The mask logic we're getting is that the (fabric, non-medical) mask isn't to protect the wearer from getting the virus, it's to keep the wearer who may not realize they already have the virus from spreading it to others.

Kroger now has a person cleaning carts full-time, and they're supposed to be in the process of installing physical barriers at checkout lanes in every store, but they announced that two weeks ago and still haven't made it to ours.

The luxury store I like to go to have put down markers and made their lanes one-way, to keep people from bunching together.

Yes that's right. They possibly help a little bit to block particles expelled by the wearer. But the wearing of cloth masks it isn't really proven to significantly reduce the spread and is not specifically recommended by the World Health Organisation.

You guys buy a lot of food, we are living from freezers. Shopping consists of milk bread cream etc, and a few veges. I'm making chicken and pumpkin risotto for tonight. Everything is here.

We eat all of it, we barely waste anything. . Guess we just eat a lot.
 
Windigo - I think it was your previous list where I said I love seeing all the exotic (to me) purchases - this time, I can say, I'd buy everything on your list, apart from the livers, and I've got some cream and buttermilk sat out now, turning into creme fraiche as I type. :)

From my list, we've already used the cube steak and the carrots.
 
Not buying, but want to buy. Looking for someone that sells root ginger in oil. I've Googled but keep getting results for ginger oil.
If all else fails I could make some, I would imagine it is just ginger chopped and kept in oil for a week or two?

I may be best to use this but just chop the ginger finely rather than puree it?

Only my opinion but I would suggest that the recipe quotes bottled ginger (in oil) for folks who don't have access to fresh ginger.

I use a chopper (Phillips) to either finely chop ginger (dry) or puree it (with water or oil).

I do the same with garlic.

Yes, I guess you're correct. It's silly, I know, but I do have difficulty with substituting ingredients. I'm a nerdy geek and a bit of a pedant which stands me in good stead for my career but can be a pain in the bum at other times.

Living in the middle of nowhere (as I do) requires a lot of adaptations of recipes to use ingredients which are available. In saying that though, many more commodities were becoming available until this year's virus scare.

I've never ever heard of ginger in oil. Ginger oil, yes but not preserving ginger in oil. Can I ask what this recipe is for and where it comes from?
