I'm working more, and I am sharing my kitchen with Katie, my middle child, so I feel like I've been doing a little less super complicated cooking. But I'm still putting dinner on the table most evenings. I've had some crazy insomnia, so not been so into elaborate breakfasts lately. Thursday (2/18) - I made … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 47
Oh ya, we are still doing this. I'm hearing we may be able to get those vaccines by the end of summer. I'm cautiously optimistic and at the same time may miss this life. You know, I've kind of gotten used to it. Oh, and I'm agoraphobic, so you know, this is kind of okay. … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 45
Another week down. Numbers are getting better here, but I guess there's a long way to go to having enough vaccines available. Having K back home has been interesting and mostly good. It also means you'll get to see some of her cooking, as she loves it about as much as I do. She's agreed … Continue reading Quarantine Week 44
Phew! This last week feels like it was a couple of weeks combined! My lovely Katie (middle child) moved back home. She's been quarantining in a friend's home for about six months, but she was ready to come back. We're happy to have her back, but of course it requires some adjustments when you add … Continue reading Quarantine Week 43
It's been another week of quarantining and yes, I'm still cooking. This week, my husband looked at the meal plan and asked me very nicely not to change anything about it. I, of course, did, but only with one dinner, and it was a huge hit. Thursday (1/14) - We started the day with poached … Continue reading Quarantine Week 42
Well, this roller coaster is still moving. After last week's events and then the impeachment events this week, who knows where things are going next. But I'm still cooking. In fact, when the world stresses me out, I go straight to my kitchen. So let's review this week's cooking adventures. Thursday (1/7) - I made … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 41
Wow, just writing the number 40 is shocking. But they say the end is in sight or there's a light at the end of the tunnel or some other cheesy way of placating the people who are going a little crazy. Honestly, I kind of dread the "return to normal" idea. While I am intrigued … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 40
Our post Thanksgiving week did not involve the usual "how to use leftovers in new dishes" menu that it usually does since I tailored our meal to be for just the husband and me. I will admit that I missed the usual chicken or turkey salad the next day. We did have a bit of … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 36
I feel like I'm tired of saying "well, we are still here," but we are. The week before Thanksgiving normally involves a lot of shopping and a lot of planning for me. There is also some making ahead of dishes that can be. I guess this year was easier in that respect. I'll post a … Continue reading Quarantine Week 35
A few days a week we are vegetarian when we have our youngest daughter. Other days we are total carnivores. Some meals are a combination.
