Let's be fair. I am a month behind and writing several weeks' posts at once. So yes, the cranky from week 85 continues to carry through. And I'm combining a couple of weeks because I got carried away writing it and because I'm so damned behind again and I have several non-diary blog post ideas … Continue reading Covid Life Weeks 86 & 87

Covid Life Week 85
Well, I'm only about a week behind on these posts. Oh well, I've accepted that this is the way it is. I've had a long day and I'm grumpy and tomorrow will be even longer, so excuse me if I sound a bit sassy tonight. Let's talk food. Thursday (11/11) - My husband had bought … Continue reading Covid Life Week 85
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 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
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
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 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
