Blender drinks: Perhaps not the most sophisticated, but undeniably fun.
During the last couple months of self-isolation, I’ve predictably gone through a lot of pantry staples, namely olive oil, salt, and pasta. But there is one that took me by surprise, and that is tequila.
It’s not only because my drinking, in quarantine, has increased a good bit. I mean, it sure has. A cocktail at 6 p.m. is the only way to delineate between work hours on my couch and fun hours on that same couch, in that same room, in the same one-bedroom I have been in this whole time save for furtive, anxiety-spiked trips to the grocery store and daily sanity walks to visit my favorite neighborhood tree. It’s also that the nature of my drinking has changed.
Now that quarantine has changed from an escalation of doom notices into a steady plateau of bad news, I find myself craving novelty, in any available form that will not threaten the health of my neighbors or me. I am grateful for my many privileges, and I know that I have the best possible scenario: my health, a job, no lack of comforts. Nonetheless, it feels as if I’m on a flight that I can never get off.
