Nothing reminds me of how tenuous my understanding of time is like forgetting to set a kitchen timer. Has this been cooking for 20 minutes? 4 hours? There’s no way to tell.

If you are self isolating, there is no need to cook enough dinner for 8 people.
Dessert of course, should still be made for at least 12.
I’m not baking any bread but I might make a pyramid of Saltines and then punch it.

I made the banana pudding using the Magnolia Bakery recipe, and ate two bowls of it. Week 2 of quarantine is going great for my waistline.

My husband has been making pancakes and eggs for breakfast every morning and my kids are becoming accustomed to a standard I am not prepared to maintain after he returns to work.
