With zucchini season coming up, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this delicious zucchini cheddar bread recipe. This is the best savory zucchini bread recipe you will be making on repeat and comes from Carla Hall’s Soul Food: Everyday and Celebration. Whenever I grow zucchinis in the garden, I feel like I always end up with a plethora of extra, so I’m always coming up with different ways to use them, if you’ve grown zucchini you know they take over a garden!!

Confession: I started smelling like a mix of curry and rotten fish (sorry for putting that in your head!) during Circuit Breaker. TMI, I know, but it got so bad that I would reek even right out of the shower without lifting a finger. I started scrutinising what I was eating, drinking and even how much I was stressing about stuff. But the strange thing is, I didn’t eat or drink any differently than pre-Circuit Breaker days. Well, I did stop wearing my Salt Of The Earth crystal deodorant when we had to start quarantining ourselves. In my defence, I had gone without deodorant before and thought this would be a good time for me to go au naturel since...

I vividly remember the moment my babies started teething. First came the drooling (so much drool!), then came the hand chewing, the toy chewing, chewing anything near and available to them. Then came the crankiness until pop, a tiny tooth came out, and we were back to normal in a couple of days.

After weeks of uncertainty, it’s now obvious that the vast majority of California’s six million public school students will be staying, and presumably studying, at home this fall, rather than returning to the classrooms they hastily abandoned four months ago. After the nation’s second largest school system, Los Angeles Unified, and San Diego Unified jointly declared that they will continue with “distance learning” indefinitely, other local school districts, with very few exceptions, are falling in line. Los Angeles and San Diego officials cited the recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases and concerns about the health of students, teachers and other school workers in making their decisions, but pressure from politically powerful teacher unions was no small factor.
