Carbs on parade

Scones

 Sweet barbecue sauce with sausage and pineapple

 Spaghetti with shrimp

Carrot cake
And so on...

We eat pretty well around here, everything made from scratch, but it seems like more carbs than usual. Which I usually avoid. 

Apparently, eating carbs increases serotonin in the brain. Serotonin makes you feel better.  Well, until we finally get those old pants out of the closet. 

People are craving comfort food during the pandemic, and sales of ridiculed products like Hamburger Helper and Spaghetti-O's are way up.  Not to mention, Goldfish crackers, Cheetos, chips, ice cream, processed cereals, packaged cookies, frozen pizza and what we once called "TV dinners."

It's been a wet and gloomy couple of days--more like March. Rain is typical on Memorial Day weekend, but it doesn't really matter, because every major summer event in Seattle has already been cancelled, right down to the 4th of July fireworks. All we can do is look ahead to 2021 and hope for happier times. 

In the meantime, there's always baking.
