Quarantine Quisine

 As the world started shutting down, locking itself indoors, more and more people began to explore the possibilities and extent of their capabilities. Some of my friends took it upon themselves to shell out a variety of delicacies - some with little or no help from spouses, children or other family members; some who extended little or no help to their spouses or children. And, I got to get a look at some of these mouth-watering dishes. Inspired, I cooked and baked some too. The fears, both known and unknown, of the pandemic still hover over our heads. The initial excitement and fervor of sharing food tales seemed to have simmered down. I saved some of the pictures and thought of sharing it here - who knows, this may inspire many more of us to get creative in the kitchen.

Disclaimer: I have to add one. When I started compiling these pictures, I believed in the honesty of my friends. At least one has "confessed" 😉 that they do not hold exclusive credits for all the food pictures they shared. Apparently, the only credit they could possibly lay claim on was the lip-smacking part. 

The comment section is open to all those who want to extend credit where it is due.
