The plants closing is causing me angst. I want to run out and buy chicken!

Posted by Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars (aka Epiphany) Apr 29 '20, 06:55

I have chicken in the freezer.
I didn't feel this way about TP - maybe slightly with bottled water though I got through that and I'm drinking water from our filtered frig water line.

tell me I don't need more chicken!

        years of dieting and the Keto (off/on) for a year and a half - taught me how to make more than one meal out of a dish. - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 07:31 3

        cooking for one definitely has its own set of challenges. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Apr 29, 07:48
        
        I google a shit ton of recipes, then youtube how to make stuff. You will work on it. make 1/2 the suggested amount - Pippy- Bingo Caller to the Stars Apr 29, 07:45

I have 5 chicken breasts currently. For 2 people that's 2 meals. I definitely need more chicken. -- nm - sycor Apr 29, 06:59
