Administrivia: covid ; catching up
No, I have not been traveling. We all have covid. I’ll catch up soon.
I cooked the mushrooms today. I also made mushroom stock. And I took some nearly overripe bananas and combined them with melted chocolate and put that in the freezer. With temps like these, frozen dessert is definitely called for.
I cubed and airfryered the skinny eggplants today, because they are already getting wiggly. I had another heat-and-eat for dinner. We made the tamarind pollock with green beans and pickled jalapeno with rice from sunbasket for lunch. That was pretty good.
I cooked the chicken tenders from Lilac Hedge in the countertop oven. I moved it to the broiler for the last 10 degrees; I should have done that for the last 20 degrees. Boy, A. really loved them tho.
She did her summer day camp today. She’s also continuing to listen to audiobooks.
Walden arrived today. R. is far enough along that he is allowed to go to the store as long as he wears a mask, so he replenished yogurt, juice, american cheese, bread and english muffins, spread — Roche Bros. stuff.
Another order of necklace extenders and clasps arrived, so I got the lizard link anklet repaired and wearable, another beaded necklace wearable, and the leaf link necklace wearable. I’m eying those necklace layering devices. I found a hilarious review online that complained about how that does not prevent tangling when you wear the three necklaces overnight. !!! No one mentioned not to wear them to bed, so she figures this is fair. I’m like, plausible, also, risible. It’s super easy to take off; why would you wear it while sleeping.
I haven’t ordered one, but I am thinking about it.
ETA: Yeah, no. Never mind.
Anyway. Fever came down around midnight (early morning this day). It has not returned and as long as nothing weird happens, I’m allowed to go out starting the 23rd, according to current CDC guidelines.
Also, I had A. take a covid test. It took 45 seconds for the T line to pop and another 45 for the C line to pop. That is most definitely a positive (it was exactly the same at 15 minutes).
Canceled phone calls with J. and I. because limited voice.
