Quarantine Reading: Support Indie Book Stores

As I mentioned last week, I have been reading more lately.  I also know many independent bookstores are struggling to stay afloat.  So, I have been making an effort to support them, and here some purchases I made recently at Verso Books, one of my favorite publishers.

What’s Cooking: Quarantine Edition

I have been working from home for the last 15 years, so this staying home business is nothing new to me.  However, this lockdown has forced me to do more things at home to distract my attention from the horrible public health crisis we are currently dealing with worldwide. I’ve done more house cleaning, reading books, Zoom meetings, and binge-watching TV in the last month than I have done in the last year.

I am also cooking more, and trying new recipes.  I discovered this woman on YouTube under the name Stove Top Kisses, who does some of the most sumptuous recipes I have tasted in a while.  The narrating cook is also a lot of fun to listen to!

Here are a few of my recipes I have tried so far:

Quarantine Music Time

Since I am spending even more time at home, I get to listen to all kinds of music and sounds!  It is a great way to tune out all the crazy going on in the world now.  If you are looking for something new, check some of these out.

 

Maysoon Zayid is Amazing!

I had the opportunity to see comedienne Maysoon Zayid recently, and she is amazing!

She is a Palestinian Muslim living with cerebral palsy.  Maysoon is courageous in her thinking, activism, and humility, and I think more people should know about her!
