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
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
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
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
Can you believe July is almost over? Schools are going to be starting soon. And there is much debate across the country on how that should look. I won't jump into the politics of said debate. I will just say that, for myself, I dread school starting, and I'm somewhat glad that Chicago starts a … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 69
I don't know. Should I change the title again? I've been toying with something along the lines of Living with Covid, cause I think that is what we are all going to be doing for a while. We're not really quarantined currently, though with the way things have been going, that could definitely happen again. … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 68
I love food. And I love traveling. One of my favorite parts of traveling is food. I know, this is a big shocker. But I truly believe that you get to know a culture, a people, in a way that is very intimate through their food. Like let's just look at the United States. I … Continue reading Meeting through Food
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
This week I had a little more fun with food again. It's not back at that level with early pandemic when I was cooking sometimes three times a day, but it was a fun week. So, let's jump into it. Thursday (7/1) - Okay, this was a simple night because Katie actually cooked. We just … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 66
We did a little traveling this week, which always changes up our normal eating routine. However, we should get some credit that we made a trip to Arkansas that did not include Taco Bell. Seriously folks, I don't know what it is about traveling south, but we always end up at a Taco Bell. I'm … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 65
