MacReady Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 @Tugboat, Quote The crazy thing to me, was that it was tons of like...short-term spoil stuff that was gone most places. Like Milk and Fruits don't last that long. If you have to hunker down, i guess maybe get a last hurrah in...but lol. You can't hoard that stuff. Fairlife brand milk. It costs over twice as much as cheap milk, but expires WAY later. I have a couple gallons of it (hopefully getting more today). It expires July 6th. Bought that a month ago. And freeze bananas.

My grandma used to do that and it’s noticable no idea about cheeses and yogurts I’m not saying it’s good, just extends expiration and nutritional value. I’m a lactose free guy myself. Cheese freezes really well. I work at a country club restaraunt and it doesn’t lose much flavor or consistency. Queso Fresco and goat cheese both work well after freezing. no idea on yogurt but I doubt it thaws how you want it too.

I was reading some speculation that this came around this time last year and my own personal experience has me hoping it's true. February 2019 I was hit with the NASTIEST respiratory infection and nastiest sickness of my life. Tested negative for influenza, but I felt like I was going to die. So much phlegm I could fill a milk gallon, zero energy, zero appetite. Had to be put on steroids to recover. Same time February this year same thing. Only difference this year is that I've been taking Allegra and it kept my sinuses from being way loaded. Managed to recover in about a week. Wishful thinking? I’m no expert but this virus produces a dry cough. If you had lots of phlegm it likely wasn’t Covid 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm also dealing with some severe learning disabilities. I'm sure it is. Probably a lot more sugar. I was just being a little sarcastic, because i've been stuck in this house for 4 days straight. Ok - serious time. I have frozen yogurt. It's not like fro-yo, but it's good. But usually i open the package, whip it up first, then freeze for a few hours. I don't leave it in there for weeks or months. So i don't know how long it lasts or what happens to quality after that amount of time. It is sort of like ice cream consistency though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people follow the social distancing guidelines and not try to go to places where there will be large groups of people, the restrictions will help and we'll be able to return to "normal" soon (see China). If the "hoax" or "it won't affect me" mentality perseveres, going to make things a lot more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
