Another post in my world famous collection of Electronic Sticky Note Posts. For those new to the blog I post links to other food blogs with recipes that I want to try making. I have a head of green cabbage in the fridge. While wasting time online I found this: 20 Healthful Cabbage Dinners and […]

My oldest son is a physician. Not once has he informed his old parents to avoid crowds, wash hands for 20 minutes, etc. I would not be surprised if a muzzle came down from higher up. If only because we know from the Chinese experience that our health care system can get overwhelmed quickly.
I’ll stick with the science too. Stay safe.
