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 →

My Favorite Food During Lockdown

My therapist asked me what my favorite dish I made was during lockdown. I couldn't answer. That's such a tough question. I love food. I love a lot of foods. Like, you'd be amazed how much I love food. So, I went back through my weekly journal of food to try to decide. I couldn't. … Continue reading My Favorite Food During Lockdown →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 74

Well, school has started, and we are in the super nervous crowd of parents. We've kept the kid pretty well locked down since March of 2020 with lots of virtual play dates to try to maintain the socialization. And with schools opening across the country and seeing some of the rate spikes, we are preparing … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 74 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 73

I'm really hoping that "semi" doesn't need to be dropped in the title to these soon. My husband's job is talking about them going back to working half the week from home to expand spacing. But this week, the FDA gave final approval to the vaccine, and now businesses and government authorities are starting to … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 73 →

Semi-Quarantined Week 72

Fall cannot come soon enough. I usually kind of like the summer. But Covid-life has taken away a lot of the things I like about it. We aren't going to ballgames...not that the team doesn't suck this year anyway. And we don't go to the beach because of crowds. And the festivals are all mostly … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Week 72 →

Semi-Quarantined Life Week 71

Well, the second week of August was a little rough. My Katie, her boyfriend, and his sister all tested positive for Covid. Fortunately, she didn't really have any symptoms. He was pretty sick. They are vaccinated, so these were break-through cases. But they are okay now as I write this post. And my husband, myself … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 71 →

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 →

Backseat Cooking

So tonight, my husband made my cheese enchilada recipe. I'm old and clumsy, and this week I fell. I hurt myself pretty good. Yeah, I know, that sounded totally Southern. But long story short, I'm on bedrest so that, hopefully, next week, I can pick up things off the floor and not scream in pain. … Continue reading Backseat Cooking →
