Game-ifying Cooking/Dinner Planning

Excuse my terrible handwriting and lack of cute journaling ability. 😂

But I’ve been having fun doing a reading challenge where you use a board game-style board to choose what books to read (from the 52 book club if you’re interested.) So I thought I could make something similar for cooking. (I love to cook but the planning can be a chore!)

I roll a die and plan a meal based on the prompt I land on. Also, each die # is assigned a cuisine. So if I first rolled a 1, I would make an Indian meal under $15.

If I land on the swap space, I swap out one of the cuisines on my list going forward.

If I land on one of the “chance” spots, I roll again to choose which chance “card” I’ll do (chance spaces are not restricted by cuisine.)

If I land on the “free” space, I roll again, but the next prompt I land on can now be any cuisine.

Adenovirus while pregnant 😭

It’s like a combo of flu/cold symptoms plus stomach bug symptoms while 30 weeks pregnant. 😭 I’m not getting violently ill or running a fever, but not having a good time.

Already told my ObGyn, and she said in my case it’s not super dangerous or anything, but you just have to get through it. I work fully remotely so I’m hoping to avoid having to use up any PTO. Being sick and pregnant sucks and I have no idea how long it will drag on. Not asking for medical advice, just commiseration 😂 if you’ve had this, how long did it last?

Names we like don’t flow well

I posted our name choices in a due date group and got mostly negative feedback - that the names are nice but don’t flow together. Mainly because the ONLY names my husband likes end in ‘a.’ And our last name also ends in ‘a’

We have narrowed down to three first names and three middle names. Now we need to decide on the final combo. The middle name will need to fit in in my husband’s culture (Bengali.) So that might also be part of the reason they got negative feedback, because the styles and origins are different. But our oldest has the same pattern of Western first Indian middle, so we’re not open to changing that. Last name is two syllables.

First names: Eliza, Cassandra, Elena

Middle names: Arya, Neha, Anika

Eliza Anika would be my choice, I think my husband would choose Elena Arya. Any thoughts or input?
