From Linda Stewart
It is Sunday morning of a Victoria Day weekend like no other in memory.
The new rules of living with a global pandemic are surreal for everyone. Thank you Dave and Aurora Seniors for reaching out to extend shared experiences, ideas, entertainment and inspiration to make the best of our days during this time.
Enjoying good food is a favourite pastime for many and something we can do in isolation. I would like to share/exchange recipes (modified for one person, double for 2), which make my day better knowing I will be eating a delicious dinner.
We are going into 10 weeks and I am getting low on new dishes.
