We got back from our cruise on March 16 and immediately went to the store; after we picked up our fur babies of course. The Coronavirus was just picking up speed and at that time we were told not to wear masks. Our local Winco was letting people in 25 at a time, so we stood in line. Not a big deal. Everyday since, shopping and cooking at home has become something of a challenge. Not the cooking, but the retrieving of food. Just for fun we have decided, to the best of our ability, to show and tell you what we’ve made during the last half of March, all of April and all of May. By the way, it is now July and we have gained the Quarantine thirty!

Well, there you have it, our Quarantine cooking for 2 and a half months. We learned alot and gained alot. Since then we bought a propane grill and have been trying to eat more healthy but sometimes you just need some pasta and wine to make it through the day. Stay safe everyone and wear a mask. Much love to all.
