For the Foodie
If you don’t know what a “foodie” is you are probably around the same age as Peggy & Judy. For all you “oldies” . . . “gastronome” and “epicure” define the same thing.  If you don’t know what gastronome and epicure mean it’s a person who enjoys food for pleasure.

• Have a picnic on the floor (benefit-no ants, just dust).
• Get takeout. Support independent restaurants which are hurting right now by eating their food. It’s reported that takeout service Grubhub will stop collecting commission of up to $100 million to support independent restaurants that use their service. (Just make sure you limit your contact with the delivery driver and wash your hands after unpacking the food.)
• Have your own wine tasting of whatever bottles you have.  No wine?  Have a tea-tasting.
• Make a new recipe, like dog biscuits.
• Perfect grandma’s special recipe.
• Make coffee, and study how many beans you use, which types, how hot the water is, how long it brews and whether any of that even makes a difference.
• Read your cookbooks and find new culinary sites on the internet.
• Make doggie biscuits – peanut butter should be the #1 ingredient
• Watch “The Great British Baking Show,” and bake something with the ingredients you have on hand
• Organize your spice rack alphabetically.
• Make a cocktail or mocktail  (if you don’t know what a mocktail is you’re over the age of 21) Don’t forget the garnish.
• Cook something special – make a double recipe and give half to an elderly neighbor and the other half to your dog.
