A. had a _great_ day at camp. She is making a new friend who is there all day with her (K. is only there in the afternoons) who also likes to play Minecraft. We are trying to build interest in a group creative freebuild minecraft for just kids who know each other IRL. I talked to my sister about maybe including my nieces; there is tentative interest. One of the nieces suggested looking into setting up a minecraft server in the minimalist form offered on the main website. I had thought we'd have to go set up a cloud account if we didn't want to run our own on a physical machine here (which we don't really want to do); this might be a lot easier. Learning things!

A. and R. had a lovely conversation about Scratch, Java, stop motion animation and some other odds and ends. Family geeking involving a kiddo! Very fun!

I had a nice walk with M.

I did some housecleaning. Mostly roomba and bathrooms.

Yesterday, I made the chicken adobo for lunch.

It was good. It was very not safe for R. I had the other half for lunch today.

We made the chicken stir fry tonight.

That was tasty.

We cleaned out the fridge as part of the take out of the trash part of the evening. Which is to say that the carcass of the spatchcock chicken went away. A. finished last week's cupcakes off tonight; along with cooking 2 of the 3 meal kits, it is now looking pretty empty in there. There are still white beans, brown rice, and cauliflower general tso's, and a sandwich for T.'s lunch tomorrow, but that's kind of it. I will have to come up with a plan for what else to cook at some point.

ETA:

Last Monday, LaserShip kind of screwed me over on the SunBasket delivery. They put it in the garage (not a problem) at 7:46 or thereabouts (not sure when), but didn't mark it as delivered until well after 10:30 p.m. And they marked it delivered to the front door, so I didn't figure out where it had landed until after midnight, when I woke up and it occurred to me they might have put it in the garage while that door was open in the evening for a couple hours. *sigh* I had already contacted SunBasket. LaserShip is NR according to BBB, because of delivery problems that were much worse than this -- people claim to have been banned from Amazon because they kept reporting stuff as non-delivered by LaserShip and LaserShip kept saying they'd delivered it. But it was a frustrating enough experience to push me over the edge and cancel Plated (poor Plated! But I'd been skipping a lot anyway, and just tired of trying to find no dairy / low / no allium options that didn't have crazy sodium), hit Skip on the one upcoming SunBasket that wasn't already Skipped, and start thinking hard about canceling that subscription. Hard to know what to do for sure.

In happier events, the pink sheets (and the MLP sheets) I ordered for A. arrived, and we put them on her bed. She's very happy.
