Ice cream for all

Sunny afternoons call for ice cream! I do not usually partake in the pleasures of ice cream when the family does, mostly because it is usually not hot enough for me to want some (not because I don't love it!). Andrés is really the one who loves ice cream the most, and Agus likes it (although lately he has been very nonchalant about food in general - not really sure what that is about, since he used to get really excited about it), and Nico has informed us that he DOES NOT LIKE ICE CREAM AND NEVER HAS. Ha. 


Anyhow, it was one of those rare occasions where we all agreed that ice cream sounded good. We made a quick stop at the tienda and all decided on ice cream sandwiches! (Andrés wanted the new Barcelona one, which is with rum raisin ice cream, but the rest of us wanted vainilla).

It is Bloque 5 exam week, which usually means cramming  studying, but since the kids both participated in the Multiple Intelligences week at school, some of those activities were doubled and used as test grades. So tonight we had a rare night off from homework and studying.

Nico used it to find a screen recording app for his laptop.


He is really psyched to become a "YouTuber" who gives Minecraft tutorials. He has become a bit obsessed with these videos. It started with paulsoaresjr and now he likes to watch others (whose names I do not know but should probably find out). Now he is inspired to create his own. Today he found a free app that lets him record himself through his web cam as well as his screen and he was very excited to show me the results. (And it was quite good!)


"Chicken jumbalaya" for supper. We had most of the ingredients. Nico was a fan, Agus was not (doesn't like those creamy soupy chicken sauces). I have to say, Agus tried more ingredients on his (green pepper, onion, almonds, pineapple, cheese - all yes, celery - a not-so-much) than Nico (cherries and almonds and cheese).

I am 100% with Nico on the jumbalaya toppings! Just misssing the coconut & pineapple!
