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
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
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
Yep, life is a little more open and about to get even more so. I'll tell ya'll more about that soon. But we are still being cautious. We go to places in person, though not indoor dining yet. But we have the 11-year-old who is not vaccinated, so she still goes pretty much nowhere. We … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life…Week 64
Well, I've been doing this journal for a while now, and as I look back through the early weeks, I have to admit I probably am not quite as engrossed in my cooking as I was in the beginning. Don't get me wrong, I still love the cooking and playing with recipes. I guess it's … Continue reading Semi-Quarantined Life Week 62
Well, we are officially living a less quarantined life. We go to grocery stores (not that often), and I've been doing some patio dining (again, not that often), but we are still being cautious. Our 11-year-old is a bit from being able to be vaccinated, so we are still a little protective. But we are … Continue reading Semi-Quarantine Life Week 57
That title alone is anxiety producing. Don't get me wrong, I am excited. I am also very nervous about what life looks like when we can exit the bubble. I mean, we're only going to be doing a partial exit for now because of our youngest daughter, but things are going to change, and it … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 56 – Hopefully Our Last Week of Full Lockdown
Well, the time we've both feared and looked forward to is coming, and it's coming quickly. My husband, middle daughter, and I got our second shots this week (April 11-18). Owen got his on Monday and so will be considered fully vaccinated April 26th, and Katie and I got ours Thursday, so will be good … Continue reading Quarantine Life Week 55 – Coming Out
