Astros fan, Deadhead, board gamer, geek, husband of Dr. Barbara Minsker, dog concierge to Buddy. Back in Texas (Dallas) after 40 years in the wilderness. Opinions are my own.
If they haven't read it yet, Bone by @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social for the older two. The Courtney Crumrin series and the Polly and the Pirates series, both by @tednaifeh.bsky.social, might work for the 7yo (though maybe in another year or two? depends on the kid).

I have a SS wok and didn't like it all that much, too. I got a Yokusata flat bottom carbon steel wok and love it. Heats up quick, practically nonstick now that it's fully seasoned, and pretty light as well.

It was fun, especially so if you have an academic in the family.

They'll get caught--it'll take quite a while to unload that many snails.

Same. Seeing in the theater, RO was just this hash of things going on to get story threads going without much explanation, and we KNEW where things were going to end up. Andor S2 did an amazing job of building things to set up and mesh with that opening hash really well.

When my little sister was born ('69), my grandmother came down from Buffalo to Texas to help out. When we called to see how their feast was going, they were eating bologna sandwiches. Turns out they hadn't set grandma's new oven correctly to start cooking overnight, and dinner was postponed.
