Poetry Friday: Celebrating Jack Prelutsky

Insomnia Revisited
Throughout the pandemic, my insomnia has been practically non-existent. At first, I was surprised and not really sure why this was the case.

Keto Diet and InstantPot with Chicken Little’s Wing Thrown in!
My 21 year old bought himself an InstantPot for his apartment. He lives alone, works and goes to college. In the first couple of weeks he’s had the pot, he’s made sweet potato fries, and chicken wings that he’s raved about. The chicken wing endorsement is a huge deal for us! Before being transplanted in…
