I hope someone besides me enjoys these posts, but in the end, I still believe they'll make an interesting read someday when we are long past this bleak era in history. If they bore you, please don't tell me, but maybe check out my other posts. As promised, I have started meal planning. And per … Continue reading Quarantine Week 25 and Counting
Opening the Big Can
Back when this whole pandemic thing started and we went into quarantine mode, I, like many, had a slight feeling of panic, but more of how to be prepared. I wanted to be prepared if the "two week" shutdown turned into something longer. Because of experience I can only credit to being from a state … Continue reading Opening the Big Can
Quarantine Life Week 24 – wow, 6 months!
So, we've hit the third trimester of this thing...kidding. I wish I could say it would only last 9 months, and at the end we'd all get a beautiful reward. I'm just not sure that is how this thing is going down. But it would be nice. So our house is coming together. I have … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 24 – wow, 6 months!
Moving During a Pandemic
My husband was leery of me even posting this one because he said just reading it stressed him out. This one is not about cooking or feeding my family, but I felt like sharing our recent stress.
Quarantine Life Week 23
This week was all about packing and more packing. And then the terrible moving day. Then unpacking. I think you can see a theme. I haven't meal planned in a couple of weeks. I lost half the contents of my freezer and my garden in one day. So this is all to say cooking has … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 23
Makin Bacon!
Early in our quarantine life when everything was shut down and we started ordering our groceries online and doing curbside pickup, I noticed that the price of bacon soared. This led to us considering it a luxury and only ordering it about twice in 3 months. The problem is that we love bacon. Then, back … Continue reading Makin Bacon!
Quarantine Life Week 22 – Getting ready to move
So we've been packing most of the week. This is definitely a record for me with us finding a place and moving within a two week span. The actual move happens Monday, but I've been packing like a mad woman for the last 10 days. I actually planned out our meal menu through the move … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 22 – Getting ready to move
Quarantine Life Week 21
The fact that I am getting this post (and last week's post) out this week is a bit of a triumph. Last week, we were informed that we need to vacate our apartment no later than November 1st. Our building was sold in May 2019. The new owners wanted the building for the storefronts downstairs … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 21
Quarantine Life Week 20
This post is coming out a bit later because life has been very interesting the last couple of weeks. I'll talk more about that in Quarantine Life Week 21. But wow! 20 weeks in quarantine. That's five months! At this point, I think we have adjusted to this lifestyle. We've stopped talking about when things … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 20
I didn’t have a dinner plan
Today a very strange thing happened. My husband asked me what I was thinking for dinner. This was late in the afternoon. I replied I hadn't even thought about it. He checked my temperature. I realized I had not even planned anything for this week. Other than taking my sourdough starter out to reactivate it … Continue reading I didn’t have a dinner plan
