And The Quarantine Goes On

Right now the status quo or shelter-in-place continuous indefinitely (or May 31st here in California according to the recent order) and thankfully Spring marches forward with its gorgeous blooms as well. I am so happy with all the beautiful roses currently in bloom in my garden. Green thumb I don't have, nor do I enjoy puttering in the garden like many others, but I truly enjoy the roses when in bloom. And in quarantine I have so much time to watch them and they give me so much pleasure. In pre-quarantine time I barely noticed my garden and sometimes the blooms would fall out by the time I have time to be in the yard. But thankfully now I do and during breaks from my WFH duties, I go out and literally smell the roses.

And because of the quarantine, even though we work from home, my husband was able to start his vegetable garden - one he's been talking about for a long time. It's on its starting stage, but everything looks good so far.

On the diet front, I was doing a low-carb diet before the quarantine. I've been good so far, although I've "binged" on carbs on more occasions this quarantine and I feel lousy about it.

I am a mediocre cook and my go-to dish is stir-fry veggies.

Different veggies same stir fry style.

My husband is a great cook. He made lamb shank with mashed cauliflower. Restaurant quality if you ask me (of course I'm biased).

Very sad of the economic impact this quarantine has on many businesses including restaurants, so we make a point to order take-out at least once a week. We are normally a cook-at home couple because we want to control what's going in the food we eat, but to support the local businesses we order take out.

The Cauliflower dough pizza at Costco is really good.

I have developed a strong liking to cauliflower fried rice.

So, that's what's going on in my neck of the woods. How is everyone? Hopefully, you're enjoying the beauty of Spring and eating all the carbs that you want, j/k.
