Covid Life Food Diary Week 84

Well, we are into November. 2021 is almost over. I'm going to tell you up front that November was not my best cooking month. I love cooking. I also love my work. I'm still learning to balance the two now that the work is more abundant. I also do a lot of traveling around these … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 84 →

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 →

Covid Life Food Diary Week 82

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 →

Covid Life Food Diary Week 81

Yep. I decided to change the title. We are all living the Covid life. Whether you are in quarantine, semi-quarantine or just plain don't give a damn, Covid is part of our lives and it doesn't look like it's going away. But I like my food diary and while I might change the name again...and … Continue reading Covid Life Food Diary Week 81 →

I Hate __________.

Fill in the blank. These words are a challenge. I love when a member of my family tells me they don't like a particular food. I then am on a mission to show them that they just haven't had it made in a way they like. Ruling out an entire ingredient is just crazy! For … Continue reading I Hate __________. →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 80

My brother says he stopped reading this blog because he was tired of the count of how long Covid has taken over our lives. I get that. I'm not sure why we are still counting. But at some point, the title to this string will change to something like "Life of Freedom Week 1" or … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 80 →

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. We've actually even started socializing a little, with our vaccinated friends of course. Hell, I'm even going to … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 79 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 78

Well, yes, we are still being careful. But we are going out more. I'm even volunteering at a festival next week. I'm also slightly relieved that it may rain. And the kid is back to in-person school, sort of. I'd explain that more, but that's a whole other blog topic. Let's talk food. Thursday (9/23) … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 78 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 77

This was hopefully the last truly hot week this year. Fall is here after all, so I want cool days and even cooler nights. But don't worry, I'll be complaining about the cold before we know it. But Covid numbers are trending down in Chicago and vaccine numbers are trending up so let's keep a … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 77 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 76

I'm almost caught up to the present week. Of course, I'll commit to keeping them current. But we'll all know I am probably lying...or just wishful thinking. But hey, we all just do the best we can! This week saw some food victories and of course, some less than victorious moments. Thursday (9/9) - We … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 76 →
