We live pretty much in the middle of nowhere by American standards (the nearest Dunkin Donuts and Walmart are an hour away). Our usual reserve of food is a few days worth of canned goods in case of a blizzard or ice storm, and we lose power. A bit different from quarantine provisions.

So today was our usual grocery shopping day anyway, and we planned to get extra food. I was a little anxious about what might be left on the shelves, but our little grocery store was fully stocked - they even still had toilet paper.

We got about two weeks worth of food we could store. Pasta and sauce, canned soup, a big jar of applesauce. Frozen chicken, frozen vegetables. We already had a bag of rice. I bought ingredients for a big soup to freeze in portions. Yes, we bought toilet paper, but only one package. Some cold and allergy meds.

We tried not to go overboard. We've got online places we can order from if it comes to that - Amazon, Schwanns. We want to be sensible, we're not panicking. This isn't Armageddon - we'll have water, and electricity. We don't like to go out anyway.

So when we picked up our pizza the other day, the manager gave us a bag of red potatoes and oranges.

So I'm making crockpot chicken.

I washed the potatoes, cut them in half, and dropped them in the bottom of the crockpot.

I seasoned the chicken (use whatever you want but I kept it simple with seasoned salt and parsley) and plopped it on top.

Set on low for 8 hours.
