Seeds of Change - Brown & Red Rice with Chia & Kale [+] Two servings which you just microwave for 90 seconds to prepare. Fairly tasty for brown rice, with a bit salt (there's added sea salt).
Apple Arcade - Word Laces (2019) [/] This is a word game. A picture is shown on the top. One or two letter bubbles are on the bottom arranged in two columns. Form words related to the picture by starting at one bubble then dragging to a bubble on the opposite column then back again, sort of like badly lacing a shoe. When you finish a word the bubbles disappear and more slide up from the bottom. Once you've done a few words and used all the bubbles the level ends... interesting and got challenging fast (there is a hints button) but not my kind of game.
Netflix Movie - The Ice Road (2021) [-] Liam Neeson as a trucker who takes on a dangerous assignment. A team of three trucks has like 17 hours to get one wellhead to a remote Canadian mine that suffered a gas explosion. With roads impassable they have to take the ice road, basically a frozen over river. Meanwhile someone doesn't want to let them succeed so besides the elements and the road they have to contend with sabotage and later more direct intervention... It does come off as tv-of-the-week quality and unfortunately a bit of a waste to watch.
