12. Wow! Thank you!

I've been in love with food most of my life. When I went to college, I had my own apartment because my school didn't have dorms or a meal plan. All I really knew how to cook were a few dishes: Scrambled eggs, hot dog, hamburgers and tuna sandwiches! A friend gave me my first cookbook, "The Starving Artist's Cookbook" and I learned a lot of the basics. It was a pretty funny book and I still have it on our kitchen bookshelf.

My wife is a true foodie who can take a glass of ice water and turn it into a delicious meal. So, we have quite a bit of fun planning our meals and it's not unusual for us to discuss our dinner menu while we're having our morning coffee.

I'm so sorry to hear you've got Covid. It's an insidious disease and I hope your symptoms are manageable. it sucks to lose your sense of taste during the pandemic since food is one of the few joys we can still enjoy! Here's a hopeful thought. A friend who recovered from the virus had her sense of taste return and I hope the same for you.
