I love to cook and bake. However,
I do this less often now. My sons
have moved on and I am a widow.
I have no one to cook for but myself
most of the time.
My friends and I used to take turns treating each other to brunch once a month. We decided to stop doing this after COVI-19 hit our state. I am no longer meeting my friends to eat
out at restaurants. We are getting
take out or home delivery when we
don't want to cook.
I am staying home more and only run errands twice a week. I have more time to cook and bake my meals. I have saved a lot of money by cooking at home. So there is at least one positive result from the Virus. The second one
is that I have remained Virus free
by staying at home more.
My family decided to not travel to my Mom's house for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinners this year.
I will be cooking Holiday dinners for
my two sons though. I plan to cook plenty so they can take leftovers home.
I noticed recently that my steak knife was dull when I was cutting my steak.
I checked the rest of my knives and
they were dull too. Lucky for me, that my son has knife sharpening equipment. His hobby is making custom made knives. I gave him all of my kitchen knives and asked him to sharpen them for me. I have a weak grip in my hands. Chefs on cooking
shows say that using a dull knife
was dangerous. The knife could slip since I cannot grip the knife
handle tight.
He has finished sharpening my
knives. I am so happy! I need to
have sharp knives to do my Holiday cooking and baking.
He sharpens knives for my friends
and local butchers in the Research Triangle area.
He has a nice ad on Facebook
