Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's the gist, but I don't think the actual one I made before.

Hmm. That sounds interesting Jesse. And I did just find a bunch of tahini in my cabinet when I reorganized it yesterday....

They are so good, and there are a million versions around. I really thought I used some mainstream site, but maybe it was this: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am very enamored of this spicy and delicious mixture: [link] . I cut up some leftover cooked chicken breast and threw it in, and there was dinner. We got it at Costco, so we have MANY more packages to enjoy while isolating.

Matt, I'm very happy to hear you and yours are OK.

JZ, continued ~ma to you and your family.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Scrappy, that sounds VERY good, and it looks to be vegan as well (Indian food almost always contains ghee or yogurt) which makes it a possibility for me...

I'm up way too early, but this way I should be able to expedite to Wegmans. Maybe I'd better check when they're open first...

Our wings are not tired.

Yikes, Matt! Too much excitement for sure. I saw the pictures and it looks very grim.

Sending the ~ma, JZ.

My SIL came yesterday to do our nails. Her salon is closed, of course, so she has been going to her core clients' homes. She wears a mask and gloves because it is up close and personal contact. We had a family luncheon thing for her, which was super nice. She is vegetarian and pregnant and very careful about her diet. I made a Hawaiian Quinoa Salad, with black beans, pineapple, red peppers, and stuff. It was hella tasty. So now DIL and I have pretty Spring nails and had a chance to family socialize!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Matt, glad you're okay, and glad the mall was closed! One disaster cockblocking another... yay?

Finally got a working thermometer, and my temperature is 97.7. So, no fever. That's good, but I still want to go back to bed and I've only been up an hour.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

SO glad to here you and your family are OK, Matt.

COntinued ~am to JZ and her dad (and Hec and Matilda and Marcy and Prubs)

I hope you feel better, ZenKitty. Glad you have no fever.

I ended up removing my own nails- it is pretty rough, but now I can type properly and as fast as I need to without typo I gotta so much.

My uncle is upset because his volunteer job (at FoodLink, delivering packages of food to houses where people are shut in( decided people over 60 couldn't volunteer. He is as healthy as a horse- like a vegetarian who walks and runs every day and no health conditions except tendinitis. He looks like he is in his 50s. I understand why, although I would think putting meals in your car and then leaving them on people's porches is pretty low risk.

I braved Wegmans, with my newest Mark 3.0 face mask, which has a different strapping apparatus, which does a good job of keeping it close to my face and so that I don't smell anything BUT the mask. It was pretty busy at 9 AM, no TP but large packs of paper towels. They had an elaborate line arrangement, snaking back through the store with 6' intervals marked on the floor, and traffic directors stationed at the registers to alert you to which register was now open.

Also a 6' line in the register lane, which you were to keep to until the clerk had rung up the purchases and bagged them, then you advanced and used the credit card device.

Alas, the one thing that I wanted and was the reason that I made the hike over to Wegmans was out -- the Taylor Ham I can't get elsewhere. I mean, I could have waited and gone to a nearer supermarket, so I had to go out to a store anyway, but I could have saved this longer, busier trip.
