My 18-year-old daughter has taken up baking with a ferocious passion during the lockdown. Salted caramel chocolate cake. 100% from scratch. I
fatten.

First world problems, I dont feel special anymore. I never went to restaurants with any sort of regularity before the virus. I would go months without eating out someplace. Only time I really ever dont cook is when Im on vacation and want to explore the local cuisine. But now everybody is being a stay at home chef just like me!

The “19" in COVID-19 is actually for the average weight gain during the crisis.
In kgs.

I can believe that. Clothes that used to be quite loose on me are, um, not. I really need to get out for a walk, or perhaps fix up that bicycle that’s been sitting in the basement for years. Then again, given my history and my current lack of medical insurance I should probably stick to walking.

I’ve been trying to behave myself (relatively) on Monday-Thursday. But by Friday temptation creeps up, and I indulge for much of the weekend. I have a slim fit shirt I haven’t worn since before the crisis that I am a little scared to try on today.
Given some of the stuff on the road, a bicycle would be risky even with insurance. Drivers definitely seem dumber, locally anyway. I’ve been jogging weekdays lately in an attempt at exercise , and the shit I see is amusing.

ha - it wasn’t 10 minutes ago that my wife and I were blaming each other for not buying cake at the grocery, (jokingly..) For the record I prefer the white with sprinkles....

My wife makes a lot of flan

My daughter got the baking bug too until my wife made her stop.
Still, we are making muffins tomorrow.

Hey we are all in this together: we are fatten.

Too much love of chocolate around here for that to happen.

I have perfected my cook ie recipe with my free time . I’m too ashamed to admit how many cookies I made and ate to get there .

Oh, yes. I was doing low carb reasonably well before lockdown. Not anymore.

If you have cake, you have no quarantine issues.

Yum. My daughter bakes these things and then delivers them to people.

It was a difficult objective but someone had to do it.

The struggle is real.

We could fix that, but I don’t think this cake would do well in the mail.

That’s a risk I’m willing to take.

That looks magnificent, and totally worth it!

It it's not chocolate, is it really desert?

It was phenomenal and I only got about two bites because she delivered it all to people.

Is that icing different from the ones in the can? Looks fluffy. When I ice a cake its all globby and tearing the cake apart.

She's baking another one tonight. And Mommy and I get a slice.

One slice. That we had to share.

I relayed that and she genuinely appreciated it.

That's still an upgrade from two bites.

woo! hope she isn’t fattening you up too much

True, that.
