Quarantine Birthday Two: Electric Boogaloo demanded a birthday snack that could be transported and shared with relative ease, and as someone who struggles with depression in isolation, I needed something easy to make in the event I wasn’t feeling so hot on the day-of (spoiler: I was well enough to bake!).

First and foremost: Sorry about the hiatus. I’ve been battling some mental health struggles and working myself to the bone trying to finish my backyard landscaping in time to get my onions, beans, peas, etc. in the ground in time.

I’ve been meaning to make some kind of soup in my pressure cooker. I was initially going to make some kind of corn chowder, but somehow, I ended up here instead. Corn chowder will almost certainly still happen, as it is delicious and I haven’t had it in forever. Today, though, we have broccoli soup
