During the pandemic, has anything changed in how you get food, prepare it, or eat it?

Yes, definitely! I feel like we're constantly cooking something! We've largely been ordering our groceries online and picking them up curbside. For a little while, when the numbers were down we went into the grocery store (with masks, and during slower times), but we're back to doing online orders now that the numbers are up again. We avoid going into any places, especially now with the numbers so high. Also, when we order our groceries, we order them for about two weeks at a time. We wipe everything down before putting them away. For our food preparation, if we plan to share/give anything to anyone then we will wear masks while preparing the food and dishing it up. We will only eat outside with friends and family outside of our "bubble" and take all precautions to have each family "bubble" dish up from their own separate dishes and using separate utensils, while wearing masks. When we eat, we eat outside with 6 feet between family "bubbles." Right now, it's winter and it's way too cold outside, so we're not doing any dinners, etc. together with anyone. We just don't want to risk it. We want to be able to have many more dinners and celebrations with our family and friends - not one last one. So, we'll continue to be careful. Even if that means not doing any of that for just a little while longer.
