> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Good to hear from you, Nava! I’d like to know more about your “kitchen experiments.” Well, it’s one of the recommendations we’re getting through the lockdown: stay playful, enjoy what you do, focus on what you’re doing, and remove those shortcuts you usually do because “I don’t have time”. I’m just cooking things I’d normally buy, such as yoghurt or cake. I make my little yoghurts and my little cakes in individual portions: could I buy them like that? Yeah sure. But this way I get to spend some time in the kitchen (hey, I don’t need to heat up the rest of the house!), I know exactly what went into them and enjoy the food much more than when it’s just a gulp of sweetness that I bought. Now that I think about it, a lot of those recommendations sound like they’d be good for retirement as well. > [@Icarus](#): > > I’m in the same business with the same sorts of issues. They keep telling us we can do everything remote, but in reality you often need a lot of face-time right at the start of a project just to get access set up properly, and establish communication flow. Once you get through that initial hump, then you can move into effectively working remotely. I’ve worked in places where it really was possible to work remotely from day one, but they were directly set up that way. There was a checklist, you know? An actual checklist, not just whatever people think of! ---

Yay! Glad to see you’re still around, **Nava**! Re: cooking experiments… even I’ve been trying things. Today I made nanaimo bars! ---

We’re bound to miss you – at this distance.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/has-anyone-heard-from-nava-recently/851137.md?page=1)
