During the pandemic, has anything changed in how you get food, prepare it, or eat it?

As I am afraid to get on public transportation, because masks are only recommended and not required, I have been shopping locally for my food ..basically within walking distance. This includes an expensive deli-like market, cheese shop, bakery, drug store, yoga juice bar, and lucky for me ..a farmers market. I am almost 75 years old and the icy sidewalks this winter pose a definite hazard. Many seniors in the apartment building where I live have fallen in the last year and ended up in nursing homes or with family members. I walk slowly and bought a walking stick to lower the odds this happens to me. I am cooking a lot more than I did before ..I don’t go out to eat except on rare occasions when either my brother or cousin show up for a visit. We get takeout and eat outdoors at the local park. As we had a mild winter, we could do that through December. I am subsisting on grilled cheese sandwiches, meatloaf, yoga fruit bowls, homemade soup, hummus or egg sandwiches and cooked veggies. I am trying to go vegetarian but have to be careful! It to eat too much high glycemic food which I seem to crave .
