Outside My Window
Outside my window, what do I see? I see car after car after car. Where are they going? Are they going to get gas, the gym, are they picking up medicine for their sick grandmother? I don't know. Maybe they do. The air reeks of sadness. Mr. Sun is not here. I know that if I step outside my apartment and look up in the sky, all I will see is clouds. With COVID, things are not like they used to be. Many restaurants are closed right now. For the few that are, there aren't dine in options; or they are encouraging social distancing. It's the kind of day that makes you want to stay in bed, sleep, or watch a movie. Make sure you have comfortable pajamas, because right now, THAT is the only comfort to be had. There is no end in sight. One can't even let out a cough or a sneeze without stirring up a panic. Friends who confide in one another can't provide a hug for relief for their friend their is hurting, or even a shoulder to cry on.

Fennel Chicken Stirfry
Here is a recipe that literally just popped into my head. It is meant so be a delicious, savory dish; comfort food you can enjoy alone, in the company of coworkers, family, and or friends, in spite of your differences. Essentially, the intent behind this dish is enjoyment and bringing people together! With the fear and dread caused by COVID-19, nothing is certain, and we don't know if/when this pandemic will come to an end. However, one thing is CERTAIN: this time above all others definitely calls for a LOT of comfort food.

Everyday Heroes
What is a HERO? Most people, when they think of a HERO, they might think of Batman, Superman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and the many others seen in Marvel Comics and throughout the DC Universe. While we would love to think that these HEROES brought to us by the great Stan Lee exist, this is a fictional representation we envision that is based on an overactive imagination. A non-fictional HERO, in other words doesn't have any super powers, nor do they fly around in a cape, leotard and tights. They don't have aliases, or secret identities that would endanger their families and friends if discovered. So again, what is a HERO?

Zippy the Zebra
Zippy the Zebra: Zippy Earns His Stripes In the wild of Africa lives a Zebra. This Zebra is graceful, beautiful, and has the most glorious stripes. Although, this Zebra is now a mother, because she just birthed a half dozen Zebra foals. They are cute, and cuddly, and their mother is very protective of them. The sun rises over them, and the babies squint, unable to open their little baby Zebra eyes, because the sun is so bright. As with most groups of newborn baby Zebras, they range in size. However, one of the babies is the smallest of them. This one baby Zebra is named Zippy. He is his mother’s favorite. Zippy is unique, as his mother noticed he was born without his stripes.

Heidi the Hummingbird
Heidi the Hummingbird: Heidi Saves A Bumble Bee Heidi is a cute little Hummingbird. She is very small, but she is cute and fast. Do not be fooled by her size. She may be small, but she has a big heart! Heidi loves flowers. She also loves nectar! Betty is an adorable Bumble Bee. She is cute with wings and yellow and black stripes. She has a stinger, too! Oh! Did I forget to mention, she’s a cute, little bumble bee? A lot of people are afraid of bumble bees because they are fast, sneaky, and have stingers. The truth is, all they want to do is pollenate the flowers to make the world beautiful, and they only use their stingers when they are in danger and feel threatened. So, while people are afraid of most bumble bees, Betty is very small, and friendly. She wouldn't hurt a fly! Betty lives in a beehive. That bee hive is in the tree where Heidi lives! While bees usually live together, Betty prefers to live by herself. She likes to have her own space.

Dottie the Duck
Dottie the Duck: The Winter Ahead There is a hotel by the airport in Salt Lake City, UT. The hotel is very special, and is a Doubletree! The hotel is special because behind that lake is a walking trail. In the middle of the walking trail is a very special scenic lake. In that scenic lake, live many geese and ducks. They are very cute, and the guest like to feed them. One duck in particular is very special. She is special because she doesn’t fly south for the winter. The little duck’s name is Dottie. Dottie is female. She is plump, with a lot of feathers to keep her warm in the cold weather, and she loves to swim around, and bob her head to catch fish. The fish are typically very fast, but in spite of Dottie's size, she is agile, and much faster. She has a lot of friends and family because she is so sweet and cute! Everybody loves Dottie.
