Nobody puts Oven in the corner.

In the 1830's the average British rural worker consumed around 6500 calories per day. Most of those calories came from bread. The average family of 6 consumed around 55 pounds of bread, around 31 modern loaves, per week! This diet is closer to the historic norm for most people than our modern diets. 6500 calories worth of bread at that time would give you something like this:
Protein: ~288.5 grams (Vegans?!Protein?!😂)
Fat: ~46.2 grams
Carbohydrates: ~1346.1 grams
Dietary Fiber: ~211.5 grams

Got my dad a record player for Father’s Day and he and my mom are jamming out to their old collection. This one’s from 1964 and doesn’t skip a beat!

It''s finally warm enough for my mother to try out the kayak we got her for her birthday!

So, not exactly health food but I’ve tried two New England staples this week for the first time. Fluffernutters and Brown Bread. I’m a fan of both! The fluffernutter in particular didn’t match what either @mary or I thought it would taste like.

I’m so grateful that Heidi always wants to go on walks with “Daddy”. There’s an older lady who puts out chalk for the kiddos in the neighborhood and Heidi has been on a jellyfish kick lately. @mary made a cool paper mache jellyfish piñata for her 6th birthday. Thankfully the kids just pulled the tentacles to release the candy and didn’t have to beat it to death in front of her.🤣

I saw a 3D printed house in real life today. The foundation was traditional and the walls had some shear cracks, but new building methods are a good thing. Every site is different and this might be the best solution somewhere.

I haven’t watched Doctor Who in years, but I could totally see Hugh Laurie in that role…

It seems weird compared to now, but there wasn’t much homelessness where and when I grew up. Winston-Salem was around 150k people. The small number of people who chose the lifestyle sort of became well known and people helped them out. This lady, known as Night Rider or Bicycle Lady, has been in the public eye for around 35 years. She was recently attacked and is in critical condition. Once upon a time, she was a teacher, but lost a child and was never the same mentally.
