Desert-Island Grocery List

You know the famous question: What (insert number, up to 10) things would you take to a desert island? I’ve adapted it for the pandemic at home.

Pls. note: I originally published this in early January 2021, when the Covid vaccine was still mostly a glimmer in our nation’s eye. Now, on March 8, my husband has had both doses and our adult daughter, my sister and I have all had our first doses.

I’m crazy about the decaf beans (and pink floral logo) from Sweet Laurel in California. If I could bring a battery-powered coffee bean grinder, a French press and organic half and half in a retro glass milk bottle to a desert island, I would.
