What have you been eating the most? Do you have a recipe to share?
Luckily my partner Nick loves to cook, so he’s been cooking a lot of pasta, soups, baking breads and grilling. He made this incredible spiced chickpea with coconut and turmeric soup. I think it’s called “The Soup” from the NYT.
Here’s the recipe:

How are you moving your body/exercising?
I’ve been doing a lot of gardening and landscaping projects. I built a stone wall, a little boardwalk path to the stream, laid a bluestone patio, and now I’m onto spreading an enormous pile of mulch to make the plants happy.
