Wooden Spoons and Chardonnay

 I'm trying to get out of this huge funk that I've been in, and I mean funk with a capital FUCK. I've been laid off since March 31 and have achieved absolutely nothing, unless you count the weight gain. 😟 When I went to visit my daughter, she introduced me to one of her favorite foods; Starbucks bacon and gruyere egg bites. They were awesome. Expensive as hell, but so good.  So, I'm attempting to make them myself and if they turn out ok, I will post the recipe.   Here are the before pictures:  and I didn't have a "Sous Vida" whatever in the fuck that is, so I'm using small muffin cups and a water bath.  I'll let you know how I do in about 30 minutes..............

Well, it's been a while.  So much has happened since the last time I dropped some thoughts here. 3 years have passed.  There have been times I've wondered what was going on with me.  I've had zero desire to write. Zero desire to create. Zero desire to cook. Zero desire to pretty much do anything that involves me leaving my bed.  Then, it clicked.  It's been three long years (almost four) of Donald Trump. I'm going to try really hard not to turn this blog into a political one, but be warned; Facebook has sucked the life out of me, Twitter is where I do political battle and I try to keep Insta to just pictures. Sometimes I slip.  Tonight, I'm going to try to catch up, just a bit.  It's so hard though. So much is going on.  This is 2020 after all.   The year we will all someday look back on and wonder how in the fuck we survived it. (If we survived it) As I type this, 183,000 Americans have died from the Covid19 virus.  Coronavirus. Donald Trump calls it the &q
