Here are this week’s questions and my answers:
1. What food item has gone up out of all proportion in your opinion over the last year?
Honestly, it feels like everything has gone up in price since Christmas.
Every trip to the supermarket seems to bring a new surprise, and not the good kind.
2. When Covid hit in 2020, did you get caught without vital provisions, or were you able to buy what you needed when you needed it?
Living on an island means we depend heavily on supplies arriving from mainland Spain and other countries.
During lockdown, some items became very difficult to find. Even something as simple as flour disappeared from the shelves, which meant baking our own bread wasn’t really an option.
Those months reminded us how dependent we are on supply chains and transport links.
3. What food item was popular when you were a child that no longer seems to be readily available now?
I honestly can’t think of anything specific.
Perhaps because many traditional foods from my childhood are still available in Norway, even if I don’t see them very often here in the Canary Islands.
4. Do you/your partner shop to a budget, do a big shop once a month and then small top-ups, or buy what you need as and when necessary?
We usually do a large monthly shop, stocking up on essentials.
Then we make smaller weekly trips for fresh items such as fruit, vegetables, milk, and bread.
It works well for us and saves extra journeys.
Gratitude
I’m grateful for full shelves, fresh food, and the ability to provide for my family.
I’m grateful for the lessons we learned during lockdown — not always easy lessons, but important ones.
And I’m grateful for simple meals shared together around the table..
