It’s Monday (May 20, 2024)

Some things last week:

Made the usual Tartine country sourdough, using a 50/50 whole wheat/plain flour blend.

Sashimi special!

And also mixed tempura for Sunday lunch.

And the kids said that we haven’t had In-N-Out in ages, so here we are.

We went to the farmers market for the first time this year. There were cherries out, and at $5 a pound, that was a pretty good price for sweet cherries. We’re not sure if we want to go cherry picking this year (it’s about 1h drive from us), and I heard from someone who went last week that it’s about $4 a pound there. So I guess $5 a pound for cherries at a farmers market a few min from us is pretty good.

And we grabbed a flat of strawberries and they were huge!

The fifth grader made a solar oven at school and wanted me to take a photo of his creation.

Currently…

Reading:

The Family Chao – Lan Samantha Chang

Watching:

Over the weekend, we started watching Band of Brothers with the kids. The husband and I have watched it a few times, but after the kids enjoyed watching Masters of the Air, we figured they could probably watch Band of Brothers too.

Listening:

Kween – Vichet Chum

Eating and Drinking:

Had some overnight oats with honey, raisins and sliced banana for breakfast.

Cooking:

We still have some bits of leftovers for dinner. But I was thinking of making Thai curry, maybe with chicken and different vegetables.

Last week:

I read:

We Hunt the Flame – Hafsah Faizal

The Colliding Worlds of Mina Lee – Ellen Oh

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog   and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.
