You’d be hard-pressed to find a family enjoying their COVID-19 isolation time more than the Rochford family in Montreal West.
They’ve turned once mundane and redundant family dinners into fabulous themed costume parties, night after night. “There are stresses going on, but it’s something to look forward to at the end of the day when it’s all-hands-on-deck for dinner,” Marilyn Meikle said.
The idea came about at the end of March. A few weeks into confinement, Marilyn Meikle’s two children, 20-year-old Julie Rochford and 26-year-old Katie Rochford, moved back home.
Katie’s boyfriend Cullen Petersen also moved in. They took turns cooking dinner each night. Julie had seen a themed dinner post on social media, and decided to try it at home.
