In Good Company

So for two years, I avoided it like the plague. I washed my hands for 20 seconds, stayed six feet apart from my fellow man, hand sanitized my hands raw, wiped down groceries, sprayed disinfectant on the mail, Instacarted groceries, Amazoned everything, had shoe washing stations outside my front door,

Never Have I Ever

Wished I was older than I do right now. Three years and nine elusive months older and I would be eligible for the life-saving, virus-busting, normality-restoring coronavirus vaccine. For those of us who used to ask “What did you do this weekend?” by the non-existent water cooler (Answer these days,

Wednesday’s Child

I’ve diagnosed myself with an unfortunate condition. It’s called Doomscrolling. While, I didn’t used to be a cell phone addict- often (unlike my American Express card) I would leave home without it- lately, I’m constantly on it, reading all sorts of Bad News.

When it Rains, It Pours

It started with my car. After driving home from the Keys in the rain, my bags in the trunk felt a bit damp. As I opened up the trunk to see what was going on, I was greeted with a good inch of water inside. I pulled out tons of

How to Grocery Shop Safely

#1 Know Your Store. I think this is the most important bit of advice, should you choose to grocery shop and not Instacart. I’ve been venturing out more lately and some people (like my friend Sherida) like to shop themselves. So “my” Publix on Monza is super-small and the aisles

Muy Easy Cinco de Mayo Meal

When I asked Mexican friends about Cinco de Mayo, they told me Cinco de Mayo isn’t a big holiday in Mexico. Mexico’s Independence Day is celebrated on September 16th and this is the day people in Mexico have big celebrations. They told me Cinco de Mayo was an invention of

Of Masks and Men

Fashion Statements I asked my friend Martha, who is a social Cuban butterfly, how she was holding up in the pandemic. “Oh, I change from one mumu to another every day,” she said. She really misses having dinner parties, socializing, going shopping and out to lunch. Martha is kind of
