I made banana nut mini-muffins on Saturday.

I made peanut butter cookies today. Same recipe I've been using for a while, but Diane said they didn't taste very peanut buttery, I think COVID has dulled her sense of taste, I know mine is still a bit off.

Diane's appetite is starting to return, so I made meatloaf tonight.

I had a sandwich, Diane had peanut butter on toast. Her appetite hasn't bounced back from COVID yet, mine mostly has.

Our newest refrigerator (in the basement) has a mode switch to go between refrigerator and freezer mode, very handy for defrosting a freezer, you just move everything over for 2 days.

The challenge with providing a list of sources is that by the time the book is printed, half of those sources may no longer be current.
