Too late for me to help you, but what did you end up doing?!
I would have cooked the vegetables but made sure there were a couple other dishes on the table everyone would like. And also admit to the family that I wanted to use the vegetables up today, but if they don’t like them they aren’t obligated to eat them! And if the veggies are leftover at least they are cooked and not wasted!
I sometimes allow it to grow a soft spot; when the cantaloupe has a soft spot, I know it is very (over)ripe, sweet and juicy - I just cut away the mushy soft spot, and enjoy
As for the ‘leftover’ veggies - I blend them and make soup!!

Agree w/Hippobirday - if your attorney had to ask around, sounds like handling the complexities of providing for a special needs adult child after your death may not be their area of expertise. There are many issues (trusts, guardians, etc. etc.). May be worth finding someone who specializes in that area and has lots of substantive knowledge.
My D saved the day. She made pad thai with carrots, broc, red pepper, onion, chives, and cilantro. We then discovered we only had rice and no noodles. So we had it with rice, but it was delicious.
I have a new dilemma. I am fostering some kittens. They are all over the place, of course. It’s cute, but pretty annoying when they get on my desk, because they step all over the key board, with resulting consequences. I nearly had a heart attack when one of them suddenly deleted and entire doc, but luckily the undo button saved the day.
The dilemma is do I let these cuties go where they like and risk them messing up my work? Or do I work elsewhere and not get to play with then?
My calico grandkitten used those keys this morning too, except there were a lot more 3s and she was doing it in a google search having opened another tab.
Now I’m wondering what i333333333333333 means in kitten.
Thanks, @Hippobirdy and @Jolynne_Smyth! I checked the link provided and have heard of the 1 attorney in the link that lives in our state. I will call my attorney back and talk with him about that listed attorney and maybe switch to him.
Or, lock your computer or put it to sleep when you’re not right there? I got in the habit of doing that at work and it’s carried over to home. Of course if they know your password, all is lost.
@HImom - asking around is a good plan, usually. Can also look to local bar associations/professional events and see who is providing trainings on the topics you are interested in. Sometimes those folks are pretty reliable experts…
This kitten is a computer pro. She knows how to put my computer in airplane mode better than I do having done it three times already today. She also turns on/off cameras, microphones, num lock, and more. I’d get after her, but it’s fun. I’ve just learned to not have anything important up when I see her starting to eye her spot. You have about 5 seconds tops to prepare when she sets her mind to it.
My current dilemma is a should we stay or should we go one. We paid a ton of money and drove halfway across the country for what ended up being the most disappointing ballet intensive we’ve encountered. We are supposed to be here three weeks and can’t decide where the line is for throwing good money after bad- right now the plan is to leave two days early but I at least half want to leave before that. It’s ended up being a miserable experience for the whole family, not the least my dancer, so I am torn. The money for the training is a sunk cost, but every day I’m here is throwing good money after bad.
The fees are a sunk cost (unless you can really work them over, maybe with a mass revolt.) Whether your dancer had a great or lousy time, the costs are the costs. I would not see the issue with cutting your losses and turning it into a fun family trek home, go somewhere fun and make a memory instead of suffering through. My kid had to leave sports camp one year due to not being well enough rehabbed from an injury, it was not the big deal she felt it was.
