The only experience I had was Hello Fresh back during lockdowns. I also found myself taking longer to cook the dishes than they quoted. Hopefully someone else has more experience and can add some suggestions, but while looking around I saw that there are some services that are more ‘open and heat up’ than cooking. Maybe that could work for the busiest days of the week?

You also might have already come across this, but I browsed this article on pc mag to see what’s out there now.

Loved my 3ds. It helped me get back into gaming regularly. I had weird guilt when I tried to sit down at a console or pc to play, thinking I should use my time more wisely, but was able to spend hours on Animal Crossing and then other games.

I got introduced to the Fire Emblem series through it and loved them. Although I never finished Shadows of Valencia. One day, I’ll get back to it.

I also learned that Resident Evil, while awesome, is not for me to play lol.

Happy birthday! I have two options I default to for my birthday. Either a big breakfast for dinner or what I call Nostalgia Dinner. Sliced cucumbers and tomatoes with salt and pepper on the side, four vegetables (always butter or Lima beans, green beans, collard greens, black eyed peas, etc) and a small pork chop.

Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve never played anything like it, so I’ll be on the lookout for more games once I finish with it. That’ll probably be awhile since I can see myself doing a few playthroughs. Right now have a solo campaign and a multiplayer one going.

And in my attempt to get off social media some, I’ve gotten back into Slay the Spire.

Fire Emblem: Awakening on Lunatic mode. It just wasn’t fun and I already didn’t like enemies popping up and getting to attack in the same turn.

I’ll have to mention that to my friend. She just got started raising ducks this year. And now I’m a convert to duck eggs over chicken eggs. Haha

Sounds delicious! It was also cool to hear about the, um, extra bits and how they’ll be used. I’d never heard the feet could be used like that.

I received an unexpected apology almost 20 years after the fact. I had long since moved on and had no hard feelings for the person.

Before that apology, I was like most people who thought an apology like that would feel selfish or self-serving for the person giving the apology. Instead, it felt very genuine and weirdly made me feel a little better about humanity. Like, if this person can grow and come out the other side a better, happier person, then more people can too.

Really interesting read! I remember that box at the store and being curious about it. I can’t remember if I ever played it though.

Looks great! I really need to up my ramen game.

Looks amazing! I might have to add pot roast to my shopping list now.

I recently read Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree and I can already tell cozy fantasy is going to be a subgenre I keep going back to when I need something light in my life. In fact, it’ll probably be exactly what I look to when I’m done reading LOTR.
