    I learned that the food I historically enjoyed at local pubs/eateries really isn’t appealing at home without the booze and atmosphere of said pub/eatery.

    I often bring home a quart of Bull & Bush's green chili as take out. No slight on the establishment in any way but Im always happier with it @ home.

    Unless its brunch.

    Looking forward to them reopening.

    Amen.

    Sometimes it?s about the overall experience and ambiance.

    My favorite thing is to eat one meal in the day, usually around 3 in the afternoon. Kind of a late lunch or early dinner depending how you want to look at it. We usually do it on Saturday or sometimes Sunday. The meal typically involves cold beer on tap, an appetizer, and the meal. It?s something the wife and I typically enjoy doing once a week and if we can commute to and from the restaurant on the motorcycles then that is just icing on the cake.

    Some of the things I've learned from China-Virus-2019:

    -my neighbors still have probably-illegal maid staff come in weekly with no clue where those people have been.
    -my neighbors don't have even three days of supplies on hand.
    -my neighbors think that anyone who has supplies will obviously share and deplete their own stash so we all run out together.

    ...the list could go on.

    I have learned that our food supplies were quite adequate, but dont last as long with three growing boys. We might need to get a milk cow, as they are drinking about a gallon a day.
    Neighbors have asked about getting some ammo, which concerns me about what they suspect of me. I havent sold any yet. Neighbors are not as prepared as they drive up and down the road often. Only 5 families live above us. One neighbor is interested in buying three goats now.
    I was somewhat concerned about TP, as the shortage hit when we only had 6 rolls left from our month supply. We got lucky and found a package and are set again.
    I need to set up some solar panels and batteries for a back up to the back up generator. We have done more drying for preserving food to get it out of the freezers. We will be pressure canning more of the food to try and down size freezers.
    The pigs are very expensive to feed with the restaurant closed. They eat about 150 lbs a week. A friend has been getting one load of near expired/expired food a week and has been giving it to us. We go through it and preserve what is still good, the rest goes to the animals.
    I carry a gun everywhere now, including around the house. It might have more to do with the miuntain lions though.

    Reading that with my literal mind, I'm envisioning someone sitting *ON* their cat.
