I don’t cook. I don’t bake. I’ve put my stove on twice in the last four months or so. I used to cook. I cooked curries, chowders, and stews. I baked fudge brownies and sour cream apple pies. I used to. And, then I didn’t. And, now I […]
A pandemic can do weird things to a person. Well, it devastates a society and can brutally harm some bodies. And, it can give you brain fog. It can muddy your decision-making process. Can make you jump. Can make you freeze. I also started craving things I normally […]
