Warning: Pandemic May Include Side Effects
This pandemic killed my mother. No, she didn’t have the coronavirus, but I do believe the stress and loneliness of isolation killed her. She had pulmonary fibrosis, chronic pneumonia, and a smorgasbord of other health issues including a previous bout with stage four cancer and a baker’s dozen back surgeries. Following the death of her husband, she struggled to adapt to living alone for the first time in her life. The truth is she was sad and dying long before any lockdowns were sanctioned, but my grieving heart wants something to blame. Global chaos and a national emergency seem like as good of excuses as any. I believe the isolation was just too much when combined with the uncertainty of being able to hold her tribe again.

Breakfast Glory
In a time when opinions can be polarizing, we need to come together where it matters, obscure breakfast preferences. Cold syrup belongs on hot pancakes. Cold syrup is the best thing to happen to pancakes since chocolate chips. It’s the most underrated breakfast delight. Breakfast should arouse multiple sensations with a delicate balance of flavors, textures, and temperatures. Cold syrup on hot pancakes accomplishes this. It confuses the senses and awakens the taste buds. It’s pure breakfast excellence that has been ignored far too long.
