The COVID-19 blues are getting me down. When I’m down, I want to eat something. When I want to eat something during this time of pandemic, I nearly always have to cook it. But cooking is part of my job, so I essentially have to do my job whenever I want to take a break from my job.
The COVID-19 blues are getting me down.
I have about 200 cookbooks in my kitchen at home. I have maybe two or three times that number at my office, as far as I remember. I haven’t been to the office, except for occasional forays into straight news writing, for nine months. I could have had a baby in the time it has been since I last cooked in the office kitchen, if it weren’t for a few obvious physical limitations.
