​Two Crazy Kitchens
​
Our 2 week Quarantine Vacay has involved 2 rental homes. That means, the 6 of us have had to adjust to 2 kitchens. Not really a huge deal.

The 2 homes have been wonderful, but also a little quirky. The kitchens have tested our patience, just a bit.

Getting Groceries

We've been doing curbside pick up, to keep things as safe as possible. It was over an hour round trip, for the first house. I miss the days of running back to the store for the thing you forgot!

Then where do you put everything? The cabinets and drawers were stuffed. 4 can openers, 3 coffee pots, 10 different designs of eating utensils and about 20 shot glasses. We kept food on the counters, which pleased a tiny mouse who very much liked bagels!

But our focus was on being together. The variety of forks was just amusing. The scenery from the grill, was amazing.

And eating all together for the first time in 10 months, was incredible! 

Second House

Now we're at the second house and we've been constantly amused by the dated kitchen. It took 3 of us to figure out the ancient convection oven.

There are no cookie sheets or casserole dishes. Oh my. ​
The trash compactor is comical. I thought it had exploded when Jamie turned it on. And the can opener needs to be thrown away. We made do with a Swiss Army Knife.
​
Grilling & Carryouts

​But kitchen issues really aren't worth ranting over.

We gave ourselves a pizza delivery one night and picked up a seafood feast, another day.

​Thanksgiving in August

And since the months ahead are uncertain, we had an August Thanksgiving meal. 6 at a table for 4, was extra cozy!
Picture
It's tricky finding things and cooking, in a strange kitchen. It's hard doing curbside shopping for more than 2. But oh how worth it! 

I am so THANKFUL to be spending time with this gang!

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021.

    CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!

    ​Navigating This Mess!

    The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016.
