So if it’s seemed a little quiet around here, it’s because I’ve been trying to figure out where this blog fits in the new normal. I haven’t been to Trader Joe’s in a week and a half, and whatever’s new seems less important than staying well, and trying not to pass or get a virus from strangers. So…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a lot of people self-isolating, I am cooking up a storm. It’s what’s keeping me sane. Instagram is where it’s going down right now. So come say hi:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
