We had hannukah dinner with my parent last night. Planned on latkes and chicken-fried seitan. Then we had the chicken frying stuff out so we chicken fried a few other things. Eggs. A few latkes.

okay, so we're really going to start masking again if we stopped because high quality respirators like n95s and kn95s will help keep disabled people alive and well now that healthcare is going to be virtually eliminated for so many of us, right???
