What most liberals don’t realize.

That relentless brain fog you might be experiencing through this pandemic is called allostatic load.
Around the blogosphere
Have you heard from anyone surprising lately? I must admit, I’ve been reaching out to a couple of people that I’ve lost touch with. I was surprised that they popped in my mind when the pandemic started, but I also felt like this is a sign and as good as any other time to reconnect, so why not?
Steph lives inside my head, I swear.
Craftiness/DIY
DIY Wood Nightstand with Drawer. I wish I was more into – and had more space for – carpentry.

Deliciousness

We’ve made Salisbury Steak a couple of times. It’s so easy and good.
This sounds like the perfect summer dish: Caprese Prosciutto Farro Salad.
I’ll have one – or five – of these Almond Raspberry Cheesecake Bars, please and thank you.

May 28, 2020 at 12:19 amI liked the Atlantic article on the alternatives on the question “How are you?”
I am currently doing a course as a Mental Health First Aider, and I have learnt how crucial and important that question is. The alternatives given in the article are great.

May 28, 2020 at 5:55 amGreat compilation! I need to try that jalapeno chicken sandwich, and I think I have everything for it in my kitchen already! Planning to read the brain fog and “What To Ask…” articles when I have a few calm moments to focus. I reached out to more “random” people in the beginning of the pandemic, but they didn’t really pan out. I guess we lost touch for a reason!

May 28, 2020 at 6:55 amThose cheesecake bars sound really good. I’m not a huge cheesecake person as it’s too rich for me usually, but the bars sound good since they aren’t so dense/thick. I would need to make them when we could actually see other people and share food because it would be dangerous to have those in my house!!
