Episode description

Obsessing over take-out safety, the obsessive need to bake bread, opening closed farmer's markets, and new alcohol delivery options.

The pandemic is revealing a lot about us, in particular our real dependence on food take-out and delivery. But is it safe? Mirella and Joshna turn over the myriad of opinions out there and delivery their own verdict.

Next we tackle the curious lack of flour on store shelves, and our apparent obsession with baking bread. In particular isolation seems to have us all baking the notoriously time-consuming sour dough loaf.

Farmer's markets have been caught up in coronavirus closures and we'll take a look arguments for and against opening them alongside grocery stores.

We wrap it up by breaking down the ins and outs of a hot new announcement: that restaurants in Ontario and a few other provinces can now deliver alcohol!
