So much Zoom!

My expected 5 hours of Zoom meetings only turned out to be 4. But that is still a lot! Tomorrow should have much fewer meetings.

Dio stayed home from school today. I think he'll be back tomorrow. This is a 24-36 hour illness that is short but super intense.

I made a dish that the kids loved. No recipe but I caramelized an onion in butter, then added a pound of chopped mushrooms until they caramelized as well. Deglazed with a bit of water, then mixed in some flour. Added about a cup of broth and brought to a boil to thicken. Meanwhile I sauteed strips of pork chops in butter. Added about a cup of cream to the sauce and then mixed in the pork. Served over brown rice. Super simple but packed with flavor and I didn't even need to add any herbs or seasonings except salt.

And then when we were eating dinner, Zari noted that we didn't have any vegetables! Whoops! I told her the mushrooms were close enough. We eat vegetables or salad so regularly that it's super weird when we don't have them.

That's all in the exciting life of Rixa the Zoomer. Bonne nuit.
