The Cheese Obsession Continues and Notes From the Weekend

“What'll we do with ourselves this afternoon? And the day after that, and the next thirty years?”

~ F. Scott Fitzgerald

Life is about pursuing your passions and I’m sharing a few of mine here today…my amazing grandsons, beautiful objects, fabulous food and more! I hope you enjoy!

Last week, I made a visit to Shop on Blair, which is a fabulously curated shop in Greensboro, NC owned by my friend Lisa Johnson. I went to look for a beautiful bowl to put on my desk and, of course, I found one. I also found this absolutely fabulous antique French board and had to have it. There were so many other things I wanted to bring home, but I tried to show some restraint, knowing I would be back soon.

My daughter Rebecca and son-in-law came in from Richmond this weekend and I decided to make a special cheese board for all of us to eat while sitting by the fire on Saturday. I had so much cheese left over from the Valentine’s Day cheese post, so I used that cheese and added roasted nuts, olives, strawberries, dates and dried cherries. These delectable additions, along with a few pansies from my yard, made the already beautiful board even more beautiful and it was a hit! Later in the evening, we had hamburgers and pesto pasta and the evening was perfect!

Food & Fun

These two little cuties spent the night with us on Saturday night and when they got up, they wanted cinnamon rolls, so I decided to try out the TikTok Viral recipe. I know I’m probably the last person on earth to try it, but now I certainly understand what all the hoopla is about! These cinnamon rolls are truly decadent, easy and delicious! Scroll down for the recipe!

Anytime I’m looking for a recipe, the first website I go to is Half Baked Harvest! Tieghan Gerard’s recipes are always delicious and her blog is beautiful. This week, I’m planning to try her Baked Artichokes with Honey Whipped Feta and I know it will be amazing!

Movies & YouTube

"The Law According to Lidia Poët" is inspired by a true story: that of the first lawyer in Italy, of the daily injustices for which she fought, of her fierce defense of the innocent, of the studies and investigations to discover the truth and the revolution that has taken place in the world of jurisprudence thanks to her. This is one we’ll be watching this week!

If you haven’t already watched Vogue’s 73 Questions with Jennifer Lopez, this is one you’ll love. Her home is stunningly beautiful and she is, as always, inspiring!

Fashion

The trees are budding, the daffodils are blooming and spring is coming! Of course, I’m making a wish list and this pink suit from Veronica Beard is definitely on the list as are the fabulous white wedges! Everything is linked below!

When I was in New York with my daughters in December of last year, I bought my first scarf from Hermès scarf. I had been wanting a scarf for a while and found one with just the perfect color palette to suit me. I knew it would go with so much of what was in my closet…but I have one slight problem. The way I’m wearing it above is the only way I know how to tie it. I’m doing my research and will hopefully be able to do a fun scarf tutorial in the near future. For any of you that are scarf wearers and even more importantly scarf tiers, I would love to have any advice you have to offer! I know this is a scarf I’ll keep for the rest of my life and hopefully my daughters will wear it one day, but for now, I want to wear it as stylishly as possible!

It’s safe to say that most of you who are reading this blog are middle aged or close so I’m sure you’ll enjoy this interesting article from The Guardian titled Whatever happened to middle age? The mysterious case of the disappearing life stage.

TikTok's Viral Sushi Waffles Are Surprisingly Simple — and Totally Delicious

It may have the word “waffle” right in the name, but in my house, the waffle iron is hardly ever used to make the breakfast classic it’s intended for. Instead, thanks to TikTok, it sits on my counter ready to go whenever I want to quickly whip up some cinnamon rolls, hash browns, or even just an extra-crispy grilled cheese. Sushi though? You probably wouldn’t expect a waffle iron to come in…

Hello!! first, I wanted to tell you that your med student hcs were literally SO good they really hit home for me. I I was also wondering if I could ask for hcs of Kuroo, Matsukawa, and Hanamaki who are stuck at home with their s/o? Like, who goes insane first? How do they pass time? Also, if they're in college, how many times do they also go to class online? Thank you so much!!!

omg anon this request WAS SO FUN TO WRITE thank you for requesting this :-)!!!!!

Kuroo:

* STUCK IN QUARANTINE WITH THIS MAN???

* That’s my dream lmaoooo

* N E WAYS

* He’s so EXCITED he gets to be in quarantine with you!!!!

* Like, even though the both of you share the apartment and are dating, it’s very hard to actually spend time with you, with the both of you being in different courses in college after all.

* So spending time with you??? He’s so happy.

* Before the quarantine really goes into effect, he’s insisting that the both of you have to go get some groceries.

* BC HE KNOWS THAT YOUR LAZY ASS WONT LEAVE THE HOUSE ONCE THE QUARANTINE STARTS LMAOOOO

* He’s always making breakfast for you in the morning!!!! LIKE???? This man is husband material 10/10.

* If you aren’t awake by the time he’s plated the food, he runs into the room and carries you out.

* There was once he dropped you on the floor but we don’t talk about that.

* When you guys have lessons on???? The both of you are in separate rooms bc you’re too distracting to him.

* But you bet that if you have a call going on and he doesn’t, he’s creeping beside you and saying some weird ass stuff to distract YOU.

* There was one time this asshole came into the room saying,” are you made of Fluorine, Iodine and Neon? Cause you’re F-I-Ne!” while your mike was on.

* BRUH your whole class literally started laughing at you.

* Even the professor GIGGLED.

* At this point Kuroo’s face is the shocked pikachu one.

* BC HE DIDNT KNOW YOUR MIKE WAS ON ORIRIIFIDIFJFJDIOW

* And ofc you get back at him during one of his lessons later on during that day.

* He’s focusing on the teacher and writing down notes onto his notebook when you hear the teacher ask him a question.

* You’re like: ITS GO TIME BABY.

* When Kuroo unmutes himself to answer the question, you’re pressing a quick kiss onto his neck and biting down on it.

* “The answer to the question is—ah shit baby it’s going to be like that?”

* RIRKFKFK THE WHOLE CLASS GOES SILENT THEN.

* Then Kuroo realises what just came out of his mouth and YOU bet this is the first time you’ve seen him so embarrassed.

* HAHAHAHAHA

* His teacher just keeps quiet for a moment; before asking another student the same question and completely ignoring Kuroo for the rest of the call.

* REIOFDO YOU BET HE’S GOING TO TICKLE YOU UNTIL YOU CRY FOR THAT and maybe do something else that’ll make you REALLY CRY.

* Tbh the both of you love each other so much, and there’s never a boring moment with Kuroo in quarantine.

* He keeps you on your toes, and you keep him on his, so you’re actually not bored or tired of him in quarantine!!!!

* But when he sees that you’re getting a little fidgety and tense, he’s immediately suggesting something that the both of you don’t do usually.

* Like BAKING???? He’s happily making cinnamon rolls with you and dancing with you in the kitchen to some weird song.

* Or he’s playing WII with you, and the both of you make so much noise the neighbours come over and ask you politely if you could...”make love a little quieter” DOROFOFIFIFIEIEI

* So none of you go insane because this man just KNOWS how to handle you!!!

Matsukawa:

* AHHH THIS IS PT 2 OF MY DREAM

* ANYWAYS

* This guy??? He’s such a sweet man.

* When he realises quarantine is going to go into effect, he’s dragging you out to buy some essentials for your lockdown.

* He’s making sure to buy at least some healthy snacks and vegetables to make sure you stay healthy during this time period!!!!!

* OKAY LETS BE REAL this guy is the one that takes care of the other in the relationship.

* He’s making sure you go to sleep at the time you should be in bed, and hauls your ass to bed if you refuse to do so.

* But his cuddles are very soothing so you fall asleep VERY quickly.

* But if you really can’t sleep??? He’s staying up to talk to you about anything that comes into your mind.

* He’s also making sure you eat!!!! He’ll make lunch for you if he sees that you overslept and missed breakfast.

* If you want to bake, he’s trying his best to help you, but this man can only give you the ingredients bc for some reason he SUCKS at baking.

* He tries baking cupcakes for you in the middle of your lessons one day and the cupcakes were all droopy and uncooked. SO LESSON LEARNT.

* SPEAKING OF LESSONS:

* Tbh he knows not to distract you in the middle of lessons, so he’s either in another room during your lessons or he’s quietly resting his head on your thighs.

* BUT.

* You’re totally different.

* You make it a point to disrupt his lessons all the time, always asking for cuddles in the middle of his lessons and asking for kisses as well!!!

* He just sighs at you when you come crawling towards him while he’s writing down notes, and just opens his arms to allow you to crawl into his lap.

* THERE WAS ONCE where you were cuddling him and the teacher asked him to answer a question, so he turned on his mike and camera, and then he hears a loud gasp.

* “Matsukawa! What are you doing?”

* YOU WERE SITTING ON HIS LAP AND FACING THE BACK WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE YOU WERE DOING

* “IM SORRY MISS!”

* DIORIRRIRKRK when he hears you laugh, you bet he’s going to punish you later 👀😎

* But as much as the both of you love to spend time with each other...do you know who goes insane first??

* YOU.

* You need to go outside!!!!!

* Mattsun notices how you’re getting all tense, and he’s trying his best to take your mind out of it.

* He’s asking you to exercise with him, and it often leads to OTHER THINGS HAHAHA

* And he plays some random two player online games with you!!!!!!

* “(Y/N) NO FAIR YOU HIT ME!”

* In other words, being stuck with Mattsun in quarantine is a fun thing!!!

* You go insane but he’s there to perk you up!!!!!

Hanamaki:

* PART THREE OF MY DREAM!!!!

* This man :””)

* Tbh you’re 90% of his impulse control, so when the both of you split up to buy the essentials you need during quarantine, this boy comes back with potato chips and all the unhealthy snacks.

* But you can never say no to him so you buy those in the end :(

* This guy is amazing to be with, but it’s pretty obvious YOU’RE going to be the one taking care of him during quarantine.

* You’ll have to tell him it’s 12am and it’s time to sleep and to stop watching Rosemarie being disgusted with Ed.

* You’ll have to tell him, no, eating potato chips does NOT count as lunch.

* But sometimes he’s so damn convincing he’s pulling you into his lap to continue watching 90 day fiancé, and he’s feeding you the chips with a kiss to your lips.

* He’s trying out all those weird quarantine things that he saw on youtube with you LOLOLOL

* He got so bored that at one point he got into tiktok and made a video that went viral.

* But then he logged out bc he was BORED of Tiktok so...

* N E WAYS

* He goes to sleep late every night, but he somehow wakes up entirely refreshed for his lessons the next morning?????

* And you don’t disrupt him during his lessons, usually just reading quietly beside him or watching the television in the living room.

* But this little shit loves to bother you in the middle of lessons.

* BRUH HE SCARED YOU while you were trying to answer the question the teacher asked.

* You screamed into the mike and the teacher jumped.

* “(Y/N)! I asked you to answer a question, not murder my ears!”

* “Sorry miss!!!!!!”

* And when you hear Makki laugh after you mute yourself again, you instantly formulate a plan to murder him.

* But then, you thought, LETS MESS WITH THIS SHIT.

* So the next time he has lessons, you’re quietly reading beside him, and you casually place a hand on his thigh, which slowly moves up as the lesson goes on.

* He doesn’t notice at first, but when your hands brush dangerously close to where mini Makki is, he’s groaning.

* When the teacher calls Makki to answer a question, you grin.

* ITS YOUR TURN SUCKA

* You’re softly pressing against it when he unmutes himself, and he lets out a low, guttural groan, which the entire class hears.

* “Hanamaki, are you alright?”

* “Yes, Miss—“

* He GROANS again when you press a little harder.

* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA SUCK IT.

* Iwaizumi’s in this zoom call, and you know he KNOWS what’s going on, based on the disgusted look on his face.

* Hanamaki somehow manages to answer the question, and when he mutes himself, he’s shooting you a smile and telling you that you’re in trouble.

* YOU REALLY WERE RIFIFIFKRK

* In the end, you’re the one going insane.

* BC YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH MAKKI’s shit every day.

* Not that you don’t love him, but caring for this man who doesn’t know what a healthy sleeping schedule is making you MAD.

* But he’s a GOD in the kitchen, and he’s making you these exquisite meals with the little groceries you have that you ALWAYS forget about how you’re slowly spiraling into insanity whenever you take a bite into the food.

* HES THAT GOOD.

* He makes you forget about all your troubles with a nice massage on the couch while the both of you watch 90 day fiancé together! :)!!!

hope you like, anon!!!!! :-)

tomorrow im making a big throwback food from my childhood called 懒龙 (lan long) or lazy dragon [roll]. it's exactly like crossing a cinnamon bun with a baozi, but instead of the filling and bun being seperate entities like in a baozi, the bun and filling go together in a swirl. they have distinct tastes despite the fact they have almost identical ingredients. my theory for this is that there's more surface area of the bun being covered with the filling sauce (arguably that's the best part about a baozi) in a 懒龙. this dish is unique to beijing and it was adopted by kindergartens in the 80s and onwards as part of their lunch programs; as a result they grew in popularity. basically, it's just a bao zi that's more time and cost-efficient to make but it's by no means inferior. it's literally the perfect viral tiktok food that no one knows about yet (outside of beijing). y'all are getting the inside scoop

They’re the bomb: Cocoa confections a sweet holiday gift idea

With flavors like Mexican Cinnamon, Pumpkin Spice, Crushed Peppermint, you’re covered for Christmas gift giving.  (Photographs by Alex Luck © Ryland Peters & Small, 2021)

“Are you ready for Christmas.” I am asked this question, very often by my students, acquaintances and sometimes even strangers I meet in a store. You have probably been asked this as well.

I recently thought about this question. What do they mean? Is the tree up. Is the panorama of cookies baked. Is the holiday feast planned. Is the house decorated. Is all of the shopping for those on the gift list done.

I bet you have a few last-minute gifts you still need. The countdown is here. I can’t help you put up your tree, plan your feast, bake your cookies, decorate your house or shop for your presents. What I can help you with are a few ideas for last-minute gifts you can prepare right in your own kitchen.

Nothing shows as much thoughtfulness as something homemade, especially chocolate. A fudgy chocolate truffle rolled in dark cocoa. A festive white chocolate bark coated in peppermint. A chocolate caramel truffle with nuts peeking out on all sides. And now, the newest craze, Cocoa Bombs™. This new generation chocolate treat will be a welcomed gift and you will enjoy the time you save on shopping, by spending it with the family in the kitchen. Even the kids can help.

For inspiration, get a copy of “Cocoa Bombs™: Over 40 Make-at-Home Recipes for Explosively Gun Hot Chocolate Drinks” by Eric Torres-Garcia. (2021, Ryland, Peters & Small,$14.99) The book will also come in handy for Valentine’s Day, which will be here before you know it. So, what exactly is a Cocoa Bomb™?

The author said,” Cocoa Bombs™ are a magical experience like no other. Before them, we really saw no innovation in hot cocoa, which is typically available in plain powder form. It’s so great seeing people try our product for the first time: their eyes light up as the chocolate mesmerizingly melts away and tons of tiny edible surprises rise to the top. I have never seen anyone respond with anything but wows and a big smile.”

Think of a Cocoa Bomb™ as a piñata that melts in your cup. The hollow chocolate spheres are placed into a mug, then steaming hot milk is poured over it… voila, the chocolate melts to create a hot cocoa and then the surprise, marshmallows or other surprises hiding inside are released.

The phenomenon began in December 2019 when Eric Torres-Garcia, the author of the book made a TikTok video https://bit.ly/3DXfD2m   that went viral. By the end of the day, the video had 1.7 million views and orders came in every couple of seconds. Not bad for an accountant turned chocolatier! His business has been thriving ever since www.cocoabombs.com

We all have a favorite flavor and when the author was asked his favorite, it was difficult for him to come up with one. I guess it is like asking a parent to name their favorite child.  He said, “I am a huge fan of chocolate and I love it in all shapes, flavors, and textures. We played with so many ideas during the development of our book. If I had to choose one from the book, I would say that the Butterscotch Apple Crisp is on top of the list, it’s unique and a wonderful flavor combination.” He continued to say,” however, dark chocolate bombs continue to be my favorite. Dark chocolate is not too sweet, and I love savoring the richer notes.”

There are cocoa bomb recipes for occasions ranging from Gender Reveals to Halloween and of course, Christmas. With flavors like Mexican Cinnamon, Pumpkin Spice, Crushed Peppermint, you’re covered for Christmas gift giving.  Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with Luck of the Irish Cocoa Bombs and Easter with Easter Egg Cocoa Bombs.

Once you’ve mastered how to make them at home, you can make flavor variations for kids and adults. And yes, you can put booze in them. The book provides step-by-step instructions from preparing molds, filling and assembling,  as well as decorating ideas, like drizzles and sprinkles. With the packaging and serving suggestions, your Cocoa Bombs will be impressive. Once you get the hang of it, try out your own flavor combinations. I found this video very helpful in understanding techniques to make the treats. Some of the shortcuts reduce the complexity of the process, especially the tempering of the chocolate. https://bit.ly/32ay3iY

So, are you ready for Christmas!

Crushed Peppermint Cocoa Bombs

The headnote says, “To me, nothing screams winter like peppermint flavor candy and nothing screams Christmas like these crushed peppermint cocoa bombs. The red and white candy with the green marshmallows is the perfect festive color palette.”

12 oz. tempered dark chocolate *

TO FILL

3 tablespoons dark chocolate hot cocoa mix/drinking chocolate powder

3 teaspoons crushed peppermint candy pieces

15–21 mini peppermint flavor marshmallows

TO DECORATE

crushed peppermint candy pieces

TO SERVE

3 candy canes (optional)

hot milk of your choice (allow about 1 cup per serving)

Makes 3 cocoa bombs

Use 10 oz. of the tempered chocolate to make 6 cocoa bomb half-shells, following the instructions below *. Remove from the molds. Reserve the remaining chocolate for drizzling..

Prepare 3 small cupcake liners/cases on a parchment-lined baking sheet, or use a clean silicone mold turned upside down. This will hold the bombs in place as you assemble and decorate them.

Following the instructions below **, warm up a pan or plate—you will use this for sticking the half-shells together.

To fill your cocoa bombs, spoon 1 tablespoon of dark chocolate hot cocoa mix/drinking chocolate powder into a half-shell, then add 1 teaspoon of crushed peppermint candy pieces and 5–7 mini peppermint flavor marshmallows, depending on space. Take care not to overfill the shells, as this will make sealing them difficult.

Take another empty half-shell and place it carefully, rim-down onto the warm pan or plate. Let the chocolate rim melt for 3–5 seconds, then gently press together with the filled half-shell to seal, following the detailed instructions below **. Wipe off any excess chocolate around the rim and set aside in the prepared cupcake liner/case or on the upside-down silicone mold.

Repeat with the remaining half-shells and filling to make 3 cocoa bombs.

To decorate, drizzle over the remaining tempered dark chocolate following the instructions below *** sprinkle each one with some crushed peppermint candy pieces. Leave for 15–20 minutes at room temperature to allow the decoration to dry.

Package the bombs as gifts, or to serve, place a cocoa bomb inside a cup or mug and add a candy cane, if you like. Pour over the hot milk of your choice and watch the bomb explode. Stir to mix evenly and serve warm.

TECHNIQUES

* Tempering Chocolate

There are two different ways to temper chocolate—in the microwave or in a double boiler. If you are on a short schedule and simply want to make a small, personal batch, opt for the microwave method. It will save you time, is more convenient, and it is easier to clean up. Each of the recipes in this book makes a small batch. If you are working with larger quantities, use the double boiler method and simply multiply the amounts according to the quantities you desire.

Microwave Method

Put two-thirds of the correct amount of chocolate for your chosen recipe in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Start heating it in the microwave for 35 seconds on high, then remove and stir. It will still be chunky, but stirring helps to distribute the heat evenly. Heat for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Repeat the process for 15 seconds, then 10 seconds thereafter, continuing until the chocolate is melted. Use your thermometer to make sure it reaches, but does not exceed, the melting temperatures specified below. Once the chocolate has reached its melting temperature, add the remaining third of unmelted chocolate and stir until thoroughly combined. Allow to cool to the working temperature outlined on the opposite page and your chocolate will be tempered and ready to use.

Melting Temperatures

Whether you use the microwave or double boiler method, it is essential to let the chocolate reach the following temperatures before working with it. As a general rule of thumb, the lighter the chocolate, the lower the melting point.

Dark chocolate 114–118°F

Milk chocolate  104–113°F

White chocolate 104–109°F

Working Temperatures

Once the chocolate you are using has reached its melting point, allow the chocolate to cool down to the following temperatures before working with it to avoid blooming and other issues.

Dark chocolate 82–88°F

Milk chocolate 88–91°F

White chocolate 80–84°F

** Filling and Sealing the Half-Shells

Now that all of the half-shells have been demolded, it is time to prepare to seal them together. Start by heating a non-stick skillet/frying pan over high heat for 30–40 seconds. Alternatively, you can also heat a microwave-safe dinner plate in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until just hot.

After you have slightly heated a pan or plate, make sure it is completely dry and place it near you on top of a heat-resistant pad or on a heatproof surface.

Balance a half-shell in the dip on a clean upside-down clean silicone mold (see below) or in a cupcake liner/case. Fill the shell first with the hot cocoa mix/drinking chocolate powder, then the marshmallows and/or other sweet treats, according to your chosen recipe. Be sure to avoid overfilling the shells to make the sealing process easier.

After you have filled the shell, grab another empty half-shell and place it rim-down onto the warm pan or plate. The rim of the chocolate shell should slowly melt upon contact. Let the rim melt for 3–5 seconds only. Remove the shell from the heat and line up the melted rim with the dry chocolate shell containing your filling. Lightly press both halves together and hold for 8–10 seconds until set.

Wipe off any excess chocolate around the rim and voilà—you have successfully created your first cocoa bomb! Gently set it down on top of the upside-down silicone mold or in the cupcake liner/case and move on to the next one.

*** Decorating

Drizzles

For cocoa bombs that call for a chocolate drizzle decoration, you will need to temper an additional 2 oz. of chocolate. You can do this in with the chocolate for the shells, or temper it separately when ready to decorate. (Leftover tempered chocolate may crystallize if left out too long, in this case simply reheat it using the same tempering method.)

Once the tempered chocolate is at working temperature, place it in a pastry/piping bag (or you can use a rolled up sheet of baking parchment or small sandwich bag with the tip cut off). Run a thin flow of drizzle across the top of the bombs in zig-zags, spirals, or patterns of your choice.

Candy melts are another option for creating drizzle toppings in bright colors. They do not need to be tempered, just melted before using.

TikTok’s ‘Edward’ trend inspires viral Starbucks coffee order

What The Frapp? 

Dripping in extra whipped cream, caramel syrup drizzle, pumps of cinnamon dulce and honey, five bananas and more — this sticky, tricky Starbucks order has social media percolating. 

And the TikTok trend that inspired the messy mix is enough to make even the most seasoned barista need a post-shift drink. 

Josie, a Starbucks employee, took to Twitter over the weekend, venting about the complicated Venti Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino that a customer named Edward had ordered. 

“On [today’s] episode of why I wanna quit my job,” the coffee-craftswoman complained in a now-viral tweet Saturday. 

His digital grievance was accompanied by a snapshot of “Edward’s double blended” drink and the 13 sweetly specific ingredients it commanded — a recipe that evidently peeved Josie.  

But Edward’s busy Starbucks beverage is just one of the many that have been inspired by a new TikTok trend, which encourages coffee-lovers to get outlandishly creative with their orders. 

Under the hashtag #Starbucks, imaginative content creators are sharing hundreds of customized drinks from the café chain’s unofficial “secret menu” that their followers and fellow patrons can purchase. 

The good news is: coffee fiends are finding funky ways to jazz up their java. 

The bad news is: baristas abhor making these elaborate, time-consuming treats. 

“This order comes in every other week,” a fellow Starbucks staffer tweeted, empathizing with Josie via a picture of a Green Tea Creme Frappuccino with 29 supplementary specifications.    

“I raise you this,” another coffee maker carped, alongside a flick of a Caffè Misto with over 30 additional demands. 

And customers who are waiting behind the “Edwards” of the world aren’t fond of the TikTok coffee craze either. 

“I was behind a woman who had an order that ridiculous and insisted it be heated to 37 degrees celsius ..’not 36, not 38–I will KNOW the difference,’ ” one patron said in response to Josie’s tweet. 

“The Starbucks employee asked for her name..her reply “Sexy Vivacious,” she lamented, adding the eye-rolling emoji for emphasis.

 So far, Josie is taking the new-found Twitter fame in stride. But the loyal barista just hopes he doesn’t get fired for spilling the beans about Starbucks’s overly-crafty clientele.

New Delhi:

Pop star Justin Bieber and his wife, model Hailey Baldwin are currently in self isolation in Canada – the singer’s home country – to stay safe from the coronavirus outbreak. And the couple have been sharing fun-filled glimpses of their self quarantine diaries. They painted Instagram red with colours of love with a loved-up picture. Justin and Hailey, who fill up their Instagram with photos of them kissing, added one more to the collection. “My quarantine partner,” Justin captioned the photo. BTW, is there snow in the backdrop? Justin and Hailey are wearing snow goggles too in the photo and heavy winter wear. Guess they went skiing or were just taking a walk around the house! Later, they had some cinnamon rolls and milk at home (head to Hailey’s Instagram stories for proof).

Take a look at the perfect kiss, featuring Justin and Hailey.

Meanwhile, when at home, make TikTok videos because why not? Here are Justin and Hailey caught in the act of dancing to Slidegang by Little Jackie.

Justin Bieber also recently went live on his Instagram and gave his fans a little pep talk about taking necessary precautions against the coronavirus: “Are you washing your hands? You gotta stay clean with the coronavirus. Stay quarantined, you guys stay safe.”

Justin Bieber, who lives in Los Angeles, flew into Canada on March 16, the same day that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that the ban on the entry of foreign travellers.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin had a secret wedding in 2018, which he later confirmed with a “My wife is awesome” post. Last year, Justin opened up about battling Lyme disease. Before that, he also talked about dealing with drug abuse at the age of 19, dealing with stardom as a teenage pop sensation, his troubled relationships in the past and fighting suicidal thoughts in a heart-wrenching Instagram post, which went crazy viral.
