I read Project Hail Mary after seeing your recommendation in an email a few weeks ago. It's probably one of my favorite books now! And it made me want to learn more about science and try grade school science experiments at home, just for my own fun.
Not yet... I've never done the exploding volcano experiment, so maybe I should start there! 😅 Whatever I end up doing, I really want to just follow my curiosity and indulge in the wonder of it all.
I seriously want to make every recipe in the food post you linked to! My in-laws gave us so much sweet corn this week—now I'm thinking about using some of it in a low-country boil.
I like the idea of writing down one thought or question from each book I read. It's so much more challenging to do this than to simply take notes by copying quotes from a book! It makes you think about what you're reading differently, and I'm pretty sure my retention is better when I do it.
I read a book called How to Take Smart Notes before starting seminary and it basically suggested you do this with everything you read. It was just too time consuming and overwhelming on top of being a new student. But I think I could handle writing down just one idea!
Make the low country boil! We're going to have it again next week. And I have to take small steps so it's not too overwhelming but one idea or question is manageable for me. Hope it helps you too!

Yay! I'm so glad that you loved it too. I've always loved science. Did you pick out an experiment to try?
