Sometimes you just need to keep things simple.

And sometimes, a global pandemic forces you to keep things simple.

Which is why this week, I am posting this lovely recipe which you can whip up for lunch or supper.

No fuss.

And, my post is also no fuss this week.

BC: Before Corona

Normally, I would fill this post with a tale or two of our family or friends gathering…

How we cooked a fantastic meal, laughed and chatted.

And then I’d share the recipe with you so you could give it a go.

But we are now 6 weeks into isolation and our table is the quietest it’s ever been.

AC: After Corona

Social-distancing and isolation.

I can’t lie… lockdown is starting to impact my writing brain.

Groundhog day can become a little troublesome when you’re trying to write.

I mean, I could still write about my day.

It goes a bit like this (*and this is a good day):

• Wake up (a little later than usual),
• Breakfast (eat slower than usual),
• Garden (actually garden!),
• Tea break,
• Garden some more,
• Cook a new recipe (if you have the ingredients),
• Do an online exercise session (scare neighbours with my red face, grunts and flailing arms)
• Walk the dog (she’s already been on two walks)
• Tidy house (impossible with us all here, all the time!)
• Cook some more,
• Watch TV (there really is nothing on),
• Bed (earlier than usual).

And then… REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT. REPEAT.

But I figured that you might find this a little tedious.

Because…

It is tedious!!

Lockdown is tedium personified

So, there you have it.

My cards are on the table.

I’m having a low-ebb week.

And so, I’m afraid (btw, if you’ve made it this far in the post, you’re officially bored too), I have nothing more to say.

Except, this is a lovely quick recipe to feed your loved ones.

And I promise (no, I don’t), that next week, I’ll be very spritely (unlikely).

But for now.

I have to take the dog for her walk (…she doesn’t want to go, she’s knackered).

“Come on, Bella!”

Having a ‘low-ebb-week’? Let me know what you’re cooking to help cope with lockdown.
