Coronatine, Day Ten

here are my children

throwing frisbees in the park

(they’ve never done this)

quarantine, day nine:

presidential rampages,

orders to stay home

just look at my son:

showing pup what he can do

with our family

card and board games win

(break news cycle doom and gloom)

We WILL get through this.

Coronatine, Day Nine

trying to find peace

in simple, everyday walks

with green below snow

Coronatine, Day Six

our lives lived in lines

hoping that this snow will pass

and leave us with spring

Coronatine, Day Four (At Least There’s a Dog)

we survived day four

(survival: tears, backtalk, cards)

now it’s day by day

Costco Corona

as the line suggests

we’ve all rushed imminent death

trying to buy food

Pack Up the Car

a bluebird ski day

will forever be worth it

(Colorado love)

Instead of Bitching…

Tuesday win! I found this great recipe for one of my favorites, chicken marsala. That’s right, on a blah Tuesday night, I made chicken marsala!

Only instead of fettuccine, penne; instead of fresh thyme, dried thyme; instead of a purple shallot, a red onion; instead of heavy cream, evaporated milk; instead of chicken broth, vegetable broth; instead of mushrooms, artichoke hearts and cream of mushroom soup (40% less fat); and last but not least… instead of marsala wine, cooking wine mixed with Botabox Pinot Noir.

I know you’re jealous. It takes a really creative digger to be this good of a Tuesday night chef.

And instead of complaining, all the kids said they preferred this version instead of the original.

So instead of bitching, I’ll just enjoy these leftovers tomorrow.

Rest in Powder

powder has called out

waking us on Sunday morn

a soft, silent church

Snow Max

skiing is a dream

found in powdery wide slopes

in Colorado

Thermal Haven

what really matters

is that he enjoys hot springs

to fit in with us
