cimoreneFriday was the first time in months Wax has felt up to the hassle of making delicious delicious Ragusea Pea Pasta. It's the first time she's been up to doing that much food prep since Christmas, and if you leave out Christmas, the first time since last September I think.
I am a competent food preparer, but this is one of the dishes she always makes, and the one time so far she has tried to teach me, I spilled half the cream and lemon juice all over the floor and cabinets before making the sauce, then spilled half the pasta in the sink a few minutes later so we had to start over twice. Sometimes I have clumsy days where I should not attempt tasks that require coordination, and that was one. Wax calls it Going Full Mr Bean. We will have to do the Learning thing again sometime for me to master it.
Unfortunately the immersion blender died before it could be used, so now I need to order another immersion blender.
Also last night Tristana and Sipuli were both active and playing on opposite sides of the gate for a while! By coordinating efforts we got a fair bit of time where they could see each other playing, although Tristana was still overly cautious, with a tendency to go away from the baby gate into the rest of the room where Sipuli couldn't see her. And Sipuli did still pounce on the gate a couple of times. But it's probably positive for them, and good that we managed to do it.

And I didn't get food poisoning from the two bites of the leftover Mexican rice I ate yesterday before I realized it was spoiled and threw it away.
Go me!
