How to Stay Well-Fed?

To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.

François de la Rochefoucauld

At the beginning of the Prague lockdown, I made many new decisions about my schedule and activities every day. So when it came to decisions about eating, I was happy to take any shortcut. What will we have for dinner tonight? – I don’t know, what about damejidlo?

When my boyfriend and I took stock of our situation after a month, we realized that we spent a lot of money on food delivery. The solution sounded easy. Let’s cook more at home! What we missed was that it requires a certain amount of planning.

I would open the fridge on a workday having only a few minutes to eat and be blank about what I could make so fast. And so once, when Alex came back from the third grocery run in one week I suggested, “Hey, why don’t we write down things to last us a week or two and give a chance to Tesco grocery delivery together with our bi-weekly veggies delivery from the bio-farm in Žatec?”

Hit the jackpot! When I combine it with a plan of what I will cook and eat at least a day in advance, I don’t go hungry and I save time when I need it. However, such efforts deserve some reward. And so twice a week, we treat ourselves to a special dinner date and have our meals delivered.
