Back to Quarantine?

Things were looking up a few weeks ago when businesses and casinos in my city reopened.  Now, and I'm not sure if it was the casinos opening or the protests or people flocking to the beach at Lake Mead or for other reasons, our covid numbers are increasing and people are saying we may end up in another lockdown!  eeekkk

So hubby and I have decided to stay out of the fray and just stay home for the past few days.  Today we made empanadas for the first time using this recipe and they came out really good (I took the meat out of a couple for me).

Meanwhile, our days have been sunny and hot (around 105 degrees!) but this coming week should be ten degrees cooler which is nice.  I really really miss walking every day!
