On Corona Time . . .

Around 7:30p.m.

Cooped up Covid conversation:

Me to William...Hey, I heard some guitar notes playing in here (he's in his bedroom).

William to Me...Yeah, I was trying to play the Soviet Union national anthem...(as I see him designing the Soviet Union flag on his monitor!!!)

Me to William...What is going on in here?

William to Me...I have an island...and it's a dictatorship!

Dinner was around 8:50p.m.

Soft Tacos

Helping me remember taco ingredients for the weekend shopping trip strategically located in a county with 5 cases of covid-19 instead of our counties' 500+.

Not a fan of tacos...

I took a gamble at the grocery that I had taco seasoning in the cupboard.

I lost the bet.

But won in the end.

This recipe was great and I need to make my own more.

I didn't have onion powder so I cooked 1/3 of an onion with the browning meat. Excellent choice if I do say so myself.

I followed two suggestions from commenters: I added 1 tsp of Better than Bouillon (chicken) to the browning meat and 1 tsp of corn starch into the dry ingredients so as to use almost a 1/2 cup water at the end of browning & seasoning to thicken up the little bit of sauce.

By 9:15p.m.

Time to make airplanes.

 I've had these great, "Make the best airplanes ever" books for 15 years.

Nice to see them for about the third time (second??) ever!

That used up a good 30+ minutes of corona time.

9:59p.m.

Spring break (haha) is over now.

Trying to convince them that we really do have a bedtime.

I mean...they have "school" meetings at 10:00am & 10:30am.

We NEED to get to sleep kids!

10:06p.m.

They finally went downstairs to play ping pong because I was asking them to brush their teeth. I wanted to finish this post so they have till 10:15p.m. and then things are getting real around here!
