Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – A Sense of Tasting

…thanks to Cee for hosting The Fun Foto Challenge

Is anyone else as obsessed with food as I am during COVID-19? I suspect that most of us are if all the posts and Tweets and Facebook entries are any indication. We all started with a fetish for baking bread and then buying yeast and flour became a challenge. When we discovered that we could still buy bread and our waistlines were beginning to expand we backed off the bread baking craze for awhile (fresh baked bread is so much more tempting than store bought).

Many people were more concerned with having enough alcohol in the house. We’re not huge drinkers but I have to admit that I bought into the need for wine at the beginning and braved going out to buy several bottles. I wasn’t comfortable going into such a busy place even though the distancing rules were being followed. I wiped down all the bottles as soon as I got home.

Now that the those bottles are long gone I decided to try and order wine on line from two of our local wineries and my husband ordered beer from a local craft brewery. Both arrived within days and much faster than our grocery orders.

One way to combat boredom is to try and make our meals more interesting. My husband is the cook and I’m the baker. I haven’t done a lot of baking but I’m itching to do more. On the other hand my husband has made some fabulous meals during all of this. Here are just a few.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Sense of Hearing

…thanks to Cee for hosting the Fun Foto Challenge

I guess photos with this theme should evoke a sound in the imagination. Here’s what I came up with.

The sound of rushing water

…a crackling fire

I recently posted photos of flowers covered with rain drops so I had to go into the archives for these shots.

From inside High Park which is now closed until the cherry blossoms are done. They attract thousands of people to the park every year so the entire park is now blocked off to the public.1-AE59-D4-F-8140-469-F-800-D-467-A4-D3-E8-DD5

Sunday Trees – 441

 

….I missed last week but not surprising with the shock I encountered

I dedicate this page to Lisa McCully (Kierstead) and all the victims of the mass shooting in Nova Scotia.
