Reading the fine print on your food labels is sometimes surprising in VN:
"May the breeze bring you
The tenderness and warmth from me
Far from each other
We may be
Yet still you are here,
At the bottom of my heart"

That's some pretty Classy Bread Flavour indeed!

If you’ve never tried fresh fruit preserves before, this easy pumpkin orange recipe will get you hooked. These preserves aren’t meant to go into the pantry and last through the apocalypse. They don’t have that cooked down flavor. They're bright, fresh and meant to go straight into the fridge and be eaten up within a month or two.

The flavor and color will win you over. So will the simplicity. I love this pumpkin marmalade’s sheer star power on a cheese plate — a pure shot of vivid orange. The taste is both bright and earthy. And it’s versatile enough to spread on toast or garnish a slice of cheesecake.

Stuck indoors much?

If you're like many of us around the world, you're under some form of "stay at home" orders. Personally, I'm stuck in Vietnam and unable to get home.

Daily life has become weird. We all have a flow to our days, an external structure of work, play, shopping, family, friends. A lot of that is on hold now. Not having that external structure can really throw us off and impact our health and well being.

I don't know about you, but I've been living under some form of "shelter in place" for a while now...a long time. It's getting stricter as the virus continues to spread, and now I pretty much just go out once a week to get groceries.

There are some basic things I do to keep myself healthy and less stressed while I wait this out. I've developed some systems to make sure I don't track the virus into my home. And I've developed some structure around my day so I get proper sleep, exercise in my apartment and keep myself well nourished.

We're all stuck inside way more than usual. Here are some practical tips on how to stay safe, healthy and connected until the virus threat diminishes.
