Having people over for dinner or going out for a bite is by far, my favorite way to socialize. Honestly it’s one of the only things I made it out of the house for. I think back to all the times I said the words “we are just going to order a bunch of stuff to share” and rounds of beautiful, delicious and clever bites would crowd the table. Those words sound detrimental now… so here I sit at home. Eating alone. Which is pleasant, don’t get me wrong but all this eating alone is effecting how I eat. With a virus seemingly everywhere I am more conscious of my food choices. All the pre and pro-biopics. Lots of water. Every green thing. Mega doses of vitamin C. Eggs, beans and cheese for all those D vitamins but… I am also much more prone to snacking. Peanut butter on anything. Oranges and dark chocolate bits (until the chocolate ran out). Popcorn with heavy doses of nutritional yeast and pints of blueberries.. I would site boredom but I’ve actually been quite busy. Most likely it’s that I actually miss people. The lack of connection is making me snacky. Has this shelter-in-place changed the way you eat? Are you cooking more? Let me know in the comments.
