There’s a procedure to follow when one goes shopping so it’s better to know what’s in stock or not and thus not wasting one’s time.
I hope it’s a joke. Is there anyone who does not know about this virus by now? Btw, I don’t think runny nose is one of the symptoms. I have terrible hay fever and am having a runny nose.
Sometimes I envy people who are that stupid because there’s no way you can self reflect/recognize how ignorant you are, if in fact you are that ignorant. Therefore proving ignorance is bliss.
I think the fact that they give the very FIRST symptom of drinking Corona as “gagging” (this is balls on accurate IMO) is an indication that this is a joke and probably not one approved by Corona Extra.
Wanna know what to do with all that Cheez Whiz and cream-of-something soup stacked in the pantry? You’re in luck: writer Brian Francis has temporarily reconstituted his amusing blog, Caker Cooking.
I used to enjoy his culinary experiments, which center on retro recipes and packaged foods. It’s always fun no matter how (badly) the dish turns out.
Caker Cooking is back for a limited time. And oh, the archives. Pull up a chair and forget the news of the day.
Full disclosure: Cheez Whiz and cream-of-something canned soup are but distant memories for me. That was fancy food for us back in the day! Processed food was a treat.
When I started reading the Caker site, I kept thinking, how is it possible I’ve never seen this before? Then I read in the FAQ - it’s CANADIAN. Mystery solved. I loved his explanation of the distinction between Caker Cooking (Canadian) and White Trash Cooking (USA) :
What’s the difference between caker and white trash cooking?
Caker cooking seems to be uniquely Canadian. White trash cooking is American. White trash cooking is about cheapness. Caker cooking is more about convenience. White trash cooking takes pleasure in its garishness whereas caker cooking is more dignified. Bottom line is that you’ll never see a crown roast made of hot dog wieners on this blog.
I’m not sure I agree about that distinction but it’s funny anyway. BTW that recipe for lasagna with the tomato soup and cottage cheese is, I believe, pretty much the same recipe Sandra Lee used (the one that Governor Cuomo’s mother criticized).
FWIW, recently I was looking up a tamale pie recipe in a vintage Joy of Cooking that called for canned cream of tomato soup. So I guess that sort of cooking was—maybe is?—more common than I knew.
Cooking with canned soup and other convenience foods largely skipped our house when I was growing up, because of my grandmother. Except for the occasional treat, if she didn’t prepare the dish from scratch it didn’t exist in our house. She sure kept us well-fed on a small budget.

Clever. Still able to eat restaurant food this way. Pretty sure it’s not possible to do this in some places where a strict lockdown is imposed (in Spain or Italy for instance).
Will this be enough until the virus is eradicated?
Sometimes it’s better to be firm straight away.
Yeah. My clothes don’t fit anymore.
(If you a Seinfeld enthusiast you’ll know this scene. Hint: the cat keeps meowing non stop, Kramer slices meat so thin it’s "see-through, which he feeds the cat by sliding it under the door.)
No pictures but my attempt to contribute. It is or soon will be Spring depending on your geography. For those of us with seasonal allergies consider those little roll up foam ear plugs up your nose under your face mask. If you do sneeze your brain may explode and blow out your ears but at least you won’t be thrown out of the grocery.

Yogurt flavoured soda. They have strange stuff in Japan.
Which is worse, though? Meat with a hint of ketchup soda.
