Carefully Clamped

Carefully clamped an electrical project box before drilling holes in it. Last time I wasn’t so careful, and ended up at Urgent Care.

Menu Management System

Our new Menu Management System imposes structure on our week, reminds us which day it is, and helps us manage our inventory of vegetables. We shouldn’t need to go to a supermarket until the middle of next week.

Seeking Normalcy

Today we set up Zoom accounts so Dwight can attend yoga classes, and I can tutor ESL students. Note to self: try to remember to shave.

Stocking Up

I love grocery shopping, but for now it’s once a week. When outside I keep my phone in a one-pint Ziploc bag, hence this view of Wedge Co-op’s produce section today.

Data Snapshot

Backed up data to a BitLocker-encrypted thumb drive. All our data backs up continuously, but I like to periodically save a snapshot.

Zoji Cooking Polenta

This evening, Zoji is cooking polenta. This is new for us: for years it’s been cooking rice, and steelcut oats. (After this experiment, I found it best to make polenta on the stovetop, stirring frequently.)

Basil Pesto

Fresh basil for a salad. Soon Dwight will process all the basil into a pesto which we will then freeze.

Multicultural Ingredients

Enjoyed the fruits of my Tuesday multicultural walk. For dinner: sautéed Chinese broccoli with risotto (bitter versus sweet), Japanese Kit-Kats for dessert. For lunch: Norwegian-style lefse, butter, no sugar, with stinky cheeses.

A Run-in With a Drill

Got sewn back together after an incident involving an electric drill. The staff at Urgent Care were lovely, and I had a nice lie down.
