Day 65 of social isolation had a twist. Zoom Call while cooking. Food Netwok sent Porcupine Meatballs as the recipe of the day. The Recipe opened up childhood flood gate of comfort home food. the recipe was forwarded to my siblings and share with brother and sister in-laws. Time to cook is 5:oo pm MST. the onslaught of confirming follow up texts lasted for 2 days. It is easier herding cats that coordinating Zoom Cooking.
