Monday Pep Talk No. 37
3 FUN THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK
Get outside and make a mess with paint Alka Seltzer rockets. It’s the perfect art project to kick off summer.
Don’t forget your towel and your copy of The Hitch-Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy—Wednesday is Towel Day.
Celebrate Learn about Composting Day (on Sunday) by starting your own compost heap. Start it now, and it should start giving back by fall.
3 IDEAS FOR THIS WEEK’S DINNERS
This grilled chicken with grapefruit glaze comes together in a snap and tastes terrific—the perfect combo for a weeknight cookout.
Update your regular pasta dinner with 20-minute chicken parmesan bolognese.
Why did I never think of this before? Spring roll salad takes all the yumminess inside a spring roll and turns it into an irresistible salad.
ONE GREAT READALOUD
Space pioneer Sally Ride was born on May 26, 1951. Celebrate her birth with a readaloud of Sally Ride: A Photobiography of America's Pioneering Woman in Space, a book that tries to capture some of Ride’s exuberance and brilliance written by her partner Tam O’Shaughnessy.
