I’m entering week 5 of quarantine and Italy’s lockdown has already been extended to the 18th. I am not the most social person, but 5 weeks of not having left my house – it’s wearing on even me. I’ve been staying busy though, writing, reading […]
So I plowed through a few trilogies this month. I had hits, I had misses, and several that fell in between. Find out what I recommend, because you know you need more books to get through this annoying pandemic! Great Chefs Summer Desserts (1986) Lessons […]
