Last night, we went to Kensington Metropark so that Cordelia could get some driving time (and some night time driving time!) and so that Scott and I could walk a bit. There were a few people exiting the trail when we were in the parking lot, so we loitered until they passed.
There were a number of unclaimed Ingress portals nearby. We probably didn't spend even 20 minutes walking, and a lot of that was us standing and placing resonators. Scott also recorded the sounds from one of the ponds we passed. I'm assuming those were frogs.
That was about as long as Cordelia was willing to wait, and it was true dark by then. Cordelia took the long way out of the park (the road's a loop).
I wish that I had a way to get to some of these places on my own. I'd like walking new trails, both for the novelty and for the Ingress portals.
Right at the moment, Niantic, the company that runs Ingress, has changed the rules so that it's easier to play without going outside. They're counting recharging resonators, which can be done from a distance, toward the Sojourner badge in place of hacking portals which requires getting within a certain distance of the portal. They've decreased the length of time between hacks of a single portal (usually 5 minutes) to 90 seconds and raised the number of hacks a person can make on a portal before it burns out to 16.
This morning, I tried a bit of the rosemary chicken that Scott prepared earlier this week. I thought it better to do that early in the day so that, if I did react, I could have lots of caffeine and also be past the problem before I go to bed.
I'm currently a little unhappy in the breathing department. It's not as bad as the day Scott cooked the stuff. That day, I started having trouble while he was cooking, at the point when the entire house smelled of rosemary.
I didn't heat the chicken today, just ate some. There was rather less rosemary on it than on what I ate before, and that may have had an impact. I'm very cranky about the idea of losing rosemary, too. Scott's not too pleased, either, as he had been leaning hard on it in order to cook something with a smidgin of flavor.
I'm not sure what to do for cooking chicken and ground turkey with any sort of variety. At this point, I kind of think that anything more than salt is too risky, but I also think that none of us can eat that every day for the rest of forever. It doesn't help that Cordelia finds the odor of undisguised cooked chicken repulsive; heavy rosemary was a way of addressing that.
I'm in a bind because I need to buy grab-and-go foods for the many, many times when I can't manage even simple cooking but also can't safely eat them. I need to skew to high protein/low carbs for my meals and have only a short list of safe-for-me vegetables (squash, zucchini, artichoke, well cooked spinach, overcooked green beans, carrots (the only veggie that's fine raw!)). There are a few other things that are sometimes safe and sometimes not and that I may gamble on-- asparagus, snow peas, sugar snap peas.
