There isn't much meat here either.

I’m really amazed at the differences in food availability. Are you and @FortCluck both near large urban areas? I’m in a more rural area so perhaps that makes a difference. There was a marked difference between the two stores I went to last week. One was out of paper and cleaning products but had a lot of produce and meat. The other was reasonably well stocked with just about everything. No TP or PT but Kleenex and paper napkins were available. They also had cleaning products and laundry detergent. I hope things get better for you both.

The only meat we have been able to find is ham steaks, ground sausage, and pork loin... It's not really meats my family likes but they haven't been complaining about it since I make really good sides with them.

We have checked all local stores and most farms here that do meat have shut down to people coming in to buy stuff. My parents have checked their stores too.

We have enough random meat to last growing out my ducklings and quail. Then we will have enough meat to last indefinitely. When I say random it's like bacon and stuff that doesn't make complete meals tonight's dinner request is nachos

I'm going to can my veggies, that's my plan. I dislike store bought veggies because garden fresh always taste better.

I’ve had nachos for dinner before too rarely but it’s good!! LOL

I'm in the country but it goes from country to a pretty populated area with a 30 minute drive.

I'm not worried about it. I have quail hatching eggs coming in soon so I'll be stocked soon enough. I'm not stressed or worried at all.

I'm doing meat, cheese, beans, and salsa on them. They'll be a pretty complete meal

So what do kids without internet service do?

I think they will be either having parents go to the school to pick it up or mailing it. They also have free meal sites they may give it to them there. I don't think a full decision has been made on thet yet.. this week is a planning and finalizing week before it starts.

Our younger one's are getting packets every couple weeks. Older one is online. And late stuff essays and such she is just taking pictures and sending to teacher.
For families with out internet (I have my doubts if there is any and if so minimal) the teachers will make work packets for them.
Just had a call from our 7yr olds teacher today. She wants to set up zoom to hear the kids read, she still wants to interact with 'her' kids.

Sounds delicious!!! I usually do ground hamburger (or sometimes chicken) with taco seasoning and then shredded Mexican cheese and that’s usually it LOL I’m boring I do usually add salsa and sour cream and/or guacamole to mine after though hahah
