I hope all members are well and safe.
My husband and I have been sheltering at home since mid-March except for
curbside delivery of groceries, a weekly trip to the UPS store to ship
books and pick up our mail (there is no mailbox on our property), and
walks around the neighborhood, which has very empty streets. My
husband's brother and his wife usually come here for Thanksgiving and
Christmas, but they are too cautious to do it now.
I am annoyed that vaccine distribution plans seem more oriented to
boosting the economy than preventing deaths and serious illness.
Sacramento County is about to issue another shutdown order any day now
because the ICU beds are almost full.
Otherwise, I've been sewing (but not costumes), reading, watching
costume movies, and working on my business.
As usual, I saved up titles of costume books to receive for Christmas
and put them on my gift list.
I've been doing a lot of home baking since March, instead of going to
bakeries. I finally mastered the crusty French baguette but bagels are
an issue. If I make a rope and press the dough together, the bagels
want to fall apart. If I use a biscuit cutter, the bagels want to fall
apart. If I make a ball of dough and push a hole into the middle with
my fingers, the bagels want to fall apart. Any suggestions?
