§ Back to teaching after two weeks of winter vacation. Although, as always, I wish the vacation was longer, it feels nice to start getting back into my normal routines after the crazy holiday season. Worst case scenario: ten weeks until spring break, twenty-one until summer.
§ I have been listening to the album Distance by the band Erasers a lot after discovering it on James Reeves' list of favorite albums of 2022. Overall, the list is full of great minimal electronic artists that are all new to me. It is going to make the perfect soundtrack for some gray winter days ahead.
§ Longmont Potion Castle 20 was released on Friday. The tracks I have had the opportunity to listen to so far are amazing, as usual.
§ Three of the quails escaped into the garage which made for a real Yakety Sax evening as Caroline and I ran around trying to catch them in makeshift nets.

§ Recipes
Getting back into my work schedule this week meant much less cooking at home. I did at least get the opportunity to make one new-to-me recipe — arroz con pollo.
Recipe discovery is difficult. I would love to find a personal cooking blog that is not full of SEO spam.
- Cajun sausage and rice skillet
- An old classic. I had to use some kielbasa that was left over from Kapusniak last week. Easy and quick to make and goes great with cornbread.
- Arroz con pollo
- This was good but not quite as good as my favorite Spanish rice recipe. I will definitely incorporate some elements from that recipe if I make this one again. A big positive is that I now have a huge quantity of very versatile leftovers.
