The girls liked this, probably because I did not tell them what's about to happen to their morning cereal.

ASSESSMENT: At this point this section just has to be about whether a recipe is worth the ingredients used, and...no. But this would have been a success in the Before Times.
PROJECT STATUS: Sheltering-in-place until at least April 13th
Some things to do if you are also sheltering-in-place:
- "Mindful coloring" with relaxing classical music
- Free books on Audible for all ages
- Educational shows for kids available on streaming
- Keep playing Animal Crossing even though you find it more frustrating than relaxing solely so you can understand the Animal Crossing references on Twitter; lie to yourself that this is not the only reason you do most of the things you do
- Wonder at what point in the apocalypse you get to shave your head and perhaps more enticingly the heads of your children
- Duolingo, I guess, although between this and Animal Crossing you are starting to feel a surprising resentment toward cartoon owls
- Do one random stretch in the kitchen just to see if your body still...like, works
- Run the dishwasher again
- Spend your allotted 45 minutes per afternoon convinced that you have it, you definitely have it, you can't breathe and you feel terrible
- Check the Austin allergy report and determine that the lung-squeezing culprit is actually oak pollen, as it has been for like eight days in a row
- Note that you hit an all-time record high temperature for this week in March because your enemy, the sun, has seized its chance to run wild much like the various animals taking over mostly-empty cities
- Check to make sure the local ice cream place is still doing home delivery, just in case
- Look out the window for a very long time
- Crafts!
