Wow. We are approaching a year. My husband gets his first vaccine shot tomorrow. I'm excited and terrified all at once. I should be able to get it by the end of the month. Also terrifying! But this series of posts could come to an end. I'll have to think of some other way to … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 50
Every week, it looks like the world is moving toward opening up more. While I still have some mixed feelings on this, I am looking forward to cookouts and dinner parties. I have an entire "This shit is over" party plan. It's gonna be epic. But for now, let's talk about this week's cooking. Thurs … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 49
Spring is almost here! We are supposed to have 60 degree whether this coming week. I am super excited. Living in Chicago, I know it could still snow again, but I think it's definitely close to time to pull that grill out of storage and get myself set up downstairs for some summer grilling and … Continue reading Quarantine Week 48
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
Okay, I'm not really meeting my goal for posting this year. But I've found myself struggling for time to sit down. I spend more time working these days, which is great, but I need to develop a better blogging schedule, as I truly do enjoy rambling on and hoping someone is reading it. Anyway, we're … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 46
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
