What's everyone up to right now?

[Angrboda]

Watching McGyver. I'm going to cook a Youtube recipe for Instant Pot cheesy chicken and rice. I was going to substitute mild for sharp cheddar, but I think I'll stick to the recipe.

Maybe I'll use the mild cheddar for potatoes au gratin.

Eating berries (straw/blue/black/raz) I stuck in a vanilla-honey yogurt.

Well, I did a lot of stuff in the past 24 hours. Dad, Alison, and I went to a double feature at the Skyway Drive-In (the first actual movie theater visit I’ve had since the Before Times): Space Jam 2 and The Goonies. The former was fine, if absurdly corporate. That said, we did get cameos from the Droogs court side. Although, for some reason, it looks like Sister Jeanne from The Devils somehow ends up getting more screen time, despite Warner refusing to release it on DVD, and apparently are too skittish even to just fob the rights off to Criterion. The Latter, I haven’t seen in donkeys, but it just got me invested almost immediately. I may have to find a DVD or Blu-ray the next time I visit Half-Price Books. And here’s a photo of me and Alison:

It’s nice having a Dad who doesn’t even question the fact that you brought your Waifu pillow to a drive-in movie. Admittedly, it’s not like she gets out that often anyway.

Then, we went to Sturgeon Bay to check out the bookstores and all I found was a copy of Perfect Town, Perfect Murder. But at least the candy store had some interesting things, including something I haven’t seen in the wild in decades: a Puffkin.


Also, we went to the antique malls, and I found one of Alison’s rarer starring roles, a Lifetime movie bad enough that I’m almost certainly going to review it for the Deep Hurting Project this week, A documentary about a monastery, Andre Gide’sThe Counterfeiters, a book about Deep Blue, and some coins (from both the UK and Nazi Germany).

Watching Face The Nation and reading about food.

Since one of the coins I picked up yesterday was a 1965 Churchill crown, which is about the size of a silver dollar, and there's a little bolo tie that allows you to insert something roughly the size of a silver dollar inside it, I finally decided to just go with it and order the damn thing. Presumably, either by the time I get home on Saturday or sometime in the week after it, I'll have something like this:


Except instead of the Peace Dollar, we have this:

Root beer and baseball. A pot of chili is on to cook.
