Covid Consumerism

Now, that some people are venturing out, I’m interested in your shopping habits during these unusual times. Here are my purchases: food, puzzles, comfy clothes (yoga pants, etc.), two new sofas, new towels, hand lotion and face cream. And, yes, MASKS!

I’ve ventured to the local mall, just to feel normal. It’s not busy, but at least I saw some people with shopping bags. We have a new store Amazon 4, which I will write about in a future post. So, do you have any purchases lately? Please share.

One of my favorite blogs is Lark & Linen. Here are some of Lark & Linen’s cozy picks. Please click here for a description.

Summer Spritzer

14 Jun

Kick off the summer with this refreshing drink, courtesy of Lark & Linen who adapted it from Reading My Tea Leaves. It’s a Rhubarb Lilac Spritzer. It can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

INGREDIENTS (serves 20)

5-6 stalks rhubarb, chopped into 1″ pieces
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 large handful of lilac blossoms, removed from the stem

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium sized pot, over medium heat, bring all ingredients just to a boil.
Turn to low, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes until sugar is disolved and rhubarb begins to separate. Strain through a fine mesh sieve and store in a glass jar in the fridge.

NOTES

Mix your syrup into sparkling water, add vodka to make it sinful, or pour over vanilla ice cream.

CALORIES: 42 (minus the vodka and ice cream!)
