  • Keep your head up folks! Just wanted to drop these easy and quick to make meals that you can make with canned food like green beans, or canned beans. Things that also count as staple foods like rice, potatoes, tortillas, flour, etc. There's a ways to make all the things taste amazing, and I'm hoping to help a little with that.

    On a more serious note though: I'm a cook in a restaurant. I know grocery stores are sold out of everything, but restaurants are not. Me and my staff have literally spent the past few days trying to process all of our perishable food to freeze it so we don't end up throwing everything away. Resturaunt staff are taking this seriously everything is being sanitized, cleaned, gloves, the whole 9 yards. If you do need food and your grocery stores are sold out I highly recomend you call your favorite local restaurant and ask if you could buy some bulk/family style meals from them, or even just some raw ingredients. Local small business restaurants arereally going to suffer over the next few weeks. I'm 100% serious I think any locally owned restaurant would be thrilled to sell you 24 eggs, a whole pallet of bread, and 10 lbs of ground beef if you asked.
    If you have any friends working in the resturaunt industry or you're a regular at a pizza joint- NOW is the time to capitalize on that relationship. Yes, the grocery store is out of rice, but the sushi restaurant down the street has about 400 lbs sitting in their Kitchen, and they're going to close because they can't sell any food.

      @NasTroy they’re not asking people to come and sit down and eat. I presume buying meals in bulk implies delivery, and coming to a restaurant to buy ingredients is no different than going to a grocery store, except that fewer people go to the restaurant so it’s safer

      Well in my area the Latin supermarket is depleted.
      -------
      Update (4/2): Well the eggs and some paper stuff are back, but milk is in short supply 🤔. I guess the cows just gave up 😂 ! We had many different brands (3) of milk, but the more expensive “Crystal Creamery” is the only option 😔. For the price of one gallon Crystal I can get a 2-pack at Costco! But getting into Costco is ridiculous!!!
      Signs everywhere saying: “Limit one per customer”. The signs were up nearly from the beginning.
      -------
      Update 3/22: The meat counter was nearly full, unlike 4 days ago when it was depleted. Today some degree of normalcy has returned. Still out of paper stuff and eggs(?) tho 🤣.
      A trip down the aisles gives an interesting take on human behavior.

Cooking is easy when you have tons of fresh ingredients and can plan a trip to the grocery store to get the ingredients you need for a recipe. It's quite a bit harder when you've run out of fresh ingredients, and you have mostly canned/dried/frozen ingredients.

    Life hack: If you want faster congee, wash and drain the rice then toss it in a freezer! When you want congee, just bring some water to a boil and put some of the frozen rice into the pot, stirring it until cooked to your desired consistency. It cooks so much faster because you're essentially giving it freezer burn before cooking. Only takes about 15 minutes to get a nice hot bowl of congee if you do it this way :)

      Put in a pan garlic and onion and chili flakes and 1 anjovi and a few small tomatoes and some capers (all cheap bulk foods) add canned tuna and pasta and a little lemon juice (you can do concentrate) and pepper. Delicious! If you have more money you could top it with some cheese but this isnt necessary. Another one: fry some onion and garlic. Put a can of tuna and some light cream cheese in a blender till it's a sauce. Add to the pan with some lemon en chili en serve over pasta.
      Another one: pasta with pesto, cherry tomatoes and rocket salad.
      Another one: cook some rice. In another pan add onion and garlic and curry pasta and after a while add coconut milk (if this is too expensive you can buy coconut concentrate and just add some stock/bouillon or water) add some frozen broccoli or other veg and a can of chickpeas! Done

    Made the focaccia and the congee!!!! Thanks for inspiration and the recipe! It turned out amazing. I did herbs instead of tomatoes for the bread. For the congee I did dashi and broth and added garlic, green onion, and ginger and to dress it I used more ginger, chili oil, chili flakes, and kimchi!
