An extra large tin of pomodori (cooked, chopped tomatoes). It is not that I am obsessed with tinned tomatoes, or want to compete with Andy Warhol with his graphics of Campbells Tinned Soup, I have a much better idea.
Since the attack of the hairy peas my way of life has changed. No-one expected a Sci-Fi attack to become reality and so you must adapt. As Dr. Spock or Han Solo have not yet arrived to save us all I have to take things in my own hands. Who knows how this lock down will develop? Perhaps I find that my weekly excursions to the store will stop and I must be sure that if the hairy peas do not get me first, I will not die of hunger. You can do a lot with a tin of tomatoes, and I mainly use them for my five star spaghetti sauce.
I had a brilliant idea. As I now have a deep freezer chest, cook double the amount you need and freeze half of it. I am sure I am not the first with this reasoning, but it took a long while to develop. Buying twice as much minced meat is not so expensive, and cooking twice as much does not take longer or make more work. You just need a bigger pan. When my delicious sauce is finished half of it will be frozen for the days of complete lock down. And if we do not have a complete lockdown, then no problem. I will have a spaghetti meal ready for an anniversary meal perhaps to celebrate the end of the attack from the invisible invasion.
I did the same thing yesterday, froze all the extra in silicon baking/muffin liners and it certainly makes me feel powerful and prepared. I love this line “As Dr. Spock or Han Solo have not yet arrived to save us all I have to take things in my own hands!”

I even cleared room in the garden so that the Enterprise could land, but nothing happened. Those guys are never there when you need them most of all.

I do that all the time. Canned tomatoes are a staple!

I never bothered when the kids were all at home, but now I have discovered that with age you must be more prepared.

This is what I do! Needless to say, I would be lost without my freezer.

It was funny, but when everyone started panic buying, this was one of the first food items that disappeared
