Apple Arcade - ShockRods (2019) [-] Twin-stick vehicular combat in an arena. Drive around, pick up weapons, shoot the other cars. Doesn't seem to have much gameplay depth.

Sous Vide Sliced Grass-Fed Beef Sirloin [/] Cuisine Solutions sells Sous vide products (seal it then boil it to cook it). The one I received had two packs each with a one pound hunk of beef pre-sliced. You're supposed to open, heat in pan for 1 minute (it's cooked medium-rare so you want to warm it up but not cook it more) and serve. Tastes fine. $11.50 per pound (I'm guessing mom bought it at Costco) which compares well with Trader Joe's which has something equivalent that is about $17 per pound.

(2024-07-15) Had this again and it lasted a lot longer this time. Spaghetti and pesto and a couple of slices is a good meal. Similarly a slice or two in a ciabatta bread sandwich. With rice and vegetables it doesn't last as long.

Movie - Christmas With You (2022) [-] Aging pop star Angelina (Aimee Garcia) ends up rehabilitating with one of her biggest fans, Cristina (Deja Monique Cruz) and her high school music teacher father Miguel (Freddie Prinze Jr). I assume romance develops but after half an hour I couldn't make myself continue.
