you for your kind words.Easy to say but try not to. You need to be looking after your mental and physical health through this. *hug*
Wow! I was talking to a German tourist this past weekend. She had planned to stay in Korea for 3 months and got here right before it hit, so all of her friends who were going to come later canceled and she was planning to leave early. I wonder if she is getting on one of these flights. Korea probably would've been a priority a couple of weeks ago, but we're not on lockdown, so I'm sure priorities are elsewhere. She might be better off sticking around.It depends on the country. Germany hasn't closed its airports because they're trying to get up to 100,000 people back home. So many commercial flights have been cancelled that people are stranded in countries going into lockdown.
Coronavirus: German government to fly home tens of thousands of tourists
I stand corrected (again -- not an uncommon occurrence). I saw a report about a small town in Italy where they tested everyone in town, and isolated all those who tested positive even if they weren't showing symptoms yet. A month later (I may have the length of time wrong) they tested everyone again, and again isolated all those who tested positive. And the next time they tested there were no positive results. They haven't had a single case since.Wouldn't work, even if we had the test kits available. It appears that the tests can easily produce false negatives for people who aren't showing symptoms yet.
Yes, we need a better test. No, we don't have it, at least, not yet.
Oh, goody! (Snark.) Seriously, though, stay safe.In other news, we finally got emergency notifications for something other than Covid today! Typhoon-force winds!
Excellent idea!One hint I do have for you though is to check the store’s shop back area. When there are quantity limits the extra stuff in people’s carts gets put in an area for reshelving. I have found some things not on the shelves in these bins.
That's incredibly good news!Today in the span of 4 hours we had people from various churches stop and ask if we needed food. They were accompanied by the police so that no one would panic and assume that they were scams. Maybe churches in other areas will do the same thing.
I have to say my new police force has really gone over and beyond since the new Bel Ridge police chief came two years ago and have monthly donuts with cops program where you meet with them at local shop for free coffee and donuts and ask questions. With the new coronavirus, they are dropping off coffee and donuts for all citizens this weekend. Crime here has dwindled as a result. I'm talking about my suburban village, not the entire St. Louis area. They even look out and protect the feral cats in the area and make note of which cat belongs in which colony.
I can see that we'll need to take you in hand, give you some proper lessons in selfishness. (Snark, again.)There were actually some packs of white rolls left which is what I needed anyway so I'm good (1 pack of 6, I'm not hoarding correctly lol).
My neighborhood has two grocery stores (not counting the little convenience shops associated with gas stations) - a King Soopers (Colorado version of Kroger) and a Safeway. King Soopers is the larger store, with better coupons usually, so they're also the store that's been shopped out. When I went to Safeway a couple days ago I was able to get a four-week supply of cat food for Bright Eyes without even coming close to depleting their supply, and they also still had cat litter. I bought a single box (because that's how much I need for the next little while), though I could have bought more.In our area, the small neighborhood grocery stores are currently better stocked than the bigger chain grocery stores (like Safeway, Whole Foods, etc) and also less crowded.

Thank you! Thankfully my job has sent us home, so most of my family is home. I try not to stress, it just gets to me sometimes.Margret
- It's not silly. We seem to be following the same curve in the U.S. as Italy, just about three weeks behind them.
- It is, however, counterproductive. Because we're about three weeks behind Italy, we're able to learn from Italy's experience, and minimize the danger for ourselves and our families. So instead of worrying, try to look at all the things you're doing to keep safe, and think whether there's anything else you can do. Use it to stimulate your problem-solving ability rather than to keep you awake at night worrying.
- This would probably be a good time to binge watch Simon's Cat videos on YouTube, or take up a new hobby (especially if you can get the supplies by mail order and they're supplies that can easily be sanitized), or to catch up on reading all those good books you've been collecting to read "someday." Someday has arrived!
That is similar to the approach Korea took. When the cult thing happened, they forcibly got a list of every member and tested them (I mean, that has other implications, but in this situation was justifiable) and everyone in the cult was sent to self-quarantine regardless since members are known to frequent different congregations; and then again when it happened at a call center. Everyone got tested on all floors of that specific business and everyone in the building went into self-quarantine.I stand corrected (again -- not an uncommon occurrence). I saw a report about a small town in Italy where they tested everyone in town, and isolated all those who tested positive even if they weren't showing symptoms yet. A month later (I may have the length of time wrong) they tested everyone again, and again isolated all those who tested positive. And the next time they tested there were no positive results. They haven't had a single case since.
