  • There's been a bit of a drop in availability locally; have to got to a particular store to get it now.

    Beyond IMHO does better sausages than Impossible. But that kind of thing is a matter of taste, not something that's going to be a hard and fast rule for everybody.

  • Look at the nasal mist vaccines for your kid. Slightly less protection, but no needle. And you can get them by mail order and administer at home so that you don't need to organize an outing around the vaccine
