Thanks! I love cream cheese frosting too. It was so hard not to just eat it with a spoon.

I certainly hope next year we can!

This is like the nicest comment I’ve ever gotten. Thank you.

Thanks! My family says it’s delicious. I am my harshest critic and think it could be improved.  But it was very good. Nothing can be bad covered in cream cheese frosting!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Oh yes, tiny humans do make things a little more complicated but it can be so much fun. My godson is 3 and is learning to bake with his mom and I’m so sad I can’t help. He knows auntie bakes.

Thanks. :) She looooves belly rubs.  Sometimes she does deny the right to petting her but it’s mostly for pets.

That focaccia looks incredible. Glad to hear you had no vaccine issues. My best friend got her first shot a little over a week ago and besides some arm pain also reported no issues.

Your cookies look and sound great. I intended to do similar this year and package up cookies for my friends but I kinda failed at functioning and just barely managed to bake/frost enough for my mom and aunt.

I agree with all of this. Jez has been a blessing for me. I’m not super active here but I appreciate every single person.

I went to Florida for a week with my mom, aunt and little cousin at the end of February to visit my other aunt and uncle who were down there for the winter. I remember there was talk about COVID going on but it didn’t really seem like a reality here yet. There wasn’t really a ton of talk about lockdowns when we left.…

My badge is similar but it has the company logo on it. I was just responding to your question of if a cop pulled you over and you said you had to go in, how they would validate. I was told by my company that if that ever happened, my ID would be enough.

As far as I’ve always been told, they’d verify by your employee ID. It’s never actually happened but I work in financial services which is considered an essential business. The stock market very rarely closes and if the stock market is open, we have to work. We have WFH capability for everyone now but we were told…

That’s such a pretty lake. We got a decent amount of snow here. It didn’t look to me like as much as they expected though. 

The breadddddd. It looks so good.

Bruce! He is the most handsome.

My best friend is a front line worker and should be getting it very soon... if she doesn’t test positive for COVID because she just found out she was exposed.  Like really? You made it THIS far?

I’m also 35 and relatively healthy. I’m obese which counts as a comorbidity but it’s just that one. I’ve also been wondering just how this will happen. I do have a PCP though so I wonder if she’ll bring it up during my physical in January.

This is exactly how I feel. My best friend is a nurse who works on a COVID study and should be getting vaccinated next week. I have a couple other friends in first responder/essential jobs and my father is high risk. I will feel immense relief once the people I love are safer, even if I have to wait until April myself.
