The New Normal / Weeks 07, 08, 09, and 10
May. 26th, 2020 12:00 amFolks, I owe comments on my last post and need to catch up with the flist, but I wanted to say hello and write something here before I fell too far behind.
Weeks 07, 08, 09, and 10 have been very quiet.
( Sickness (mine, not serious) )
In part because of the above, there is not a single thing of interest to report from this end, unfortunately. The semester has wrapped up and the summer research and writing period has begun. I continue to be ridiculously, childishly disappointed about the lack of swimming opportunities, but that won't last forever. In the meantime, I'm going to get walking again as soon as I feel better. (I'm getting to know the three-mile radius around my apartment very well, including the paths and trails leading into the large public park nearby.)
Let me offer a few goodies before I sign off:
*** I'm almost embarrassed to make a baked goods recommendation here, because I didn't do the baking myself and I know so many of you are excellent bakers in your own right, so who am I to recommend anything to you? But this is a truly extraordinary simple chocolate cake I recommend wholeheartedly:
King Arthur's Original Cake Pan Cake (There's an icing recipe, but the cake was heavenly even without.)
( *** Have some gorgeous flowers )
*** Thanks to
therealsnape, we're having a final week of discussions over at
covidcoffeecorner--please come join us!
Hope you are all well, folks!
