It's very similar to another favorite of ours from the NY Times, except the Times one has pumpkin. Both easy to make with mostly ingredients we have on-hand, which is especially appreciated right now. <br />https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020463-coconut-curry-chickpeas-with-pumpkin-and-limeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-33767203696193194882020-04-12T11:46:33.387-04:002020-04-12T11:46:33.387-04:00Made Maddie's Chickpea Curry last night and us...Made Maddie's Chickpea Curry last night and used your recommended Chunky Chat masala. (I gave these to me and my adult children as Christmas stocking stuffers.) This was so good. I used a full can Coconut Cream because that is all I had and it was perfect. Thank you again for making me laugh. I too have become overly anxious watching people get too close to each other on TV and in movies. Not sure we will ever get back to the way we were.

I am an artist (www.karenebsnonart.com) and I have to say I cannot make art/paint or read right now - all my usual loves. All the time in the world right now puts a big "SHOULD' speech bubble above my head but I think it's also okay to allow ourselves to not function in any kind of productive way right now. There is just not room in my head for grief/paralysis/anger/anxiety AND creativity/focus. I can bake, walk the dog, or do a crossword or spelling bee. Small victories are all I can manage right now and I think I'm ok with that. (P.S. Thank you for your always lovely, real posts and love the messy house tour!)karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141454961797742347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-2675019449476974292020-04-10T13:33:13.384-04:002020-04-10T13:33:13.384-04:00I wake up in the morning excited that there is a n...I wake up in the morning excited that there is a new Spelling Bee.

I thought "The Last Astronaut" by David Wellington was going to be like "The Martian" by Andy Weir, but it's more like "Annihilation" with Natalie Porter. Still, they are not spreading anything to each other! :-)Sweetwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02553640056997607500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-84271497626847153322020-04-09T15:20:53.134-04:002020-04-09T15:20:53.134-04:00I just read your "good enough holidays" ...I just read your "good enough holidays" article--it was beautiful, thank you so much! We (3 of us) had our sh'vach seder last night & it was surprisingly OK. We had very elaborate handwashing at the sink together (a la Sanjay Gupta) while discussing how ancient rituals can become relevant in unexpected ways & the theme carried through the whole thing.

It's sort of apropos given that the main character is isolated, but he very beautifully finds a way to overcome. Or if you need a little more escapism right now, The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern is very entertaining. The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh is lovely. And if you want to completely diverge from the norm, John Scalzi's Old Man War series have the best dialogue I've ever read and are wonderful sci fi escape stories. I don't even like sci fi and I can't put them down.
