That would be nothing at all, wouldn't it? Paper plates are the answer to everything except hot soup. The wonderful world of disposables.

You still have to prepare and cook it. Depending what you make, you can end up using: fry pan, multiple saucepans, baking dishes and racks, strainer, utensils, mandolin, garlic press, spatula ....
As it was, I used a knife, spatula, fry pan, plate, and milk glass. It all went into the dishwasher (for a change), except the fry pan. It’s a non stick, so I just wiped it out with paper towel. (It had already been washed with hot soap and water the night before.)

My solution would be to open up a can* of spaghetti-O's grab a plastic spoon and devour that gourmet Italian delicacy. Stay classy!
Or Can(s) depending how many are going to be at the table.

We have Zoodles and Alphagetti ... except we don’t, because the grocery store shelves are still low.

As the words "no offense" will ALWAYS be followed by something particularly offensive.

I am not offensive. I am a nag. There IS a difference, even if the headache feels exactly the same.

Newest Ontario COVID numbers:
573 of the 763 who have died are in LTC’s. That is an appalling number. The military has been brought in, and boots should be in five select understaffed facilities by tonight or tomorrow.
As the Premier said yesterday (whilst very choked up) - We can do better. We must do better.
His own 95 year old MIL is in an LTC, and was diagnosed yesterday with COVID.
Overall, our numbers are very good. Unless you’re an elderly person in a nursing home.

And here I thought you Cananadians were more laid back and mentally calm. How did y'all get caught up in the hoarding panic. Paper products are still a problem here, but timing makes it less of a problem. So far I have been able to replenish what ever I needed, without massive purchases. Here and there we might find some things missing, but the next trip to the store and there it is, eh! I was talking to a guy that works in the meat department of a large store and he told me that they have a shortage of Ground Beef, yet they can send the prime stuff. The Prime stuff is 8.50 a pound, but in order to have some in the display they have to grind it themselves. Pretty expensive Hamburgers.

We had a monthlong series of politically motivated nationwide rail blockades just before the start of the pandemic.
We were in a bit of a pickle right from the get-go

It is always risky being an elderly person with or without Covid 19. Long term care can be called the next step is your last location. Not that it is good that they die. I'm a couple of steps away from that myself, but it shouldn't be surprising since the older we get the weaker we get in every way included our immune system. What's the military going to do, shoot the virus? Set up a road block and stop every car and see if there happens to be a virus in the trunk? Without the proper testing available there is no real defense. Young and healthy may be a sickness that no one wants, but the odds are they will survive. The elderly are very aware that they are close to the big one and to make them be separated from the people they love, is as cruel as the illness. You should be able to understand what I am saying, let's say that what happened to your Dad were to be right now and you couldn't get to see him, comfort him and spend whatever time you could with someone that you love. It makes no sense, they are already terminally ill, you can't make them sicker by being there, but not being there can make their last days a lot more scary and unpleasant. That is the only real upset I have with how we are trying to do the impossible and by doing something that is only good for ourselves. How many times, when you kids were little, you went in to take care of them without any real thought about whether or not you would catch whatever they had. And if you did think about it would you have just left them in their room, door closed, with no one seeming to care about them. How would they ever get better when there was no one to give them the strength.Newest Ontario COVID numbers:

Me, I am angry, I cannot see my family. Everyday that goes by I get one day closer to that final one. I'm willing to take a chance so I can spend some time with my family, but that apparently makes me stupid or evil. These are days that I will never get back again. Once they go by they are gone forever. I'm well over 65 and have COPD plus other odds and ends. I am in the most likely to get the terminal version group. I will wait it out, but I know where my anger is directed and if I survive this, which btw I think I will, then I am going to do everything in my power, limited as it might be, to make those responsible for lack of preparation accountable for their lack of intelligence or caring.

I guess we are as well, but I don't ever buy any of that stuff and feel that it really is a waste of time. You use that stuff and as soon as you use it you touch something that is just as likely to be contaminated. It can be an endless circle. I am a believer in making my immune system work for me. Stupid, maybe, but I am willing to take that chance.

We are less than a month away from the 10-year anniversary of my dad’s passing. You know darn well that if he were alive today and in his last days, nothing in Heaven or Earth would stop me from seeing him. I’ve already said that if I had a relative in a long term care facility right now, I would bring them home.
If you’re going to die anyway, better to die surrounded by loved ones; rather than neglected, in an 18-hour old soiled adult brief, confused and scared.
In terms of the military - in some care homes, so many staff are out with COVID themselves, that 40 patients are being tended to by two staff working a double shift. As Dougie said - We can do better. We must do better.
Mike and I have already said that if either one of us gets it, we will continue to sleep in the same bed, and look after one another. We’ll be more like Isador and Ida Straus, and less like Jack and Rose.

I have a Zoom meeting with my four bosses on Monday. I just set up an account, and Mike and I did a practice run.
I don’t own any foundation, but if Jesus loves me, there’s a cover stick up in a bathroom drawer somewhere. I have some world class, grade A bags under my eyes. For someone who does absolutely nothing all day, this is rather perplexing.
Maybe I’ll cheat and just wear sunglasses.

Thanks for the heads up!
We were forbidden to use Zoom. Too many security issues where they can steal your passwords... Supposedly 500,000 user accounts were hacked and information ended up on the dark web...I have a Zoom meeting with my four bosses on Monday. I just set up an account, and Mike and I did a practice run.

As Mike and I were doing our practice call, there was a segment on the news about exactly that.
