I think I am preparing for a zombie apocalypse

In the past week I have joined Walmart +, Cookunity and Wildgrain. I swear I am not worried about having enough food, my cupboards and freezers are overflowing. Was I just hungry?? I got a delivery from Walmart with a large package of chicken breasts which I have turned into Korma chicken, Garlic honey chicken and chicken pot pie farfalle. It is cold out, I seem to be making a lot of comfort food. lol We have a major snow event coming tonight 6-12 inches is predicted. When I told my best friend about my craziness she is the one who said I am preparing for the zombie apocalypse. She suggested we head to her sons house and bring the food, he has the weapons to protect us. We had a good laugh. Now I would like to do a mini review of cookunity and wildgrain. Cookunity meals come all prepared and fresh. You can warm them in the oven or microwave. The first box was 50% off. I got beef short ribs, chicken schnitzel, chicken Tikka masala, and Salisbury steak. They come with sides and I have to admit, I was impressed, they are restaurant quality. I can't wait for Monday for my next delivery. Wildgrain is artisan bread and pastries that come frozen and you bake them yourself. SO far I tried a cranberry walnut bread and some crispy rolls, Both excellent. I have chocolate croissants, French bread, snickerdoodles, and more to still try. I know its been a long time that I have been missing. I am still hibernating and trying to adjust to the reality that Al is gone. I did go on a 14 day cruise this fall with some friends. I got a great deal on a single and so we did back to back to Quebec and then back. I paid less than $2000 for the whole thing including insurance, internet, discounted excursions and specialty dining. I went up to Vermont two weeks ago to be with my sister in law when she had a heart procedure up at the university of Vermont medical center. lol went well and it was good to get away for a week. We have added my grandson's Shibu inu to our dogs so we have four now. Three of them think sleeping with me is the way to go. lol it gets a little crowded at times. I just got my cortisone shot in my knees yesterday so I will be pain free for a while. I still haven't sold the Florida house, I am undecided and I just had to put a new roof on down there a few months ago. My girl friend and I were laughing about me having a roof over my head since I replaced the roof on my main home just a year ago and even the cottage has a relatively new roof. I guess I am safe though we have had terrible weather in PA and a huge branch hit the side of the cottage. I filed an insurance claim and we will do the repair in the spring. When I was in Vermont, I went to TJ Maxx with my sister in law and I saw a small Kate Spade handbag for $29. I couldn't resist. I am so bad!!! I can't wait to check out all of your posts to find out what you all have been up to. I will try to be a more reliable friend.

It is so great to read a post of yours. Your life is so full and rich, that when you post, although it has been a while, it is always full of fun things to read. We are getting a snow event tonight too. Ours just started within the last 25 minutes, we are only forecasted to get 10 cm, but I wonder since it is coming down pretty heavy since it started. Oh well, worst case scenario, I will rest and recharge as I had a bug last week and am still feeling under the weather.

So sorry to hear that you are not feeling well, we have been lucky here so far this winter. There is a lot of flu around though. How are the beautiful twins? They must be getting so big.

@BelleStarr Thank you, I have to get this bug out of me. I will try to drink alot of water tomorrow. The girls just turned 3 a week ago. They are just the sweetest littles on earth-I'm sure that every grandparent says that. Here is a picture of them from their birthday party.

@BelleStarr I recently got negative reports from two cancer tests, so I'm very thankful to God for that. I bet you all are enjoying all that yummy food. I'm thinking about making a pudding cake/cobbler that my mother used to make. The chocolate ones are too chocolaty (if there is such a thing!), but this has a white cake with chocolate sauce.

It's been hard to go on all my social media, groups, sites etc. with so much going on or interruptions. It's really nice to see you here. Your meals sound so delicious. I'm trying to get back to fresh cooked. It's not easy. I'd love to get the deliveries again but with four of us, it's not enough. Not with big eaters.

Yes the crockpot is much more practical for big appetites. Thank you, I'm glad to be back.

@BelleStarr My son and I are going to meal prep some chicken, jar salads and other meals. Maybe in the future we can try a subscription again.

It sounds like you are kicking up your heels and enjoying what life has to offer, not that anything will replace your departed hubby, but having fun with friends and family is food for your soul.You go girl!

That is nice I must remember to set up food larder but right now, everything is so convenient and we seldom cook so there is not a chance that the food will not be expired if the zombie apocalypse does not come or worse given the intensity of population in my country, I will likely to be bitten faster than anything and be one of the zombie.

Yup, I decided I wanted to do it before I had any leaks. We have maybe 5 inches of snow and more is due later this week. Yes we are up to four now, all so sweet.
