Week of 8.9

Getting ready to hit the road for about a month. This meant I wanted to go out in true FFF fashion by sourcing meal prep from what was left in the house. The inspiration began as I stared at a half full jar of tahini back from June, half jar of pesto from July, frozen

Welp. COVID ‘aint over. After finding out I tested positive, I had some PTSD of the early quarantine days being locked inside of a 600 sqft apartment.
