Hey, it's Michael. This has been an intense weak it's a scary, uncertain and unsettled moment, and it's gonna feel that way for a while, of course, where keep covering this pandemic until it's over, but this moment choirs more than news and information We also need a lease and relief and we're gonna be to provide that too. In the coming weeks. Ok, guys grammar courting something heard the daily, so everyone, really quiet like to start. We asked of us our colleagues to share what they're turning to right now for comfort.

Its taffy, Brute S, her actor, I'm a writer at the magazine, I am in my home office. I have been stuck inside my home for several days. I have socially distanced within an inch of my life and my husband and I are working from home at the same time, which is a new dynamic in our marriage in the last few days, every email and text message I get or send is something in the time of kroner virus. So I've been thinking a lot about love in the time of cholera by Gabrielle, Garcia markets. That is not how you say his name.

Ok, I'm gonna start eating now. Ok, she clung to her husband and it was just at the time when he needed her most because he suffered the disadvantage of being ten years ahead of her, as he stumbled alone through the mists of all day. With the even greater disadvantage being a man and weaker than she was in the end. They knew each other so well that by time they had been married for thirty years. They were uncomfortable at the frequency with which they guessed each other's thoughts without intending to or the ridiculous accident of, one of them and tissue painting in public. What the other was going to say together they had overcome the daily and comprehension, the instantaneous hatred. There were several nastiness and fabulous flashes of glory in the Congo.

Conspiracy it was time when they both loved each other best. Without hurry or excess, when both were most conscious of and grateful for their incredible victories over adversity, life would still present them with other moral trials, of course, but no longer mattered. They were on the other shore. The thing that strikes me about this particular passage is vet. We are talking so much right now about the way that we should distance ourselves from each other, but there is no quarantine yourself from your spouse and the unspoken assignment to that is: listen you have a few weeks here. We don't know how long we, a few weeks where you dont, have plans and you don't have to get anyone out the door? And I wonder if this is also

time when, when we find a kind of regularity and love to each other, that we most of the time take for granted. I'm Wesley Morris- and I am Dick at the New York Times and operating from Edna Louis, is the great Edna Louis's nineteen eighty cookbook in pursuit of flavour ETA, Louis for anybody who doesn't know and shame on you for not really, but she is one of our great cookbook writers, one of our great thinkers bow keeping certain black cooking traditions alive. She means a lot to me, partly because there's a kind

comedy involved in the end, the Lewis experience, which is that she can give you a recipe, but she also gives you a story, and sometimes you have to cook from it, Think, but today I am not going to tell you how to make a meal I'm gonna. Entry from in pursuit of flavour simply called storing food in the refrigerator Edna rights. The refrigerator makes food storage so much easier than it used to be, but I can't help thinking

that we abuse its usefulness by refrigerated too many kinds of food. Onions, shallots garlic, for instance, go through a false dormant period when chilled and begin to sprout in the refrigerator and lose flavour fruits and berries, cakes and breads, which keep fine in a cool pantry of properly covering wrapped, should be permitted to sit at room temperature before being eaten to give their flavors time to come out. Milk and cream should, of course, be kept very cold. I pour milking cream. The Card Board or plastic cartons in the glass bottles class holds the cold much better, and as soon as I get home from the market, I wrap fish, poultry in meat And re rapid in fresh wax paper and foil I take out whatever I find in the cavity of the chicken and white the whole chicken with a damp cloth. I do the same for the meat. I refresh it

the well wrapped food in lidded, non aluminum, metal or enamel containers which conduct cold air very well. I think particularly important to remove plastic wrapping from meets fruits and vegetables plastic. As about the worst conductor for cold air in food, just seen the heat up, the minute they're put in plastic, I've found the fresh produce such a salad greens will more quickly in the plastic vegetable bins found in most new refrigerators, and so I always try to replace mine with enamel a glass.

Containers. That's Edna Louis telling you in these times of peril, but not panic. How to make room in your fridge for all the food that you're buying too much over the supermarket right? Now, good luck and God bless and finally, a passage from another time about another crisis that felt especially right for this moment. I'm game banking executive under the New York Times. This is a passage from an essay written by Cs Louis, called on living in an atomic age. In one way. We think a great deal too much of the atomic bomb

How are we to live and atomic age I'm tempted to reply, why, as you would have lived in the sixteenth century, when the plague visited London almost every year, or, as you would have lived in a Viking age when raiders from Scandinavia, my land and cut your throat any night, need, as you already living in an age of cancer, an age of syphilis in Asia, paralysis, an age of air raids and age of railway accidents and age of motor accidents. In other words, do not let us begin by exaggerating the novelty of our situation believe me, dear sir, or madam you in all whom you love were already sentenced to death before the atomic bomb was invented and quite a high percentage of us we're going to die

play some ways. We had indeed one very great advantage over our ancestors anesthetics what we have a spill. It is perfectly ridiculous to go about whimpering and drawing long faces, because the scientists have added one more chance of painful and premature death to a world which already bristled with such chances and in which death itself was not a chance at all, but a certainty. This is the first point to be made:

the first action to be taken us to pull ourselves together. If we are all going to be destroyed by an atomic bomb, let that bomb when it comes find us during sensible and human things, praying working teaching. Reading listening to music bathing the children playing tennis chatting to our friends over a pint and a game of darts, not huddled together, like frightened, sheep and thinking about bombs, they may break our bodies. A microbe can do that, but they need not dominate our minds. You see up here
