As you’re probably very well aware by now, the COVID-19 pandemic is overtaking the world. Grocery stores are being raided every day and supplies are frequently out of stock. As an essential employee, I’m caught up in this mess. Some days I can’t find what I need, other days I can’t be bothered to push through the fatigue. This is affecting my projects.
I’m not ending Brainpie. I have every intention of finishing The Draco Trilogy and posting more recipes. But with the changing times, getting ingredients is kind of tricky. (I had no idea whole wheat flour was popular in my area until last week.) Services and industries we’ve taken for granted may shut down during this event. Rumor has it that the USPS may temporarily halt. I’ll believe it when I see an actual news source. But anything can happen. Look at what this virus is doing.
I’ll be changing a few things for Brainpie. As far as Draco is concerned, I’ll be working on it behind the scenes, cooking for each chapter when possible (when ingredients are available), and posting it as a weekly batch once everything is finished. If it starts posting in the summer, great. If it start posting in December, also great.
I may post a small recipe every now and then. The birthday post is currently in the works. Truth be told, I’m kind of looking forward more to doing random recipes than continuing Draco. They’re quicker to write and I do get a chance to revisit Ruth Ellen Church.
It would be a joy to plunge into the comforting world of comfort food.
See you next time. Stay safe.
And stay the fuck out of those stores if you don’t need to go.
