I’ve been remiss about checking out some quick recipes for you but it’s hard when I don’t know what’s available in your supermarkets.
Here’s what’s new in Florida. The Governor has issued a Stay At Home until the end of April. However, it is less stringent than some of the counties who have already done this. Weather people say this will be an above average year for hurricanes and major storms. No rain for ages and this is our dry season so burn bans are in effect in places.

Our Publix supermarket have plexiglass shields around the cashiers and have taped off 6 ft areas in the waiting lines. Several other stores also have the taped areas. Employees have the choice of wearing gloves and masks. Some supermarkets may close on Sundays to give their employees a rest. My daughter, who is in health care, has decided to use Instacart for Publix shopping both because of the virus and also because she is one busy mother. We will combine lists and either do a pick up or delivery. Will see how that goes. Going grocery shopping was one of the few excursions out that I looked forward to..,yay the grocery store!
I now have a cotton mask and will wear it out when I go places I need to. What prompted me to get one (washable cotton) is the fact that now they say the virus could be spread by just talking and breathing the air in that 6 ft space.

I’ve been basically eating the same way but did attempt my own avacado cilantro sauce which turned out awful. I ate it anyway on fish tacos and threw the rest away...a waste of 2 avacados, 2 limes, fresh cilantro, sour cream etc. I love Costco’s sauce. And this recipe got 5 stars. But , being a cook, I was wondering if mayo would have been better than sour cream and almost changed that but followed the recipe since I wasn’t sure. Cooks should follow their instincts.

I have a yen for grilled octopus and haven’t had pizza in ages. Maybe I’ll make my own.

Get your hand out of the candy bar!

More to come from FL Mary

Anyway, I will check out some recipes.Been busy painting, weeding, etc as weather is great for a few days. And the phone is constantly going off with text messages and crazy corona jokes and what not. I’d like to face time as it’s easier to chat but everyone loves the text messaging.

BTW my mask is adorable. Must be stylish whatever we do.

What do you think about the 2 cruise ships docked in Florida? So many sick people will be in Florida, although I understand most will be treated on the ships, but what about those on land who do not show symptoms yet. They will spread the virus. There are many elderly people in Florida. Kind of scary.
Take care
