Sam and Dad made baked tofu and pasta for dinner. The kids talked about all the icky smells at school, what constitutes a "silly little man" and we tried to convince Sam that they were wrong about what actor looks like Abraham Lincoln.

Eli and Dad made hotdogs... Well, Eli did all of the work because Dad was feeling sick with a head cold. We are Doctor Who fans and had to talk about it, so here's your SPOILER WARNING! 😁. Mommy couldn't stop making inappropriate hotdog jokes and we talked about the movie Dad was watching this afternoon - Curse of Frankenstein with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. Enjoy!

Mom made scrambled tofu and pasta for dinner. Sam talked about their transcendentalism class, and almost had a breakdown. We talked a little about Eli's class project and then discussed the Sweater vs. sweatshirt controversy. Enjoy!

Dad and Eli cooked Three Cheese Stuffed Shells. Today is Eli's birthday! Yay! We talked about Sam's interactions with their therapist, Eli opened one present and we also got lost in a conversation about time, since it seemed that all of our clocks froze at the same time! Spooky!

Sam and Dad finally made the steak burritos Sam wanted to make last week. We talked about Eli getting medication, Sam sexualizing bugs, and Mom's plan for the house in the future.

Dad and Sam were supposed to cook steak burritos in Wednesday, but Sam was too sick, so dad had to cook the steak today, and just made pasta to eat with it (by request from Eli). We got some News From The Farm and also talked about how our bodies are falling apart.

Sam was sick...? We think it's a head cold. Sam and Dad were supposed to cook tonight, but Sam asked Dad to cook on his own. So, we had instant minestrone with some added ground beef and sourdough bread with butter. Eli has some post nasal drip, so he wouldn't stop coughing... And hilarity ensued!

Mom cooked a new recipe - fried pork dumplings over a bed of salad covered in a peanut sauce (Eli ate yogurt with granola). It was scrumptious! We spoke about how to eat the new dinner, Eli's day at school, Sam's senior trip and we had News From The Farm.

We're back! Welcome to Season 2! Sam and Dad made Steak and Bok Choy, but had to replace the baby bok choy with broccoli. We discuss Sam being both creator and destroyer, Hispanic Heritage Month and how mommy has trouble pronouncing Galapagos.

We talk about the kids' respective trips and some of the potential sensory and anxiety issues each may have. We also get some News From The Farm from Mom. The kids are away on 12th grade and 8th grade trips all week, so we'll take a small break and be back 9/26, just enough time for you to catch up! 😁
