How does this new subscription look?

Healthy habits
Content note: diet & exercise. Today I finally started the morning with 30 min. walking on treadmill (at 2.0 speed) while doing recipe posting (instead of sitting on couch).

Lunch date with Kevin at Mama Thai
(Can I encourage Americans to make a little extra effort to patronize Chinese restaurants esp. but also generally Asian restaurants right now? News reports that they’re getting hit with a notable downturn in customer business across the U.S. due to unfounded coronavirus fears.) Lunch date with Kevin at Mama Thai, which is a convenient two …
