People keep asking me, Where did you get it?
and I wish I knew.
I feel like I could have spoken in a more eloquent way about my experience had I known.
I continued testing positive for a month, which is longer than theyre saying youre supposed to.
I think this virus is bringing up so many conflicting emotions.
Ive been quarantined longer than there was a mandated shut-in.
The reason I want to talk about it now is because its so important to wear masks.
I had a sore throat and felt totally delirious, like I was losing my mind.
It was different than the normal me feeling like Im losing my mind.
One of my friends only lost taste and smell.
One went to the hospital with the normal symptoms, but another friend had absolutely no symptoms at all.
I stayed inside for almost two months, and I still very minimally go out, with a mask.
You just dont know if you have it or not.
Im not kidding when I say I am distraught over it.
I am torn apart.
1 ingredient is shallots and, same as Chrissy, whenever I see my shallots, I cry.
My greatest passion in life is food and eating.
Ive always had those passions, but I didnt really show the world until now, on myInstagram.
Im getting a lot of accusations, like, Whos cooking for you?
Nobody is like, Wow, beautiful work!
Nobody wants to believe its me.
But that makes sense, because I cant do anything, so theyre confused that I can do this.
You dont like games or sports.
I was like, Am I the most boring person in the world?
But yeah, I have nothing else except food and sort of acting.
Right now, its a lot of pasta and a lot of stews.
Im quarantining alone with my dog, so Im cooking it all for myself, which is really sad.
Ive donecacio e pepea billion times.
Ive been watching Alice WaterssMasterClass, which is like ASMR.
Her voice is so soothing.
I hate making dessert, so thats been minimal.
I made a homemadeCrunchwrap Supreme,which is very TikTok-famous, as I found out when I posted it.
I did a yummy bolognese rigatoni.
I made those one thousand times.
Fieldsgiant cookie, topped with Reeses and chocolate chips, which was psychotic.
I make a sausage skillet with broccolini.
A lot of parmesan chicken cutlets and penne vodka.
I did homemade pasta with vodka sauce, and it was not good it really does need a penne.
Wine-braised chicken with artichoke hearts.
Chicken piccata is my all-time favorite.
And any dish that I can find that uses only one pan, because I hate doing the dishes.
And I hate wasting food; I want to use every last thing in my fridge.
So I love making soups, and Ive been making a lot of stocks, experimenting with that.
My kitchen is very small.
I have no dishwasher, no cutting boards.
I have one counter smaller than a New York situation.
Animal Crossinghas also been addictive right now, but I will say, its notThe Sims.
Its great, but not the same.
A huge part of the problem is that I cant make the characters have sex.
I also need incentive to bring other animals to my island.
Otherwise, its like, Why do I want to muddy up my beautiful island?
And I said, Something I dont have, and it gave me a beach ball.
After doing all of that work!
I was so devastated and confused at the lack of awareness of the amount of work I did.
The culture is out of control, but Im contributing to it.
Im also watchingThe Sopranos.Im on season five, episode three.
Its so fucking good.
Carmela is such a genius.
Shes the fucking greatest.
And I love when Tony is like, to A.J., Be nice to your mother!
And youre like, Tony, Idolove you for a reason.
And I genuinely think its affected my happiness that I havent been able to do it.
I think Ive cracked the code for why, when Im on-location, I also feel sad.
So the other day, I just sat in my car for two hours and sang really loudly.
I love straightforward pop music so much.
But Ive embraced it.
Ariana Grande is, honest to God, Im so obsessed with her.
I sit and watch YouTube videos of her for hours.
Especially the old ones.
God forbid she gets involved in the Alison Roman/Chrissy Teigen feud, I swear to God.
All of my internet loves.
It will be too crushing.
She is one of the greatest singers of all time.
But shes also a comedic genius.
From an actors standpoint her physical comedy is incredible.
She introduced me to my ex-boyfriend, actually, when I was a teenager.
I knew her back in the Nickelodeon days.
I can tell my grandchildren that.
Anyway, the singing made me realize how disgusting my car is.
I got my Prius when I first started working; its the only real big purchase Ive ever made.
It has no hubcaps.
There is what looks like vomit on the roof.
Ive never taken my car to the car wash, actually.
Ive never really realized how bad it was until now, when Im sitting in there, just singing.
We are all retirees.
Im like, I just started a new puzzle, its 1,000 pieces.
Im gonnanotgo clean my car.
