Covid Life Food Diary Week 88

As I move into the last month of the year, I think I want to play with the format of this journal string. It feels like it's gotten a little repetitive and I'm just not as excited to write it. So have some patience with me as I experiment with the style. The week of … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 88 →

Covid Life Food Diary Week 83

Yep, still catching up. Stay with me, I promise it is like a car crash. You just can't look away. I'm kidding. Those that follow me know that I have great cooking weeks and I have incredibly dull cooking weeks. I wish I could say I rocked it every week, but only people on TV … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 83 →

Okay, so it's bombard the site with catching up time. But we are also getting less and less quarantined, at least for now. Who knows? Currently, talk is that the next variant may be a game changer or would you call that a reset? People say it won't go back to full lock down, but … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 82 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 79

At this point, I can't even really say we are quarantined. I mean, we are still super cautious, but we go to stores and shop in person, our youngest is in school in-person most of the time.

I blame the hot weather mostly, but we also had the … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 75 →

My Food Exploration in Spain

Well, I put my agoraphobic tendencies aside and got on a plane, and off to Spain I went. I flew from Chicago to Madrid on Tuesday the 13th, arriving at 7am on Wednesday in Spain. It was an amazing, whirlwind of a week. We had only a few days in each city, at most, and … Continue reading My Food Exploration in Spain →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 70

Life was still briefly a little more "normal"...I hate that word now. I don't want normal. But, I do like being able to pop into my local grocery store. And I like not paying all those delivery fees that come with a total lockdown situation. And at this point, numbers had started increasing and we … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 70 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 67

Okay, I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that things were going to get a bit interesting, so let's tell you why. About a month ago, maybe a month and a half, I took a giant leap and bought airline tickets to Spain. My sister was already going and had invited me to join her. … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 67 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 62

Well, I've been doing this journal for a while now, and as I look back through the early weeks, I have to admit I probably am not quite as engrossed in my cooking as I was in the beginning.
