Quarantini

Now she is planning to host weekly video chat happy hours to help moms “celebrate surviving another week of the Coronapocalypse” with a “quarantini.”

MacKillop says the data are still being compiled and analyzed, but he won't be surprised if, at the end of the day, we learn that alcohol consumption in Ontario was lower during the pandemic.

Recipes included things like "Fau-Cheesy Rice and Broccoli," "Peas Make-the-Corona-Virus-Go-Away Salad," and "Dirty Quarantini." Do you have a favorite?
