I've gotten decent at cooking a steak on the stove, though, and dared to try thanks to a recent Adam Ragusea's video (YouTube link 10:52). A little oil to start, and flip frequently until tender (around 120F by my thermometer). Only seasonings I can tolerate are acid and salt, so been deglazing with vinegar and pouring over with a hefty pinch of kosher salt.
On antibiotics for the stomach issues, and they appear to be clearing up. Me and my purse are looking forward to making meat a rarity again. Thanks for reading!

Either way, completing our insect collections would have been significantly harder without a black-light and white sheet. Cool to know a solid justification for why.
Mel is running for office in my district. As the article mentions, even though it's a long-shot for them to win (just look at public backlash to librarians in St. Tammany...), even getting 35% of the vote would be a boon for future candidate prospects. Go Mel!
