During the pandemic food has sometimes been a preoccupation. I can’t go to the store like I used to, so I have to plan more carefully. I also have to improvise if I don’t have something I thought I had, but that can actually be kind of fun. Challenging at least! Because we have more time and can’t go out, we have cooked more and enjoyed it. Food is also something to think about and spend time on during long boring days. Like many people I have spent some time making bread. It was fun at first but I slacked off because we were eating too much bread! However, for some reason I recently decided to try making my own sourdough starter. It’s actually quite easy. I learned that there is “wild yeast “in many substances and just love that thought. Maybe we all have some wild yeast in us, growing in unexpected ways. Anyway, it’s so fun to watch it bubble and grow! And the bread is really good, probably the best I’ve made. I’ve been eyeing recipes for cinnamon rolls from sourdough starter, but so far I’ve resisted because that would be the beginning of the end for us! The biggest food-related change we’ve made is in how we eat. We started eating our big meal in the middle of the day, when we have more time and energy for cooking. I also like not going to bed feeling full. Another benefit is that we actually sit down at the dining room table with cloth napkins and everything! We have actually enjoyed sitting and talking. When we used to eat at night we were often tired and either ate quickly at the bar or while watching the news. I like our new routine! --Terese
