I really feel that I am pretty well suited to the current crisis.
I mean really, look at me. Raised in Utah by a bunch of Italian rubes stuck in the middle of Mormons. Everything I was raised for came into play in my mind lately. Economy in the shitter? Well, I am used to being poor, so the poor Italian cheapskate can come to the fore. I think Polenta and Gnocchi and Paella Italiana and fagioli are poor food. Couple this with the Mormon prepper mentality and you have cornmeal, beans and other such goodies available at any given time, with redundancy in spades.
You see, I am thinking that you had better start brushing up on your cooking chops.
Look, I think you are going to be at home for a bit. So start doing the things that will help you when the show restarts. You're gonna be poorer, best figure out how to cook cheap at home, because going out is going to be curtailed. Good food, made by hand, served at home, is a pretty good way to keep occupied and happy. Don't even think of going low fat and healthy. Make shit that makes you happy. For me, that involves pork fat.
Yeah, yeah, you might put on a couple of pounds. But hell, if this thing goes south, you will be offered more than ample chances to going on a pretty strict diet.
I would also recommend getting baked, binge-watching Marie Kondo, and home improvement efforts for the duration
