dehydrator – 72 inches Apart

Day 20 Just Say Thank you

Everyday my USPS mail person delivers mail and packages to me. Our garbage collectors show up twice a week to pick up our trash. UPS, Amazon and FedEx delivery are also getting bring us the supplies we ordered.

Today, I printed a sign to thank these people. It’s a simple gesture to let them know that my family appreciates what they are doing for us.

Thank you to all of the supermarket workers, trucker drivers, transit workers, doctors,nurses, EMS workers, mechanics, police, fire,reporters, politicians, health aides, caregivers, pharmacies, gov’t employees. I probably missed a hundred folks.

Day 19 April 1st

Given the most recent projections for deaths in the US and the spike in the Northeast, it looks like the shelter in place order is going to be with us for at least 90 more days! If you’re like millions of folks and found yourself unprepared for a social emergency, don’t worry you can start preparing now.

Here are two things that I purchased on Amazon that are handy to have. A dehydrator, this kitchen tool helps you preserve fruit and vegetables. Depending on the model you select, I went with an under $40 model, you will be able to dry fruits and vegetables, fruit roll-ups, and even meat-based jerky’s. If you have kids, they will love helping prep the food, and they love being the first to try the finished products.

The second item was a vacuum sealer. There are a few items that you won’t want to dehydrate, but still want to preserve. Depending on your budget, you can find vacuum sealer, some use bag systems and others can vacuum items in jars. For the wine connoisseur, some systems will vacuum seal your wine bottles.

The goal here is to minimize wasting food. I hope this helps! #staywell #staysafe

Day 14 Game Night

The highlight of the day was family game night. The game, Monopoly. My youngest wiped everyone out and loved every second of it. Sometimes its good to sit down and play a board game.

We also played a few games of Jenga! Oddly enough no one wants to play me in Scrabble.
