I ran out of crushed red pepper two and a half weeks ago!

that is a staple ingredient for me, and when I went to the store they were out, probably because it's a staple for everybody.

so I am using various other red peppers in my cooking instead??

I have had no trouble finding toilet paper but crushed red pepper flakes and farro have been weirdly difficult

I can’t find yeast or Italian seasoning anywhere

i could not find lactose free milk for like two weeks and it was so annoying

yeast

i cant find anything but SUBPAR CHEESE

yeast is so hard to find these days

i went to the grocery store this morning and all the sugar was gone except for one thing of it

also, the beans... i went to grab a bunch of refried beans... i guess i was lucky to get like 4 cans???

not the la croix

that's why I took the picture

running low on la croix

i watched a flock of white frat boys walk past me today, and they had a full cart of la croix

thank you california

Oh canned tomatoes too, and corn

that's so interesting that yeast is out of stock now but toilet paper is just low in stock. i guess people are baking bread

we're out of yeast around here too, but the real problem is my mother trying to support the local bakery, so our freezer is stuffed to the gills with frozen loaves of bread

people are probably like "TIME FOR A BAKING PROJECT" which I understand

but otoh I can't see myself having the patience to wait for bread to rise

I have been baking a lot

i've been baking a lot too but it probably helped that i had a big jar of yeast already

(I mean I could. I went through a phase where I made my own bread a few years ago.)

oh hard same, but its just fun to go in there and see rows of bread sandwiched arond like, three bottles of vodka -- OH THAT'S THE OTHER STRUGGLE

the state stores are closed, and i don't drink beer -- so even if the beer distributors are fine, i'm doomed

(otoh, I have trader joe's frozen croissants, which are terrific)

i couldn't find chickpeas at the store today

chickpeas and frozen broccoli

or grated parmesean cheese

they had shredded tho

HAHA I'm glad I don't drink

very weird I've had no problem finding cheese

I ran out of pepper

It's very upsetting

r.i.p.

the chickpeas i stood in the canned beans aisle for a sollid three minutes just going really?? to myself

I am out of garlic as of yesterday… how long will I be able to go without it.

because every other kind of bean was available

my real dilemma, Penzey's is closed so I had to go back to buying store spices

I have been doing a lot of baking lol

having p much no yeast I began making many cookies

flour is also thin on the shelves tho

i'm like actually probably gonna run outta food before i'm allowed out of quarantine bc the food boxes i ordered have all been lost

wtf??

whoa that's butts

for whatever reason the bbq sauce is gone literally everywhere

NO GRAINS........

I haven't been able to get BARLEY

and the milks are inconsistent

I'm doing ok tho it's my cats who SUFFER

hahah I couldn't find farro so I got this fancy barley instead

but now I am out of BOTh

nooo

I'm almost out of farro but I found a box of kasha in my cabinet

after the first PANIC STOCK UP we really haven't had trouble finding much because I'm planning my recipes weekly around a bunch of flexible ideas and when husband goes to the store if he can't find stuff he texts me and I adapt

we've had a hard time getting yeast and calrose rice

at this point I'm sure it must be supply chains, not hoarding

my nearest grocery had yeast behind the customer service counter like it's sudafed and people are making meth by the tons

In the UK yeast is more valuable than gold but we can now freely wipe our butts again
