Not much going on this week. We spent August clearing leftover odds and ends out of the freezer, which was great when it was too hot to cook.
— meatloaf, potatoes, salad
— chicken, gravy, cranberry sauce, stuffing
— marinated vegetable salad (fridge cleanout)
— hamburgers
— LONG Labor Day vacation weekend!
I find the DA and PA metrics fascinating. A DA of 50 is impressive, showing authority, while the N/A PA raises questions. It’s intriguing how SS is a work in progress at “1…” – I wonder what insights it will provide once complete.
The pancakes-for-dinner move at 3:30 pm on a Tuesday is so relatable. That honest scramble to make something work with what you’ve got at home instead of running errands captures real meal planning. I use a free online construction calculator for building materials when I’m scaling recipes up or estimating prep space, which honestly helps when you’re improvising like this. Also, buildcalculator.app has been useful lately.
