This couple is (was?) in a quarantined area and they've been writing about what they are cooking:

| I was looking for a soylent green reference, based on title. |

I’ve got a giant tub of peanut butter for each family member and about 100 granola bars.
WE ARE GOOD TO GO! |
| Can you crack and freeze eggs, and later defrost and scramble? |
Yes. Scramble first, through, then freeze. |
Sorry, to clarify - don’t cook, just whisk the white and yolk together before you freeze. Freezes/thaws more consistently. |

I host a lot of parties and cook in bulk. A lot of the foods I typically make (North Indian) lends very well to being frozen. So unless we are talking zombie apocalypse and survival cooking, my party food prep will also work for any quarantine.
Here is what I have cooked in last two weeks for my freezers - Multiple trays of lasagna Chilli Spinach-Paneer saag (paneer is seperate), Kadhi with spinach. Daal Makhani Chicken meatballs Tomato soup, Gravy for butter chicken, butter paneer Indian masala - several pounds of onions-tomato-ginger-garlic-cilantro-green chilli masala. Badas (for dahi bade), pakodas (for kadhi) Beans tamale, paneer-veg tamale. Lots of chicken stock for thai chicken soup (Tom Yum gai) Chicken kebabs and tuna kebabs. Roasted eggplants for baingan bharta and baba ghanoush Barbeque pulled pork Lots of homemade paneer. I have also paid for a small baby goat, so I will get packets of cubes, chops and liver on Saturday to freeze. |
Did not realize how hilarious and confusing this sentence was. Clarification - I paid our local halal meat shop owner for a goat. He will buy it from the goat farm, butcher it, sort the various cuts - for curry, for kebab, for chops - and make pockets that I can freeze. Its good for 6 months. LOL! |
| Ghiredelli brownies for dessert. Got my big old box from Costco. |
And a handle of bourbon per adult family member. |
What part of India are you from? Fellow Indian here. |
eggs also keep for over a month, so for me they aren't a priority for freezing |
| Has anyone else read (and loved) MFK Fisher's How to Cook a Wolf about cooking during wartime and other difficult times. It's a great book, with recipes! |
| I have whole chickens for a roast with veggies and then chicken soup. Have not had luck finding good shelf stable milk. Suggestions? |
