- “sweet” chicken curry (using canned chicken)
- “chicken noodle soup” using Ramen noodles and canned chicken
- chocolate chip cookies (
34 batches!) - almond strip cookies (1 batch so far)
- pies: pumpkin, chocolate pudding, banana pudding
- brownies
- lemon poppyseed muffins
- biscuits (No, not the things the British call biscuits. Those are cookies. I mean those things that are made with flour, shortening, and buttermilk) (Lost count of the number of batches I’ve made. Son keeps requesting them)
Do I detect a theme here? Sounds pretty carb-heavy, no? We even managed to run out of white sugar. But rest easy, because I also made …
- fridge pickles (to go on frozen hamburgers)
- Moroccan-style preserved lemons
Out of Babel 
I suspect a lot of people are going to be gaining weight faster than normal during this time. I know we are!

Mrs B and I are doing our best to stay on our weight watchers plan, but without the weekly weigh in, man, it is hard to stay motivated and on track!
And we were both doing so well too…

And we are lucky. I’ve heard that some are falling back in to depression or alcohol because of enforced isolation.

Definitely not a good time to be an extrovert, a people person or someone who is touch oriented, that is for sure!
I’m just glad that caffeine is about the strongest drink I take 🙂

Yes, for me it will be real emergency when the coffee runs out. Luckily I know how to make it from chicory. Unluckily, the chicory kind doesn’t have caffeine.

Nice menu. We are also eating carb-heavy. Lots of potatoes and rice. Also, a lot of soups. I still think everyone is losing weight because the portions are smaller than usual!

No workout equipment. So, I just put on my mask go outside and walk.

That’s a good way.
Out here in the country where we live, the winds are so high some days that taking a simple bike ride can be like sailing against the wind.

Nice! We’ve tried Turkish kofte, pasta Bolognese, beef Burgandy, mushroom risotto, lentil and sausage casserole, and lots of soups. I’ve been wanting to make bread, but all my yeast is dead and the stores are bare of yeast, flour, and dried beans. We’ll all be chefs before this is done.

Wow! All of that sounds really good! Perhaps you are not cooking to please three school-aged children … 😉
