Asides

I could eat you up

The minion did something adorable earlier, to which the wife said, “I can eat you up!”

The minion’s response:

But if you eat me up I’ll be in your stomach, so you won’t see me any more.

And then I’ll disappear and become poo, cause that’s what happens to food in your stomach.

I’ll be a very big poo!

Sweet…or superfood?

Earlier this year I started running and cycling in an attempt to be healthier. More on how that’s going later…

Meanwhile, if you start reading up about exercise, you’re bound to come across mention of the post-workout snack. Essentially, after getting your heart pumping, you need to take in some carbs to replenish your body’s energy reserves, and some proteins your muscles can use to start rebuilding themselves.

Consisting entirely of sugar and eggwhites, meringues are both…

Could meringues be the ultimate post-workout snack?

(By the way, they’re looking good, aren’t they? Only my second time making them, but they came out perfectly!)

Zoom

The minion is having a make-believe Zoom call. No screen, just an old, broken keyboard I’ve given her to play with.

The wife and I both had to come say hi to her “work people” – she always pops in during my bi-weekly video call with the rest of my team to say hello 😀

Uncooperative insects

The minion just had a meltdown because a cockroach wouldn’t stay put so she can look at it.

In other news, we’ve gone two nights in a row with no diaper and no accidents. Yay!

Also, I can give her a series of instructions to complete a task, and not only does she complete the task successfully, she actually comes back and ask questions if she’s not sure what to do. She’s already more advanced than most highschoolers I’d ever taught, and a disturbing number of adults I know…
