In twenty years or so I hope I have a conversation with my grandkids about "What did you do during the Plague of '20?"
What did I do?
I missed my kids, I missed my friends, played with my plants, tried lots of new recipes and walked a lot. I also discovered the goodness of people all over again. We were able to cook for friends and clients which in turn gave us an opportunity to pay some bills. Our little business didn't qualify for loans or assistance but once again we were shown there is always a way. Follow the Light!!
The news gets better because even in a pandemic fun things can occur. I rarely come across things I love so much I have to recommend them but in the last week I came across THREE! Three things I have to tell you about.
The first one was an answer to, well maybe not a prayer but definitely an answer to some really painful feet which was making my job even harder. Last weekend I delivered food to a fabulous friend of mine. As we were talking she noticed I was standing on one foot then the other so of course I suffer by committee so I loudly mentioned, my feet are killing me! She then showed me her shoes and said I had to get some as they were the most comfortable ones she had ever had. I told her I would try (right...) Well she and another friend buddied up and surprised me with a pair! They are amazingly comfortable and podiatrist approved. With the best name ever! OOFOS! Aptly named a recovery shoe I have such a crush on these shoes!I am not in any way being compensated for this glowing review, but I will be compensated if you get some and enjoy them as much as I have. I was running out of options for how badly my feet hurt. I am so glad I didn't keep my foot discomfort to myself that day! Love my friends!!
Aren't they fabulous? And they feel like foot heaven...
Wait there's more! Please know this never happens to me to run across things that I love like this! My kids gave me an incredible product for Mother's Day called Tan-Luxe The Face. You mix it with your own moisturizer for the best self tan you have ever had. My legs and arms were ghostly white and blotchy but after one application I looked tan and the spots were less noticeable. Honest! It was so easy!! The color is natural and really made a difference.
The last thing is chocolate! I made chocolate covered strawberries with a product called Sephra. A friend gave me a bag and nothing has been easier. I microwaved it in the bag it comes in and the chocolate is delicious! Did I mention it was so easy? An added benefit is it makes an incredible fondue. Perfection...
I know these are totally random things so I thought to make the blog complete I thought I would add some food...
This is a recipe several people asked me for when I made it for mother's Day. The sauce is the thing and again...so easy, but so very, very good. Think fried chicken with a delicious twist. I wish I had a great picture of it...but when you make it, however it looks, will be perfect!
Chicken in Basil Cream
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup panko (you can use bread crumbs but I like panko better)

3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup chicken broth

1 (4 oz) jar of pimentos
1/2 parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

If you have run across some things like this that you absolutely love...SHARE! We all need something new to online shop for...right?
