During these extremely trying times when we are all safely staying at home, I knew I had to change up the days to make life interesting. And to Ease the Scariness. Even though, in my heart, it is beyond Scary.

We Tackled the Scariness, by Creating New and Exotic Meals. Together.

Edamame Spaghetti?

Cooking with Mom and a Friend. Electronics Save the Day. Over and Over.

Experimental Cooking.

Being Brave by Taste Testing.

Practicing Skills.

Sharing a Crazy New Meal in a Silly Space. Laundry Room Dining?

Edamame Noodles in Meat Sauce. Sorry. Yuck! But Great for Giggles.

Another Day. Another New Recipe. Chicken Sausage with Potatoes.

A Bit Chilly, but a lot Al Fresco.

The Butler’s Pantry. Another New Dining Spot.

A New Mexico Favorite: Green Chile Stew a la Vegetables On Hand.

Comfort Food for the Body and Soul.

Next, a Potpourri Experience. Shrimp. Caesar. Macaroni and Cheese. Ribs.

Pantry Dining on a Versatile Folding Table. With Silver Flatware and Italian Sparkling Water. Fancy yet Goofy.

Sharing. Together. No Electronics Necessary.

Sometimes by Candlelight Tealights.

Or Dining by the Fish Pond.

What I Will Remember from This is We Need these Meal Times to Connect. To Reassure Each Other We are Doing Fine. We are Staying Safe. Every Day We are Learning and Growing. This Too Will Pass.

And, Most Importantly, We are Loved.

Powerful Magic. Please Stay Safe. And Always, Always, Sprinkle in Fun.
