(Originally posted to my GoFundMe, and backdated to the date of that original post. This is basically copied verbatim (modulo formatting), including the fundraising stuff at the end; I *was* posting to GoFundMe after all. Feel free to ignore those bits if you want. Link to the fundraiser will be provided in the comments and upon request.)
Taking a break from "updates from the world of pharmaceutical chemistry" for today's installment of "SARS-COV-2/COVID-19 related PSA meets the traditional begging post" hybrid, here's something I ran across over the weekend. Because of its nature, I'm going to jump right into a piece of the begging. As regular readers may expect right now, in addition to the usual plea for help for ourselves, I'm going to ask those of you who can to SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BUSINESSES that are still open. Help keep your local economy a little bit more afloat, as and if you can. And remember that once the worst of this has passed, locally owned businesses will be struggling to get back on their feet, so please be ready to patronize them as much as you can when it's time for them to reopen.
And why did I mention that first? Because today's post is about supporting your local restaurants, for those of you who can afford it, by ordering takeout or delivery but getting TWO (or more) meals worth of food, doing something creative with the leftovers, and posting your results on social media with the hashtag #LeftoversChallenge -- I first heard about this from Binging With Babish, but I actually like this video better because it's a collaboration between three Internet cooking show folks. So here's the #LeftoversChallenge from The Burger Show (warning, NSFW language):
Binging with Babish, Mythical Chef Josh, and Alvin Cook the Ultimate Leftovers Burger
And here's a longer list of YouTube videos on the topic.
And now, on to the rest of the usual begging. ( Which is behind the cut. )
