CRUSHED GHIRADELLI CHOCOLATE & THE CRAZY CUOMO KIDS – Marilyn Armstrong

CRUSHED GHIRADELLI CHOCOLATE & THE CRAZY CUOMO KIDS

Andrew Cuomo, New York State’s Governor, seems about as sane and down-to-earth as anyone in government can be. Considering the damage to New York from COVID 19, he’s done about as well as anyone could have done, or at least that’s the way it seems.

Crushed chocolate – a delivery tragedy

In the meantime, his broth Chris and his weirdo wife — well, here’s a clip from the New York Post:

If you thought the antics of CNN blowhard Chris Cuomo could get any more cringe-worthy — his wife, Cristina, has put together a list of preposterous privileged preparations she used to battle COVID-19, including a vitamin IV drip, Peruvian tree bark, and bleach baths.

“Cristina, who herself was diagnosed with coronavirus last week, posted an eye-popping blog titled “The Cuomos’ Corona Protocol” on the website thepuristonline.com, saying, “Here’s what I did to push it out over the week,” adding this is “an opportunity to learn how to keep the immune system up.”

Proving herself to be the Gwyneth Paltrow of herbal medicine, Cristina’s list of supplements not exactly accessible to the common consumer include “Peruvian bark … essential to oxygenate the blood”; glutathione powder, an antioxidant; the medicinal florals xanthium — used to combat allergies and which some Chinese herbalists warn is toxic — and magnolia, used to reduce anxiety and inflammation; plus viracid, which includes black elderberries to boost the immune system.

… In what reads like a piece from The Onion, Cristina adds, “Both days, I added ½ cup of Clorox to my bathwater to combat the radiation and metals in my system and oxygenate it.” Adding a small amount of non-concentrated bleach to a bath is said by some to rid the skin of bacteria. However, doctors say the smell of bleach can trigger asthma and other breathing problems, and it is not recommended for skin with open cuts.

Now Chris Cuomo’s teenage son Mario has coronavirus.”

Who does their grocery shopping? I’m having trouble getting bread and fruit juice, or for that matter, fresh fruit. I haven’t had these kinds of cravings for food since a long-ago pregnancy. Last night there was nothing on earth I wanted more than a bacon and tomato sandwich. Garry concurred. He had two. I had one. A bit of mayo and voila! A sandwich to die for.

I was trying to figure out how to save it, but eventually gave up and tossed it.

Now I am waiting for a chocolate cake. I ordered the chocolate from Amazon — Ghiradelli, the good stuff. They ran over it with their truck so there’s another one on the way. Maybe I’ll make a white cake today. Or better yet, a lemon cake.

Afterward, I can promote it as yet one more yummy way to prevent catching the virus. You don’t even have to create a frosting made of bleach.

I can sell my recipe (I have to create the recipe first), but I used to be good at this until I gave up baking to save myself from morbid obesity. Now, it doesn’t seem to matter as much. I haven’t worn anything except sweat pants for months.

  4. There are some really strange ideas out there, Marilyn. Amazon seems to be a great on-line shop in the USA. I have only ever bought books from Amazon UK and Amazon USA. I didn’t know they had all these other products.

    • They started out as a book and music store and the rest just grew. Now they are struggling to meet deadlines, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise. Most of us can’t get a normal food list at our regular grocery stores. Until they can find a way to get the deliveries back to normal, the stores won’t be normal either. The big cities are getting better service. Little towns like this one, not so much.

      • I wonder what Mario Cuomo would have to say about son, Chris and his Wife.

      • I expect that is the same in my country, Marilyn. I live in a city so we aren’t missing much in our grocery stores. Some things like self raising flour are not available but there are substitutes.

  5. Someone should tell the lady there’s no way of sterilizing skin and you really wouldn’t want to. The thought of taking a bath in bleach sounds horrendous.

  6. They ran over your chocolate with their truck? O_o Um. Now that’s a reallly really new one on me. Here’s hoping you get some more (gratis of course, the shipping company should pay IMHO), and get your cake. May I compliment you yet again on your attitude and fortitude during this mess? I heard on the radio today that they’re hosting a benefit for New Jersey. Double O_o … Why not include Massachusetts in that? You guys have had it just as bad..

    • Massacusetts and New Jersey and New York are sharing the spoils. Have been all along. So far, it hasn’t crawled up the coast to Northern New England, but maybe it won’t. It’s much more rural up there.

    • They are sending me a new one. This happens more often with Fedex than UPS, but everyone is short-staffed, so I’m surprised when products actually show up!

  9. When I first saw Andrew and Chris Cuomo together, I thought they were funny. I still like the Gov, but Chris and his wife…. I am so sure Christina wears sweats, just like you and I, Marilyn. Only after her bleach baths she pops into Peruvian hand-loomed organic linen sweats. You know–from Amazon. Just like you and I. Right.
