Pandemic Life. In this coronavirus (covid-19) time, one would think cooking would be a great pastime. I've always used the kitchen as a way to relieve stress. But now, not so much. I've found little joy in it as of late, unfortunately, certainly not like I normally do. Plus it's not exactly easy getting groceries in these times. However, I always want to turn out a good meal, that is just part of my nature. Anyway, I'm still here and virus free at this minute...
Cooking is my hobby and I love it. It relieves my stress. I use recipes as a base line...I find a few and compare. Then I make my own personal concoction from what I've learned. This blog has become my personal cooking journal. It helps me remember what I've made/liked and didn't. But mostly, this is for my son. I hope he makes some of these dishes one day...One of the nicest things he's said to me is that he's never had a bad meal with me, at home or at a restaurant (research wins!).

Avgolemono (Greek Lemon Chicken) Soup
Hard to believe I've never made this before. I love all egg drop soups. Italian Stracciatella and this Asian one that I've made before. Time to try Greek tonight. I love this one as it's so creamy without having any dairy in it. I garnished my sons with chives as he despises dill.

Tea Poached Pear, Leek and Cheddar Galette
I saw this on food t.v. and it looked interesting to me in that it was sweet and savory, so I gave it a go. I think it would be great with goat cheese instead of cheddar as well... I've always wanted to make a "galette". I used the other pie crust to make a "crostata" which is essentially the same thing except one is French and the other is Italian (I think it's easy to guess which is which 😊)
