Ricotta is actually a great and versatile cheese and if you don’t want to actually cook because of the heat can make some nice chilled dishes or substitute for things

Lysol spray is better. I got a few cans of this, but it it nearly impossible to get anymore after the news came out that Lysol spray could actually kill Covid-19 in a few seconds.

It's sad when the highlight of your day is getting a can of Lysol. Thank you, Donald Trump.

yogurt, milk, (buttermilk, cream)
tortillas (corn and flour)
canned salsa (el pato), tomatoes, tuna
fresh baby spinach, carrots, onions, cherub tomatoes, 3 or 4 bags of premade salads, pile of chiles - green, jalepeno, poblano etc
bananas, frozen berries (unless fresh are cheaper, then get those and toss in the freezer) other fruit/vegs that look good - watermelon, peaches etc
meat and fish/shrimp

misc frozen "fast" food for microwave lunches


this is a "normal" list for a week to 10 days. big shopping is more.

but a couple things help - hate shopping and just want to get out of there fast so it is mostly rim around the store which does tend to be the healthier, whole foods and I'm too cheap to feed the household yummy premade crap. trust me, there is highly likely to be a run to the drive-through after the shopping because who wants to make lunch or dinner after shopping?

I miss the grocery store actually. I've been ordering online and miss the people. My parents used to live across the street from our local gricery store and i was in there shopping once a day for the longest time. It felt like France where you shop and chat every day.

meat, fruit and veggie, backery and cheese stores. I promised myself when i got home to ottawa i would shop for fresh food every day. But the food is not as fresh in north america. In each of those little stores in Paris the owner would personally know their suppliers and get stuff from the south of france every day. But it is fun to shop and get the freshest stuff you can. I miss it. I find the delivery people do a good job of picking good stuff. I use Instacart during this COVID crisis because i am in a vulnerable category for complications.
