Skills Learned in Quarantine

 

    Today, I want to share some skills I learned in Quarantine. One such skill that I've already been sharing is cooking. Before 2020, the only dish I knew how to make is pasta and smoothies, but know I know how make fresh meatballs, cookies, meatloaf, and other dishes. I even learned how to make sugar glass. 

    Another skill I learned was how to make a fire. This I learned vicariously through survival shows, but it is still one I'm still proud to have learned. I once used the roots of a dead household plant as fire starter, and it worked magnificently. Another good fire start is Dominoes Pizza boxes. Those things are so greasy that all it takes is one spark sometimes to set it ablaze. This skill definitely came in handy when winter started, warming yourself up next to the fire place felt so rewarding, and making smores by it was icing on the cake. 

    But what skills have you learned in Quarantine? it can be as minor as learning to knit or as big as learning to code. Let as know in the comments.

Random Thought: an Anti-Karen Restaurant

            Everyone who has worked in food service knows that Karens are the worst. They confront you about the littles things (sometimes for no reason at all), they belittle you at every opportunity, and they are constantly asking to see the manager, hoping to see you punished for just doing your job. The worst part, you have to take it all without the slightest hint of sass, or else your the bad guy in your employer's eyes. But what if you worked at a restaurant that would not only take your side, but actively encouraged sassy behavior? That's were my idea comes in, "The Haven from Karen Dinner and Grill".      Inspired by a Hungarian  restaurant from State College, PA, that would paddle guests that didn't finish their food; this Dinner's staff is encouraged to finish every customer interaction with a bit of sass. They are encouraged to welcome every guess with a sarcastic remark like "welcome to Haven From Karen, would...
