Stuff unrelated to food, wine & spirits that I just feel like posting.
Yup, we’re still in Quarantine. Ostensibly, with some easing – as of this past Monday we were allowed to venture out for exercise for the first time in almost three months – specifically, “running, riding a bike, walking, or roller-skating”, no more than two people together, maintain physical distancing of 2 meters from other people,… Read More PeQuliar Pastas #11
It’s been awhile since I just did a post sharing “what have we been eating”…. Also, I’ve been offering some online classes – and if you’re sitting there at home thinking, I’d love to take a cooking class, why not…? Italian, Peruvian, French, Argentine, and more. Simple or complicated. Demo or cook-along. Contact me and… Read More Cooking in the Qasa
We’re back…. Sort of. We’re still in quarantine, but things have eased enough that we can start offering food for pickup and/or delivery. We’re starting slow, because we’ve not done this before and we’re still figuring it out. One or two days a week, one or two dishes, and limited quantities. It will, hopefully, be… Read More Qasa SaltShaker – Fettuccine Bolognese
Anticipation. Is keepin’ me waitin’. It’s kind of how we (and I’m sure pretty much everyone else who’s sheltering in place) feels. Once again we have another “end of quarantine” in sight, this Sunday, but we all pretty much expect another two week extension, as has already happened three times. The city government has proposed… Read More How to MaQe Rice
Day 48. What is there to say that hasn’t been said? Nothing new has happened here, other than we’ve taken in a stray…. A friend of Henry’s suddenly found herself with a day’s notice at the end of April that she couldn’t stay where she’s been staying. She’s been renting a small bedroom in a… Read More Chinese Qabbage & Shrimp Stir-Fry
Day 45. As expected, our quarantine was extended to May 10th a couple of days ago, with the specter of another two week extension hovering over the conversation. Also expected, after the president announced that people needed a little fresh air and sunshine, and offered up a new ruling that we’d be allowed out for… Read More Qeep the Leaves!
Well, looks like they’re probably going to announce tonight or tomorrow another two week extension of our quarantine, until, I guess, May 10th, and our health minister is already publicly suggesting that it’s likely it will continue until the end of May. While people have been pretty calm and accepting to date, that may start… Read More The Chili Qornbread Pie
Oh, where are we at…? Day 37 of lockdown. Perhaps some light at the end of the tunnel. Yesterday, the government here allowed for some cautious reopening of more businesses than just grocery and pharmacy. There’s still physical distancing, and we’re still only allowed out on the street for direct shopping trips. Masks became obligatory… Read More Three Qomfort Food Plates
