During this Covid-19 siege as people are disrupting their habits, working from home and keeping a social distance, they are discovering how difficult it is to live alone. I, on the other hand, like most widows, single women without children or a lot of writers, have to learn to live with someone, also not easy, accommodating another person in one’s comfortable life. I’ve run out of dishwasher detergent (still okay with toilet paper).
Well, there’s a lot to do.
Roast chicken in an iron skillet. I usually dismantle the entire chicken right away, but I waited until the next day. Matt had a white breast chicken sandwich for lunch and I took it apart then, started a chicken bone broth that stayed on the stove for 8-10 hours. I turned it off last night and strained it this morning, have to make soup now . I made a chicken stir fry for dinner with rice, onions, red pepper, peas and carrots (frozen), and Szechuan sauce—a bowl dinner. good thing, too, because I just ran out of dishwasher detergent. (I’m using more dishes as I feed two of us.) There’s enough chicken left to make chicken salad today, with celery, onions and mayonnaise, for a romaine wrap.
Tonight we will have sliders (from Matt’s kitchen; he has recently been doing his own shopping), baked potatoes and salad. We’ve been using the raspberries, strawberries and blueberries we both had to use up Tonight I will cut up a pineapple.
