COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 9: Souffle Egg Omelette Garlic Chives Recipe

RRRIIINNNNNNGGGGG!!!!! The fire alarm went off in large apartment block nearby. Residents started evacuating the building. It was a very interesting sight watching hundreds of people trying to practice social distancing while being evacuated! In the news, a nursing home was evacuated due to a fire as well. Social distancing was very challenging in that situation too. While during this challenging times, social distancing is so important. It also helps to reduces risk of the spread of disease in situations of emergency when social distancing is a challenge. Staying at home is vital. I've been practicing this question whenever I want to go out. Can I do what I want to do outside from my home? Shopping. Mostly can be done online. Exercising. Challenging, but not impossible to do at home. Getting sunshine and fresh air. The balcony is an amazing place to be! Work. Yep, I'm fortunate to be set up at my desk. Play. Defintely have more than enough online games to pl

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 8: Tomato noodles with seared pork, tofu and vegetables recipe

Day 8. The most amazing part of staying home is that I'm saving 3 hours of travelling to and from work! This has really given me time back for things I love, including cooking. But also, I've more time to focus on other things like re-starting my exercise routine on the WiiFit and getting more housework done in a timely fashion. How about social contact? I've always been part of the great gaming community and have plenty of friends online. We catch up on a daily basis, plan out social and gaming activities to do. Also, my church community have moved online with services, prayer meetings and bible studies online. Family for me hasn't changed. We regularly contact each other through the phone and through online IM group platforms. If you feel lonely or just would like to join a friendly online group, feel free to drop me a line on Facebook and I'm more than happy to help you join one. Today I'm sharing with you a yummy recipe which I have created. It's m

COVID-19 Stay at Home Day 10: Garlic Oil Speghetti with Chicken

Day 10. The COVID-19 situation is somewhat stabalising in NSW. Some of my colleagues are suspecting that this is calm before the storm when the really sick patients start to come in. The suspicion is that the really ill from the cruise ships would be coming in next. Let's pray that the folks who are ill stay on a mild course of the disease progression and not towards the worser outcomes. My recipe today is dedicated to all my fellow colleagues working in health. Not just all the doctors, nurses and allied health staff, but to the many many people in health working behind the scenes. The admin staff busy collecting and sorting patient information. The cooks who help prepare each patient meal. The cleaners who ensure the infection doesn't spread all around. The storekeepers who help maintain our stock of personal protective equipment. The education staff who make sure we know what to do and how to do what we need to do. The IT staff who make sure all our digital infrastructure
