Everything Old is New Again

By on April 19, 2020

Especially when you are stuck in the house for more than a month with nothing to look forward to but more of the same.

It’s seems so unlikely, that I, who love to cook for people, would be stuck in my house all alone,  under house arrest along with my three dogs because of the Corona Virus.  But there you have it.  And I am not one to thrash against rules.  I understand there are people who are protesting and in some places openly violating the proscription.  OK, suckers.  Tell me where to send the condolence notes after your death.

Because to try to tilt at the windmill known as Corona is utter ignorance.  Just figure out a way to live with it and be damn glad you have a chance to live.  As for me  I miss my friends terribly – but I can talk to them on the phone.  I miss my friends terribly,  but I’d miss them more if they – or I – were dead.

And now that I only have myself and the dogs to cook for, I am returning to some old favorites because I can eat them over and over.  The dogs lick their lips a lot because the key to this recipe is Rotel tomatoes, but I figure its good for them to increase their culinary repertoire.

So here goes:  An oldy but a goody.
