i'll heat up some split pea with ham soup, if it's thawed. otherwise, i'll have a grilled cheese sandwich. a slice of raspberry marble bread with a little margarine for dessert! :biggrin:
@artiemom , @Winchester -- i'm also doing some stocking of some 'essential' supplies. i feel like there's a 'storm on the horizon' potentially, as far as the coronavirus goes. here in NY State we're holding pretty darn steady at very low new cases statewide, but the spread in most states is...
