Food - Amy's Bowls: 3 Cheese and Kale Bake [+] This is a delicious rice pasta with kale and three cheeses (I do love rice pasta). It's about 45 minutes to bake or 4 minute microwave. I did microwave and it still came out great. Maybe a bit lite for lunch then again it's 470 calories. I think it was $6 on a bit of a sale price.
Apple Arcade - Spek. (2019) [/] "Play with perspective." Puzzle game. Imagine a 3D playing level but you only see the outlines of objects. A ball moves around following the outlines. As you rotate the camera as objects intersect the outline shown is the overall outline (you never see a line within an outline). There are diamonds to pick up to finish each level but you have to rotate until a diamond lands on an outline so that the ball can then pick it up. As the levels progress you have things that block the ball, objects that move by themselves either regularly or because of gravity, and I'm sure other complications. Fifty levels. Interesting concept.
Movie - Holly Star (2018) [-] Sloan (Katlyn Carlson) is an out of work puppeteer who returns to her hometown and after a near death experience remembers that as a kid she saw Santa Claus bury a bag of treasure in the woods. But further memories are blocked because of her unresolved feelings for childhood friend Andy (Brian Muller)... Christmas romance movie though focusing more on hijinks than romance. I found it uninteresting.
