I pulled out a bag of prized Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips from the top shelf of the cabinet. I tuck them way in the back for a reason. My mom commented about them and I told her that I never thought we would be rationing chocolate chips.

I turned on the music - I set out the ingredients, the bowl and biscuit cutter, and got to work. When it was time to work the dough on the counter, I paused for a minute, considering my options. Sprinkling flour on the counter almost felt a bit, perhaps, excessive today as I thought about friends who have had trouble finding flour in their stores recently during the Corona pandemic.
