My Dad and Stepmom have been battling Covid at home for the past 18 and 15 days respectively. My dad has not had any GI issues but my stepmom couldn’t keep anything down for the first 10 days and now has had diarrhea for the last 5.

1. 11/3 to celebrate my husband’s birthday. 2. Same day. We have been eating indoor at restaurants since 4/15. Even did a 2 week road trip in June and went to restaurants(some indoor/some patio) in 6 different states. 3. The one we went to in April, local place called River City Bistro. The only places still not open for indoor dining are fast food places like Chickfila, Taco Bell, McDonalds, etc. 4. We like eating in a restaurant but really enjoy patio dining. I like how creative restaurants became with takeout - family meals, freezer meals, etc 5. I don’t think any restaurants have closed, thankfully.

Cellulitis?

We’ve only ever own 1 washer and 1 dryer. They’ve both lasted for 20 years and still work.

Yes!

I love, love, love their white Corelle-type dishes(another recommendation from The Hive). They are lightweight, stand up well and take up very little room in the cabinet.

3 Styrofoam mannequin heads(dd wants them for her birthday)

Thank you!! I can't wait to try it! When we lived in Colorado, a little restaurant had the best Green Chile and I've been trying to recreate it ever since. They served it over refried beans with a side or tortillas and guacamole.

I'm always looking for a good Pork Green Chile and would love your recipe. Pork Green Chile is hard to come by in the South. 😜 Going to try the Fish Stick Tacos too. :)

While visiting family in Colorado this week(we drove), my SIL told us how we could get low airfare to come visit more often. I never googled or research airfare before or after the conversation. And fwiw, I NEVER fly. Today, airfare ads were popping up on my Facebook. Have you ever listened to Reply All's podcast "Is Facebook Spying on You?" It's interesting.

I got the flu last Spring and it was a full 10 days before I got my energy back. I'm a runner and in fairly good shape, and it wiped me out.

I second Essentials of Italian Cooking. Wonderful book! â¤ï¸

Someone who knows the family shared his story and asked for prayer on our Sunday School Facebook page.

Thank you! I have 4 books in my cart right now. :)
