Beavers back from extinction to save Sweden.

Image
Wildlife / ecosystem recovery stories are just good for the soul.  I got exactly 0 hours of sleep in bed and a few bits of nap. I am a grownup. I stayed up all night being a YouTube news junkie and also ducking some emotions. When I get too tired, the emotions don't throb as much. I just can barely think the next day. The other dawn delight though was just how mild the weather felt, in the high 50's already at 7 am. I WILL sleep tonight and may not even try for Wednesday worship in Kyiv.

"Chordash Monti" for two double bases

Image
 from before the #Pandemic but still the same performer laying down two tracks. Info in the description about instrument size, extended fingerboard, and string type that probably help make the instrument sound more cello-like. Fun music and a way to self-soothe amid all the other CRAP on one's social media timelines. 5:52 hours of sleep. Awake much too late for an in-person meeting. The world will not stop and I am working on trusting the rest of the team.

Basically something between Omelet and Mac and Cheese but

Image
 One of the things that intrigues me is the portability once it's baked 7:12 hours of sleep. I am SO glad I got a shower and shampoo before bed. Beautiful day but I did not get out. I did manage to do dishes.  Woohoo

Mediterranean Style potato salad: NO MAYO

Image
  about 1:06 hours of sleep. Mom passed away 3 months ago today. I am not sure just giving in to grief and not trying to sleep more was optimal but I seem to have done okay though I did come home and crash after my morning gig at WCB leadership

God's Gonna Cut you Down--MARILYN MANSON

Image
 Speaking of artists one would not predict and in honor of the President and minions attempting to beef with Pope Leo 4:52 hours of sleep. Too many carbs too late at night but at least no leg cramps, just waves of grief/rage /grief.  Ain't parental loss grand? I am glad I actually slept instead of starting laundry at 4:30 am when I woke up the first time. Today was 3 trips to take out trash and recycling. Some kind of virtue along with assimilating various concepts relevant to other active themes.

Baked Rice

Image
Because Recipes one might actually cook are SO necessary as a distraction from everything else in the timeline.  This recipe makes risotto style rice prep sound easy and satisfying.  In the can't / won't exactly follow the recipe camp, I might add a layer of spinach or chopped nuts or nuts roasted in a little garlic oil in the middle and less mozzarella. Maybe 4:?? hours of sleep. I think it was longer than that, but I woke up with the CPAP off.

Eggplant Caponata

Image
 New chef with Sicilian flavor Note to self, toss the eggplant with oil and roast in the oven. Also olives? But I'm willing to try. 5:58 hours of sleep. Getting to bed early is everything even when I had to track down a lost yam from the oven. Don't ask. Random kitchen while blind moment with a burned out oven light bulb and an oven that REALLY needs to be cleaned. Adulting is SO MUCH FUN.
