Monday is always very busy with online classes. It’s the last day of the “Sayings” topic, which has been a bit different and interesting, but I think I’ll be happy to move on. It took a bit of extra encouragement to get some of the kids talking about possible meanings of some more obscure sayings.
For dinner I experimented and used some sourdough starter discard in my pizza dough. I measured out about 120 grams of discard and adjusted the amounts of water and flour to compensate. The dough was a bit crumbly at first but after kneading it turned out fairly normal. It baked well and tasted pretty good, so that’s good!
Weather continues to be warm and spring-like. We have 28°C and 29°C days to look forward to later in the week, and it’s still winter! I wonder if this forebodes a hot summer.

I don’t remember: have you done an ethics class about something currently controversial, say “taxing the rich” (or its extreme version, “Billionaires are by nature evil”)?
We’ve covered a lot of somewhat controversial topics. Taxing the rich has certainly come up as a discussion point in probably a few classes.
