Muesli and vitamin pills doesn't sound good. Maybe you could find someone to shop some veggies for you? Here we have an veggie only shop that has crates on the sidewalk and the owner steps out to serve their patrons. This way I don't have to walk into a supermarket, but I still try to limit my outings. Last time I was out and about a bunch of twentysomethings was walking four next to one another with hardly any room for me to pass them (I was next to the buildings on the side walk). There was no social distancing possible.
I am a fairly new veggie btw. I plan on making the switch to full vegan but I still do need some cheese right now. Everything else is vegan but the cheese... well, it'll take some more time.  |
Thanks for the hug. He has suspected FIP, which, ironically, is a mutation of feline coronavirus. It's impossible to definitively diagnose. Cydric is 12, far too young to meet Bastet, but older than cats with FIP usually are. I just wish he would eat!
I've been veggie for 40 years, since my second year of uni. Initially I would sit with some veggie cookbooks every friday night and suss the week's menu, then go out and shop for the week on the saturday. After a year of this I cooked instinctively.
When I lived in the aforementioned area, there were shops just round the corner which sold groceries and veg - I went there almost every day and chatted to the shopkeepers.
When I rescued a colony of feral cats one winter, I needed so much cat food that it was easier to do online supermarket shopping. That's when the muesli fetish began. Most of the veg didn't keep and I became too lazy to walk up to the corner shop.
Unfortunately, where I live now the only small shop doesn't sell veg. There's a Tesco not far away, but I doubt they have any veg at the moment. I'm waiting for the panic buying to be over, assuming cupboards get too full to buy any more.
