Scenes from a pandemic quarantine... Saturday night is now outdoor barbecue and fire pit time (which usually means s'mores for the kids). It's another way we mark each week of this at-home experience. And also a good opportunity to take advantage of our new grill, which we got just a month or so before everything went down. Below, for posterity's sake, I'll continue to keep a tally of our weekly eats. We're not grill masters, but we do like to eat.
