And just like that we have moved to another month in 2020, but weirdly I still feel stuck in the month of March — when I came home in the middle of my college semester for spring break, which, ultimately, extended into the rest of the academic year. I finished my junior year of college […]

I go to bed thinking about all of the ingredients in my fridge that I can use to prepare something sweet (is that normal?). Heavy cream, what can I do with that? Leftover chocolate chips, what about those (besides a good afternoon snack)? How about that bowl of egg yolks? If I’m being honest, I […]

Another week — and just thinking of that makes my head spin. Another week in quarantine, in isolation, in this wild time, where being at home is a blessing and taking classes online is the new normal. I guess last week was my emotional crack. My last blog post shows it. Experiencing this time has […]
