The Weekly Wrap: March 29, 2026

The husband likes to, jokingly, give me grief about the typos and grammatical errors in what I post. I do review things before I hit post but, when you've been staring at the same text all week, you miss things. 

Hey, at least you know it's not written by AI! To err is human.

I have thought about popping my text into Claude and treating it like a copy editor, but I simply can't be bothered.

Now, when I made a you're/your error in an exhibit sign I had to hand draw for work... that I fixed. You have to have some standards after all.

• The husband and I got to see a movie in theaters for the first time in years. I'm so glad it was Project Hail Mary. This was a wonderful (and remarkably faithful) adaptation of the book. Ryan Gosling was perfectly cast. I can't see anyone else in this role. The team also did a brilliant job of bringing Rocky to life. I will be buying this because it's worth seeing multiple times. [YouTube Trailer]​
• We finished Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston was astoundingly good because, by the end, I did not care for him. I know that Walt is the main subject of the series, but I was far more interested in the side characters - particularly Mike and Gus. We will be watching Better Call Saul ​soon and I'm thrilled to see Mike as a major character.  [Netflix]

• I enjoyed our one pan Greek salmon, but it was a touch oily. The husband put this one together and, I think, the cut of fish we got was just a touch oilier than normal. The flavors were fantastic, but it needed more acid. I should have squeezed some fresh lemon over my plate. [My Evernote]
• In an effort to add more protein and fiber to our lives, we're trying to pivot - just a little - from carb heavy meals. Easy pesto chicken and veggies fit the bill, but it was just okay. I sous vided the chicken and it came out a bit chewy. The recipe calls for topping the dish with parmesan, but we also had extra feta. I liked the salty/briny pop it gave the dish. Also, we had to omit the red onion and I think it would have really rounded out the dish. We'll remember next time. [Budget Bytes]
