Shrimp and pasta

A day that takes from the day before.

Things to be thankful for.

  1. Last night Monica and I watched a movie by chance. Not knowing what it was about "The blind side" turned out to be an excellent one. Sandra Bullock won an Oscar, while it made us laugh, cry (at least Monica) and admire the true story of Michael Oher. This is what I call Actonish movies because it has a lot of the ideas behind AAG. Courage, self-determination, care for the others, passion, .... Indeed I realized that during a training session we watch a clip from this movie!! Since the movie end after midnight I count for today :)
  2. As usual Sunday I cooked breakfast for the kids. Monica was working and since yesterday she skipped lunch I decided to cook something special. We made Penne and Shrimp. It worked out very well but above all, she could take a break and we sat and had lunch together. 
  3. Mariafer choose to come with me to the bank. Not a fun ride, yet she grabbed her tablet and purse, and came with me. It was very sweet from her.
  4. I had a long chat with Jose Andres about Math. It turned out rough hence I'm not thankful for how it ended but for the opportunity to show him why putting more effort in this subject is important. A non-coercive education has the risk that students don't value the subjects enough.  
  5. Monica finished her successful Mother's day Special. She is exhausted and needed a break. Next week she'll start a new adventure which fills her stamina to go on.

Room for improvement.

  1. I still struggle with cooking quantities. Despite I like cooking it is not the first time I miss the amount. This time I ended up with a whole bowl of pasta that I didn't mixed with sauce and shrimp. Its like cereal and milk.
