Warning: This week’s pics might make you hungry. I’ve been busy in the test kitchen. Such is life during summer produce season. I’m still plotting more zucchini dishes. As pandemic fatigue continues, today brings news that Ohio’s governor has tested positive for COVID-19. Well then. Which begs the question … if we can’t keep the […]

Flowers and Faith in Humanity
I was attempting to sleep in. The best laid plans. There it went again. Apparently the sound of the doorbell wasn’t in my dreams. I suppose I should get up and answer it. I peeked out the window but didn’t see anyone. Maybe I missed them by not hopping out of bed fast enough. […]
Extreme Everything
Everyone is mad. As in angry, but perhaps stark raving isn’t too far off the mark either. Whatever iota of faith I had left in humanity is hanging by a thread. Someone mentioned on the SoMe the difficulty of being in the middle on the pandemic issue. One extreme truly believes the whole shebang is […]
Crying Over Spilled Guacamole
I didn’t literally cry. But I literally spilled guacamole. And more. After an extensive cleanup on aisle six … I punted on dinner and quickly nuked some nachos or, as my niece used to request, “chips and cheese”. Mine had a little flair. Our church, like many congregations, resumed in-person services this past Sunday morning. […]
Bias Schmias
Dear friends, your unconscious bias is showing. Everyone has unconscious bias. You. Me. Them. An orange whip to anyone who immediately recognized the movie reference there. I don’t call myself a feminist. I consider myself a proud member of the vast right wing conspiracy, after all. But I do know a little somethin’ somethin’ about […]
Be Kind
The insanity continues. The insanity of my life. The insanity of social media. The insanity of pandemic pandemonium. Right now I’m tired. But I just downed an iced coffee, so I’ll be fine. I’m thinking of downing another so I’ll be extra fine. Regarding the pandemic … more people’s tinfoil hats are showing. Not to […]
Silver Linings
I wasn’t sure I’d sit down to write anything this week. I haven’t had many opportunities even to sit down. Well, there have been a few. I watched all of The Tiger King on Netflix, so I feel more clued in to the plethora of memes and pop culture references on the social media. It […]
Shell Shocked
In today’s Wine with Dewine & Snackin’ with Acton – as in the daily 2pm press conference featuring Ohio governor Mike Dewine and director of public health Dr. Amy Acton – the heroic ODH director talked about her own experience going through the stages of grief as we navigate the COVID19 crisis. She also encouraged […]
Mask Wearing and Other Easter Traditions
Time wasters are a pet peeve of mine. Today’s adventure to town – my first time leaving the house in three days – turned out to be a fruitless mission. Apparently store policy varies depending on who is working. Why did I bother calling ahead again? Peace and love, friends. I understand this a challenging […]
Yeah, My Head’s Still Spinning, Too
Well, not in a Linda Blair The Exorcist kind of way. Just still trying to get used to pandemic life. Trying to stay up to date on the news without overdosing on it. Trying to get my tax paperwork together without worrying too much about it since the deadlines have all been extended. But still […]
