Quentin's Weeknotes 5/30/21 to 6/5/21
This week:
- I worked on research for an upcoming masks exhibit.
- I prepared to submit a panel to a conference on repatriation.
- I wrote a rec letter for a student.
- I finished reading volume 5 of Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky’s “Sex Criminals” which continues to be a wonderful combination of filthy, sweet, funny, and strange.
- I finished reading Annalee Newitz “Scatter, Adapt, and Remember: How Humans Will Survive a Mass extinction” and I wrote up some notes on it.
- I tried a few new recipes for family meals:
- Instant Pot Cajun Red Beans and Rice–Delicious, but took much longer than the recipe suggests (over 2 hours including prep). Also, too spicy even for my relatively adventurous kids.
- Instant Pot Beef Enchiladas – The real star of this was the beef, which was good, and relatively quick to make. I should’ve bought a more interesting enchillada sauce. We’ll probably cook the beef and eat it along with homemade tortillas as tacos rather than in enchiladas.
- Creamy Potato Soup– Also took a very long time, almost 1.5 hours including prep. This recipe makes a psychotic amount of soup, which we froze for a later date. We garnished it with Bacon and chives from our garden.
