I read a meme several weeks ago that at the end of the stay at home order that "half of us would become fantastic cooks and the other half would become alcoholics." That resonated with me, not because I was worried that we would become drunks, but more because I realized that Doug would now have time to cook all that he wanted. He has told me several times over the years that if he could pick any job besides being an accountant that he would have been a chef. We have appreciated all that he has cooked for us these past six weeks even the nights when we have been "guinea pigs" for his experiments.
Since Cam won both of the "dinner of your choice" Easter egg prizes last Sunday, Doug asked him to plan this weekend's meals. Cam thought about it for a couple of days and finally came up with some of his favorites from our tailgate meals this past fall. Friday night's dinner choice was queso dip and Red Lobster biscuits. Sunday evening we were treated to pepperoni pinwheels and buffalo chicken dip. Both meals were fantastic and a diversion from our traditional menu. They even reminded us of our weekends in Bloomington during IU's football season. Between those two meals and Meg's request for mostaciolli Saturday night, we almost forgot that the restaurants in town were closed. Doug's cooking has definitley been one of the best parts of our self imposed quarantine.
