I'm thawing out some soup I had in the freezer from happier days.
I'm hoping the flavour of better times will come through. We've still got four days of mashed taters, spinach, and turkey. More lasagna in the freezer after that. No shortage of eggs - still giving most of them away to neighbors.

What is dinosaur leg?  I have no idea, possibly some sort of large Australian bird?
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

KIng Arthur doesn't have any either.
Looks like I'm rationing that too. I can mix in some older AP flour and white wheat I've got laying around to stretch the bread flour. I've got a full 5 pounds of White Lily self rising flour. But that's best used for scones and such. It's soft winter wheat and the protein is so low that it's practically gluten free.
There's a few blueberries ripening so blueberry scones might become the bread ration for a few days.

No shortage of eggs - still giving most of them away to neighbors. My little flock is perfectly balanced right now. They produce exactly how many I use. I very rarely get a dozen ahead and I never ever run out. Have you tried making raamen eggs Loggy, it's great having those in the fridge because they're good with everything. Basically a soft boiled egg pickled in Mirin and soy sauce. The yolk turns into jammy wonderfulness.

I just made a sandwich out of General Tso's Chicken, and my wife is looking at me like I'm a barbarian.
What? It's not even real Chinese food. It's the hot dog of Asian cuisine.
What can we do to help you stop screaming?

As game meats go, 'possum is surprisingly good. The fat is sweet and not gamey like raccoons or squirrels. Armadillo is excellent too if you live in a region where they are plentiful. Gopher turtles, though difficult to butcher and extremely illegal to harvest now, were once a staple here. Alligator isn't especially good to eat but they are plentiful and similar to wild pork. Snakes are starting to crawl now too as the weather warms up and a good fat rattlesnake will provide a lot of protein.

We have a great resource here in the local feed store. They are driving 9 hours to bring in chicks and have a waiting list 100 deep for people who want them. People are coming in from LA to buy them. I'm not sure what parts of LA lets you raise chickens, but everybody wants to be self-sufficient now. Their list is so long, my wife is considering ducks. Apparently, there are some breeds that lay almost every day and just walk away from their nests. So you don't have to fight them for their eggs. I keep telling her she has to plant a garden and protect it from the dogs and coyotes before we get chickens. Ducks need that plus a pond, too.
I wonder what duck eggs taste like?
