Quarantine Update #5 - getting ready for Easter

Hello everyone 
Not much news here except a few food happenings 
I followed these instructions and made 
Fruit Turnovers. No glaze on ours though,  I don’t think it’s needed 



Since it will just be 2 of us for Easter lunch,  I made a tiny batch of “double eggs”. I usually make 2 dozen eggs for family gatherings 
The plain eggs will be for lunches next week 


Friday night we had homemade pizza.  I baked it on a pan I got from Amazon awhile back and it was really crispy.  
And the bottom crust baked in a polka dot pattern 😀

     

I finished more masks 😷. And cut out 10 more.  When I finish them,  I plan to sew something different than masks though.  

And took my parents, who are safe and secure in their retirement home, a small care package- leftovers, newspapers, masks, and trash bags that are not available right now on our Walmart grocery pickup.  



Kim at Out My Window  asked for the recipe for the sirloin tips I cooked this week.  Sorry Kim, it’s not an actual recipe,  I just winged it but they were very good. 
I browned some sliced mushrooms from the freezer and some diced onions, then removed them from the pan.
In that same pan,  I browned the sirloin cubes just until done in 2 batches, and removed them from the pan. 
Again in that same pan, I made a packet of brown gravy mix (2 cups worth) 
When the gravy was bubbly,  I added back the meat, onions and mushrooms and simmered it  a bit.  
We ate it on top of mashed potatoes and it would be good with rice or egg noodles too.  



What are you all thinking about this quarantine-shelter at home situation?  
When do y’all think it will be over?
