iso 4 hours alone
So I’m sheltering in place with my husband, my husband’s *other* wife (you read that right), plus two housemates in a San Francisco flat. You might think that would cause drama, but we’re mostly great — lots of dinners together, the occasional Netflix evening, etc. BUT, I’m slowly going mad. I love to cook — I work in food publishing, and the kitchen is my happy place. But beyond cooking basic dinners for the family and roomies, I haven’t been able to do any serious cooking or baking projects because everyone in the house is *constantly* stress cooking, and I’m just realizing how much I used to plan my baking projects for whenever everyone would be out of the house, because I love zoning out to tunes while cooking and hate having to share a kitchen. If I didn’t have to work from home during business hours I think I would cook in the wee hours whenever everyone is asleep. Can I just have four hours alone in the kitchen to bake macarons, pretty, pretty please? (And don’t get me started on the chaos of our refrigerator right now.)
