March 20, 2020 // by doodlet// 3 Comments

Why are you Humans still Home? You’re cramping my Nap Time Style.

Cooker Man is having Fun in the Kitchen. Trying to Make Egg Drop Soup.

Wake me for Dinner.

This is Cooking with What You Have. Let’s Make Soup!

Frozen Vegetables? Check.

Pour Chicken Broth into the Pot.

Let it Get Cozy with the Vegetables.

How about Korean Dumplings? Doesn’t Everyone have Korean Dumplings in their Freezer? 🙂 Pop Frozen into the Soup and Smile.

Add a Sprinkle of Soy Sauce. Heat to a Slow Boil.

Last Step…Take 3 Eggs. Whisk.

Pour the Eggs into a Rolling Boil. Stir.

How Easy was That?!

Set a Simple Table.

Steaming Bowls of Soul Warming Soup.

Wait! Egg Drop Soup needs Fortune Cookies!

You don’t have fortune cookies in the cupboard? No Worries.

Add Some Sparkle. Create Your Own!

Cut some photos. Add a strip of paper with a hand written fortune.

Roll up the fortune strip and pop in a tiny envelope.

Add a few Coins to make it a Real Fortune. Place One at Each Place Setting.

Silly? Sure! Trying Times Call for Ramped Up Silliness.

Just Stay Safe. Stay Well. Stay Strong. With a Sprinkle of Magic.

It’s not Chinese restaurant, but it’s comfort food, just the same.

How are you? I am thankful we are staying Sheltered in Place and we are safe and well. I hope you are too. I can’t think about all this for too long or I start to question the sanity of it all. But being Sheltered in Place is the right road to travel. So we …

We live on a busy street and sadly don’t really know our neighbors. There is No Community. Cars Wiz By and Neighbors Go About their Business. Isolated. Insulated. With Little to No Foot Traffic.

I know you have these 3 Ingredients. Sugar. Peanut Butter. Egg. That’s It. Oh, and Parchment Paper. I was quite impressed with myself that I had Parchment Paper. The box was unopened. I have no idea why I have Parchment Paper, but Cool…we are ready for a Quick Bake. Ready to Make Cookies for the …

I Love Everything about the Beach. The Smell of Salt Water. The Heat of the Sun on my Skin. The Coolness of the Water. The Rhythmic Sounds of the Waves. I Love It All. If I could have planned this, I would have happily Self Isolated in Florida. My Days would be at the Beach …

How are you holding up? Yes. I know. We are all doing the best we can. And hopefully it is working. For a Quick Break from being Inside, we walked the Irrigation Ditch. There were a few people with the same idea. We waved to each other and kept walking. Keeping safe distances. The sun …

School at Home. Work at Home. All at Home. No Problem. The “Cooker Man” is on the Case. How about some Pre-Packaged/Frozen Irish Stew? OK. It’s a Go. Hmmm. This was pricey and looks mighty skimpy for a Family of 4. No worries. I’ll just Beef it Up. Maybe once it’s totally defrosted it will …

This is all very frightening, but I see people coming together to try to comply with all that is thrown at them. Schools. Local Businesses. Offices. Theatres. BioParks. Restaurants. All Shutting Doors. Everyone staying Home. Some Working from Home. Hopefully a Solid Plan. Cleaning and re-cleaning all hard surfaces is Number One on the Task …

We had a Bathroom Flood that didn’t stay put in the Bathroom. Oh No. Water traveled under the wood floors into an adjoining Bedroom. The Wood Floors began to Heave and Ho in Waves. Testing confirmed Black Mold. A Major Clean Up was Done. One Month to Completion. The WET Floor was Cut Out and …

Finally. After 2 Months. We Have Our House Back. The Nasty Mold is Gone. Major Tear Down Construction is Over. Everything is Clean and Sparkly. And We had a Great Opportunity to Change It Up. Just a Little. All this for a Bathroom! Crazy. After Numerous Trips to the Tile Super- Store, Floor & Decor, …

This Simple Fix to Popping Tile Needs 2 Things…Utility Knife and Grout. That’s It. But first a little History Lesson on this Crazy Bathroom. The Bathroom has seen 60 Years of Home Remodels. All DIYs.

This sad story (with a Sure-to-be Happy Ending) begins with plumbing leaks in the bathroom. A steady, drip, drip, drip of water, that over time, got under the floor and behind the wall tiles. The water then eased into the subflooring, lifting the hardwood floors into wavy lumps, and single-handedly creating the Perfect Storm for …
