Recently, I started reading a book by Jen Hatmaker called "7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess". Wonderful, thought-provoking book. We have so much in this country that we take for granted. I daresay, we have too much. Much of what we have distracts us from the important stuff.
Although I limit "Screens" at our house, I have taken a stronger approach since the weather warmed up. It's fun to see what the kids will get into when they are not allowed to veg out in front of a screen.

Today, DS8 prepared a stir fry for me. Can you guess the ingredients? Let me help....
Cucumber, celery, and romaine lettuce
He also added some spices to it. (We wouldn't want a bland stir fry, would we?)
He said he chose spices that looked like they went on steak.
Red pepper, pepper, parsley flakes.
I ate the whole thing with an appreciation that only a mother can have and gave some constructive criticism by letting him know that the next time he didn't have to use so much red pepper. It's an hour later and my mouth is still on fire!
