August 10, 2020 – August 16, 2020
Bucket List Items Accomplished
- Take a silversmithing course. I took a one day course at Argentum, a local silversmithing school. It was a really gratifying experience, and I’m so pleased with my stacked rings.
- Eat soft shelled crab. I had an entire tempura crab. I also enjoyed it in a spider roll.
- Eat bannock. The Songhees Seafood and Steam food truck made this delicious bannock with berry preserve.
- Eat Som Tam (Thai green papaya salad)
Things I Enjoyed this Week
- My total count of random acts of kindness is now at 27.
- Left a great Google review for Axe and Grind, the place where I threw axes last week.
- Did a direct postcard swap with a student from Germany
- Spent a day complimenting strangers for various things
- I want to continue posting the new words I find in the wild from books or podcasts.
- Staid – sober, sedate, respectable
- Louche – disreputable, sordid, indecent
- Miche – large rustic sourdough bread loaf with high percentage of whole wheat
- I watched no Oscar Best Picture Winners.
- I taught myself no new constellations this week.
Meal Prep and New Recipes Tried
- I made Blistered Shisito Peppers from Cookie and Kate. They were delicious with plenty of flakey salt.
- I needed to use a giant zucchini that I was gifted, so I made Zucchini Orzo Salad with Chimichurri from Budgetbytes.
Updates
- Nothing to report this week
