JP began self isolating and using the downstairs guest room and guest bathroom 2 days later, and I was laid off from work 2 days after that. It has been a worldwind of weirdness for our family, and (I'm guessing) for a lot of people.
After 2 weeks off school, the Governor extended the closures through April 6th, and although we have very poor internet connectivity in our school district, the schools have made plans to begin work on line (for those who can) and handed out packets of information and lessons (for those who can't connect.) So the girls start lessons again tomorrow.
Because it seems a good way to keep friends and family updated on how we are doing, I decided to dust off this old blog and fire her back up!
This week we decided to try to make a literary themed meal - the menu items should be from (or inspired by) a book or movie.
Literary Menu
-Danny the Champion of the World (Roald Dahl) - Toad in a Hole
We actually made this one before - link here.
-Farmer Boy (Laura Ingalls Wilder) - Creamed Carrots
This recipe was found in my The Little House Cookbook.
-Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (Rick Riordan) - Blue Chocolate Chip Cookies
I found this recipe on a blog, but I'm not crazy about it. I would recommend that you just add blue food coloring to the wet ingredients of your favorite chocolate chip recipe.
-The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (CS Lewis) - Turkish Delight
J has been wanting to try to make this for a long time, so we FINALLY did it! It was different. Good, but not selling my siblings out to the White Witch good.
Have you been trying anything new to make the pandemic, social distancing, and stay at home orders more fun?
