Today was just another Wednesday under SIP. On Monday night, as a special anniversary dinner, we made a beautiful piece of halibut with mango salsa and chocolate lava cakes. The salsa was one of my go-to recipes in high school. Then last night for cinco de mayo, James recreated our favorite dish from Mountain View. The second I came into the house I knew he was making camarones con salsa nueva. Delithioso.
This evening we tried to rally the little zombies for a family walk on the Bob Jones. Jake resisted mightily, till we left him at home and then he texted me endless regrets. Meanwhile Nate made it, but got pretty grumpy partway down the trail and wouldn’t talk. By the time we got home, the boys were both staging a hunger strike.
Look I get it. The lockdown life isn’t for everyone. It might not be for anyone. James and I enjoyed a quiet, delicious dinner of juicy blackberries, pineapple bacon sausages, and salad with pickled red onions and an assortment of sweet and spicy mustards.
The hunger strike lasted fifteen minutes.
