Reseasoning

I accidentally made my cast iron skillet rusty by not coating with oil often enough. So cleaned it thoroughly with a rust remover and put on a coat of oil to try start making it nice and shiny black again. I think this will work. Second coat on it here today and then a third coat when I make pizza later.

Pizza for One

In a physical sense I was super prepared to be made to stay home instead of going out for food. I already preferred my own cooking to going out much of the time and only skipped when I wanted to do something social. Now there is almost always time to cook and when there is not I have a freezer full of good soup and stews ready to be thawed.

On the social side I am as ill prepared to be totally alone as crow or some other famously gregarious animal. I would always go off and do my own thing for a while, but I need getting together with people. Video chats fall somewhat short of actually making me feel much better. My social skills and ability always kept me on abstemious monk's diet of being social, but now it is like I'm locked out of the kitchen with only the memory of smells to satisfy my hunger.

It is very simple to live alone until you're required to be alone almost all the time.
