The Plague Diaries - Day 2 - The COVID-19 Homestead

We have a multi-prong plan:

Send your husband to the store with a list. Because, obviously, if there's more than one of you, only one should brave the outside world full of door handles and elevator buttons and people licking things. 

Buy this kind of soy milk, Tom! Not the Silk stuff with all the artificial crap that comes in a plastic bottle! Even in the apocalypse we can save the world from unnecessary plastic. 

Luckily, all the hoarders at the Westside Market seem to have overlooked the old WestSoy. Ha ha, more for us, all you amateurs in the dairy free aisle!

Buy the one that looks like this, Tom!

Breaking out the trail mix my Pop gave me for Valentines Day:

He buys the ingredients from an Amish lady.
Cheap.

Then I really got serious and decided to dehydrate carrots. Little carrots and big carrots. We will not get scurvy or glaucoma, is all I can say.

Carrots on their way to immortality.

Last night, I made almond rosemary crackers. They are amazing if I do say so myself. They may not last very long. Probably the best kind of food for longevity purposes is food that doesn't really taste that great. That's my hypothesis.

A poor food for the long haul.

Then I got super inspired and remembered I had sprouting seeds and a fancy sprouting container. You might call this whole set up my Victory Garden.

Beans sprouts shall be mine in 5 days!

 We also purchased some basil seeds. Basil is essential in all emergencies and any half decent homestead. I will plant the seeds in a pot, but maybe tomorrow. I'm exhausted from staying home all day.

A critical supply item.
