Damn. We always miss the good stuff…

Since the virus apocalypse has killed our beloved Red Sox season this year, it’s been a struggle to find alternative viewing when we’re in the mood for something competitive.

So imagine my dismay when I realized we’d missed an entire day of stellar sporting events….

 

 

Damn it!

You know that was a nail biting, edge of your seat good time.

And if it wasn’t bad enough we missed the spitters?

 

 

Yes.

We missed that too.

In fact, we missed an all star line up of great competitions.

 

 

Cheese rolling and stone skipping?

Be still my heart.

 

 

Stupid robots and slippery stairs?

These are probably future Olympic events!

And we missed them.

Because we all still need a laugh.

Now that’s just rude.

This looks like a great idea since I always whup the husband at gin rummy and he won’t play with me anymore.

*Note to self – borrow neighbor’s rooster*

I really do miss traveling.

Even if it’s just to the next town.

Indeed.

Yeah.

Gwyneth  (correct spelling)  can bite me.

( Did I already post this one? Maybe… but the sentiment holds true. )

Cats.

They think they know everything. It happens to be tequila.

Stuff it Mittens.

Jesus… neither do I!

We’re doomed.

While I’m sure there are thousands of people using their forced quarantine time at home to be useful and productive….

I can honestly say I’m not one of them.

 

 

I’m not learning a new language, sewing masks for the homeless or even organizing my shoe closet.

What… you don’t have a closet solely devoted to shoes?

 

 

What I am doing is cooking.

And eating.

Trying new recipes.

And eating.

Resurrecting old recipes.

And eating.

Making up recipes.

And eating.

Are you noticing the trend here?

 

 

 

That sounds about right.

And while I had been dieting and exercising and lost 20 odd pounds before the virus locked me inside with the refrigerator?

 

 

Yeah.

That’s pretty much where I am now.

 

 

And that’s probably where I’ll be when this whole mess is over.

 

 

Now if you’ll excuse me, there are some double fudge caramel brownies in the kitchen that look lonely.

We can’t have that.

Just…. no.

Have you noticed how everyone is posting their favorite recipes online lately?

Quarantine fever is driving everyone into the kitchen and they just can’t wait to share.

Every time I look I’m inundated with pleas of,  “Try this, you’ll love it!” or  “Our family’s favorite. You won’t be disappointed!”

In truth, I rarely love it…. and am more often than not disappointed.

 

Friends are always extolling the virtues of kale, tumeric, tofu and other completely unappealing things…

 

kale

 

And after the recipe I saw yesterday?

I realize I simply need new friends.

Yeah.

I’m pretty sure parsnip spice cake won’t be happening in our kitchen any time soon.

Proof positive correct spelling is important.

In these stress and virus filled days, we need to be able to trust the information being disseminated by the authorities and local media.

Sometimes they get it right.

Sometimes they don’t.

 

 

Of course incorrect spelling does make wonderful blog fodder.

 

 

Not to mention creative ways to use those extra bananas on your kitchen counter.

 

 

Who needs banana bread when you can do this?

Pandemic humor… laugh while you can.

Because we all need a chuckle.

 

 

 

Well done kitty.

Now step up your game and fetch us some toilet paper.

 

 

Does anyone think about all the poor out of work hookers?

No.

But I’m sure they’re feeling the pinch as well… although probably not in the places they’re used to.

 

 

Sad, but true.

 

 

Also sad, but true.

I read a cockroach can survive for 6 months without it’s brain. Hell, Keith’s got that record beat already.

 

 

Other places?

Ay caramba!

 

 

Even I’ll say amen to that.
