Lasagne
We went to the store and got ingredients, including a stop at Red Brick Pizza to get some vegan cheese, and made two big trays of vegan tofu veggie lasagne. Homemade sauce, spinach, zucchini, crook neck squash, broccoli, and brussel sprouts. Yum! We used the no-boil lasagne noodles. They were fine except the top layer because we didn’t have enough sauce to get it moist enough so it didn’t cook much. But with the melted vegan cheese and the little bit of cooking it made a nice crunchy side. Even after eating a bunch for dinner there are about 10 additional single servings stored in the freezer.
Contacts for Katelyn
Katelykn got her first taste of contacts last week, and she likes them enough that we ordered a year’s supply today. She looks different!
A Week of Planning
Wednesday was a meeting about the Exiles Articles and Policies, and I’ve been organizing the Exiles booth for Pride, planning to work at the LLW booth at Pride, and testing out my motorcycle to make sure it will be OK for the parade.
Jennifer & Selena
Another delightful visit from Jennifer and Selena on Sunday. We talked, snacked, and had a couple of fun games of Stone Age. Missed Val…
Peaceful at home
Val left for Japan on Friday, and I dropped the kids at Kathie’s on Sunday. She took them to my mom’s for a few days. The house has been empty. I love my family and miss them, but I am very much enjoying the peace.
Solar
We signed up to get solar panels to help with our electric bill. We’re going with a company called Synergy because they’re roofing contractors who say they won’t have a problem with our metal Cal-Pac roof. They have to do drawing and get permits. The work should be completed in July.
Back from Palm Springs, tired but happy
It was incredibly hot in Palm Springs, up to 106 on Sunday. But the Desire weekend is an amazing time that I wouldn’t miss for anything… already signed up for next year. I got home early Monday morning and just did nothing but chill out all day, watching TV and napping and drinking lots of water. What a delight!
Off to Palm Springs
Leaving later on today for the Desire weekend in Palm Springs. Should be great fun, although well over 100 degrees. Yikes!
Haley places in the chess tournament
Haley’s core class had an ongoing chess tournament throughout most of the year. It finished yesterday, and Haley took third place. Congratulations!
Out on the town
On Saturday, Val and I first conducted the Exiles orientation with Rio, and then headed over to the Powerhouse to wish Leland a happy birthday. I must be getting old… it felt weird to be heading into a bar at 10pm, and then hanging out with loud music and partying folks for a while. But it was a lot of fun, especially dancing with Lance.
