Everybody needs a holiday especially in the time of COVID. Unfortunately, it just doesn't seem possible without risking your health. To try and trick myself into thinking I am on vacation, I try to shuffle around my usually scheduled day with things I don't do everyday.
The weekends are an example of changing my routine. Saturday or Sunday mornings, I have started making more elaborate breakfasts. So far I have made Banana Pancakes, blueberry waffles and some incredible omelettes. Actually, I can't take credit for the omelettes, that is my husband's area of expertise. My two favorites of his are Pastrami and Swiss Omelette and the Chili Cheese omelette. I can guarantee you will not be hungry for awhile after eating either of those dishes. Of course I make bacon, because isn't everything better with bacon?
I also set the table, No paper. Pour orange juice and just relax and chat and eat.
I always have my kindle loaded with books and a stack by my bed. I have just decided to start my summer reading now. Romance novels and thrillers are top on my list. If it is sunny and warm I put my feet up on the chaise on the deck. If it is cold I sit by my fireplace. In the last two weeks it was actually cold enough to light the fire. Crazy I know.
It's also margarita Saturdays at my house. The ninja is out from under the cabinet and I am becoming quite the expert at making fruity adult beverages. This past Saturday I made a mixed berry margarita made with strawberries, blackberries and blueberries and Tequila. It definitely put me in a more jovial mood. They go well with nachos. Heck they go well with everything and think of all the vitamins and antioxidants they contain.
Hey I am not delusional. Nothing beats a real vacation but Here are some suggestions you might want to try. Desperate times means desperate measures.
