IMO, one shouldn't complain about free food.
Also...now you have a *new* guy? And now you're looking for ingredients
to cook Tanzanian food for him too?

If you're so worried about Covid virus that you won't even leave the
house to shop for food, why do you invite a 2nd guy into your house that
comes and goes and could also bring the virus home to you?

And, no, not even Bothell forbids grocery shopping.

You're NOT self isolating at all. Either one of those men could bring
you the virus. You're not being very safe.
