marithNot much exciting the last couple of weeks. RWBY has well and truly caught my interest, and then the studio had to make the new season much harder to watch just at the same time @space_parasite's computer broke. So we won't get to start it till this week. I would like there to be good fanfiction about Qrow, but I don't have any ideas to write it myself - the eternal frustration point!
Fluffy brown cat has finally decided he likes at least one of the new foods we've been trying on him, so I really hope he will regain vim and vigor soon. It's sad to see him huddled silently on the couch most of the time instead of being up, down, into things and meowing at 3am. (Never thought I'd miss that last one.) He does greatly enjoy the birdfeeder videos now.
Gravity Falls is silly but mostly in smart ways. We're almost through the first season; it reminds both of us of Invader Zim, but this has more coherent plot.
Niece gaming: The party has made it through the maze of traps, proving their worth to the small prairie dog creatures. Now they just have to convince the centaurs to negotiate. Alas, the matriarch just stumbled up above on the surface and put her relatively giant-sized hoof down through the ceiling of the meeting chamber. Niece fulfilled a long-cherished dream by saving the others with her very last spell and fainting dramatically from the effort.
@space_parasite has signed us up for a weekly box of fresh vegetables! That is....a LOT of vegetables. An overwhelming amount this past week. I tried cramming multiple vegetables into everything and the results were not always successful, though @space_parasite valiantly consumed them anyway. It's going to be a challenge to compromise between the savory-meat-with-dairy dishes I tend to prefer with all the veggies we ought to be eating.

- BBQ sauce/honey baked chicken sauteed with onions: win
- Beets and other veggies stirfried with garlic and balsamic vinegar: So-so, mostly because I'm not a beet fan.
- Salmon with creamy lemon-caper sauce, over orzo with peas: WIN
- Balsamic tomato chicken with onions: win
- Baby bok choy sauteed with ginger and garlic: YUM. It's a new vegetable I actually like!
- Mahi mahi with lemon basil butter sauce : Decent. Uses up an awful lot of butter if want enough sauce to be satisfying.
- Roasted spaghetti sqash with parmesan and rosemary: Not quite as good as the first time I made it, but still tasty
- Lasagna: OK, but then we had a mountain of leftover lasagna that defeated me after two days. Next time, smaller pan. Also the no-boil noodles aren't as good, negating their convenience.
- Sundried tomato chicken: a reliable win
- Roasted asparagus: Simple and tasty as long as I don't leave it in too long
- Parmesan herb baked mahi mahi: Tasty! Requires Greek yogurt.
- Cinnamon roasted butternut squash: Also very tasty.
- Potato-chard frittata: Meh. So many vegetables they overwhelmed the egg. @space_parasite said it was better as leftovers, but if I make it again it will be with moderation.
- Lemon garlic bokchoy: FAIL. I tried to use all of the last lemon, and it came out too citroid to be edible.
