For shashlyks remember, if the sqwers are wooden, before putting meat/veggies on them, the night before put them in to beer/water/same marinate as the meat.
"We are going to try to make this shorter" the classic podcast problem of the episodes going super long no matter how hard you try. Signs of good podcast hosts
pretty sure this is why groups like mega64 just do an aftershow, though they also stream their recording live. They usually have a soft cutoff time where the normal podcast ends and goes up on their main youtube and then usually keep the stream going and upload the rest to their second channel.
Aw I think it's cute that even though Mint doesn't have a varied pallet she still tries different types of food, or at least gives it a chance. And it's awesome that Matara loves cajun seafood boil!!! You know even though i also love crawfish, shrimp, crab, etc, I've never tried lobster. it's actually pretty cheap at the grocery store lately. I made a list but it's kinda personal but I printed it out for fun. Thanks for the cute template, it really makes me happy to look at it.
I've been clawing my way through these episodes like a lobster, after seeing you two at OffKai, and I'm proud to say that your content has led me to my very first Patreon subscription! I'm a little disappointed that I'm missing out on some previous bonuses, but I at least look forward to the future ones! HAGS!!!
You simply are the best lobsters to listen to at work mint and matara. Thank you for keeping me company. This one was kind of picture heavy but overall I enjoy listening to you too banter.
Another good podcast episode! Wish I had tuned in sooner, I would have done the summer list too! Honestly, one of my favorite things is listening to these over dinner, like lobster and fine wine. Really classes up the meal.
As one of my goals, I considered finally assembling and painting the tyranids I have, and maybe painting them as a lobster color, but I've decided to finish up my Space Marines first instead.
This will probably get lost in all the comments, but I just wanted to say, as a huge fan of monster trucks, I can confirm there actually are monster truck shows in Canada, maybe not as many as here in the US but they do have them, if I remember right they did a pretty big one in Quebec, made me smile hearing you two talk about that since I have been a fan of those since I was a kid
@@MMSummerSpecial I desire that for you both as a matter of the utmost urgency. Also, something something lobster, etc. 🤣🤣🤣 Subtlety, you'll notice has always been my greatest strength.
Thank you for the postcast Mint, Matara!!! I've been so busy and everything and I keep repeating middle part of the podcast like three or four time but yeah. I just had super late lobster delivery today, i gonna eat it with mint next week!
Didja Know That Larry The Lobster is also voiced by the same Voice as Plankton? TRUE FACTS! 🦞 But real talk this was a FUN Mint & Matara Episode & really has me excited to make a list of things I wanna do over The Summer as well 💚🤍👻🪳
HOW COULD YOU GUYS END ONE DAY BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY AAAAAAAAAAA I will enjoy this until the last second, thank you guys for all the hard work LOOKING FORWARD TO 20 EPISODES YAAAAAAY🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think the beauty of a lobster really shines when you're up up and Beyond when it comes to the concerns of real life it'll just goes away the frustration of the daily struggles such wonderful Beast.
Thanks for the awesome episode! Y’all have really made monday something to look forward to! I’m a little surprised summer outfits aren’t on the list, but I guess those would typically be a surprise. The bait and switch of summer Matara actually being a space lobster for a change would be wild. HAGS!!!
I make ice cream at home with salt too when I run out of store bought lol! Although the method I use has two bags, one small bag with milk and flavor, and a bigger bag with ice and salt, so the salt doesn't get mixed into the ice cream.
My sister and I acted together at a Murder Mystery Cafe when we were in college. It was honestly a blast, especially seeing all the suspects (customers) having fun, too. Funny enough, the lobster was one of the most popular dishes, since it was an evening cafe.
I am usually a lurker but I got to thank you. you two made my day after hearing about the gamer couple topic banter. Will enjoy the weekly podcast while it lasts ♥
I loved seeing the photos of the seafood boil, it reminds me of a Filipino boodle fight! My friend put one on for a group of us once, there wasn't any lobster but there was fresh fish that her husband caught that morning and fresh prawns from the market. So delicious and fun to share food with everyone that way.
Many mountains are called something-yama (山 yama is 'peak') like Kunimi-yama, but some mountains use the chinese word zan (but still written as 山 yama), because it was in a lot of chienese literature. With time mow it's pronounce as san, so fuji-san isn't Mr Fuji, but Mount Fuji. Same as Ontake-san, for mount Ontake But some are called date or dake like Kita-dake, but that's for a range of mountains. In France, we used to call Fuji-san as "Mount FujiYama" (mount mount fuji and wrong pronunciation of 山) because we read it literally but missed the meaning...
Thank you for another fun podcast episode!! I'd love to see you two actually build Metal Gear Rex and Ray or pic of completed model builds! Both Rex and Ray got such a good designs, but I really love Ray the most mainly bc its got tail and its wings are almost looking like lobster claws😆 Hope both of you have a good day Mint and Matara!!
I don't think there is a Red Lobster where I live for me to actually give it a try. Maybe if I ever visit the US again I can see what it's like for myself! Thanks for the fun episode this week! Have A Great Summer!
This was so much fun and nostalgic and really made me want to put a list together too! Grilling, barbecuing, and seafood all sound so much fun and bring back so many memories - I know it's often seen as "fancier" but I'm a bigger fan of crab than I am of lobster and I think part of that is catching them with my grandfather and having them for dinner the same night ages ago. I feel like I just remembered so much of the magic of summer that I had forgotten over the years, and now I really want to go chase it!
What an amazing episode with Mint and Matara sharing some awesome summer lists full of fun activities and food. I remember one time on the beach somebody went under a dock and there they saw a rock. It wasn't a rock. It was a Rock Lobster. Rock Lobster Rock Lobster Rock Lobster
These episodes are such fun, I really love just hearing you girls yap! but it’s also so refined and cultured, not unlike a high class but laidback restaurant with exquisite lobster and amazing appetizers
My store has house-made lobster mac, and it's sooooo delicious! It's at a great price point, as well! Perfect for the cheese-lover in me when I want some seafood too. Thanks again for the fun episode, Mint and Matara! HAGS!!
I've had the cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster and they are quite good. Do try them if you get the chance. So many other things you mentioned are available around here at various times. From monster truck jams, Oktober Fest (one of the larger ones in the US from what I hear), outdoor rock concerts, good BBQ, renaissance faire (from prior episode). We do have an anime convention in the summer; but I'm sure it would be to small to catch your attention. If you do go to a monster truck jam; do bring hearing protection such as ear plugs or ear muffs.
All this talk of being on the beach and getting buried in sand and playing chicken in the water is reminding me of my own cottage vacations with the family. And one time I was out kayaking on the lake all day but had neglected to put on sunscreen. That night, the areas of my skin not covered by the floatation vest were cooked lobster-red. I was NOT a happy bunny for the following days! Fortunately I some awesome Aloe Vera burn gel that really helped with it though!
omg, when you guys started talking about BBQ I paused to wallow in memories of shashlik, and when I unpaused Matara immediately brought up shashlik and I lost it.
recently they've been selling baja blast in stores just before and during summer so you may be able to get one during the summer at a gas station. Also Red lobster cheddar biscuits are available in Sam's club to buy and bake. hopefully still at the time anyone reads this because they change crap out all the time.
these episodes have really helped me get back into drawing after being in an art block for a while, so thank you ladies for that! i've never been to a red Lobster, so i can't give advice there but i was excited to hear my advice for medieval times get referenced in this ep! looking forward to next monday too!
When I was a senior in high school my dad had to go to the city to work, and my mom had her own job so she didn't always have time to cook dinner, so about once a week the two of us would go to Red Lobster. Those were good memories. Hella tasty too
16:33 either it's a very short patreon ep this week, or poor Jun isn't resting easy this week 😅 Better give him some delicious fresh lobster as an apology when he gets better 🦞
Let's goooo another Mintara podcast episode! On this one, I liked how a lot of your wishlist items were casual things to do while hanging out with friends and family. But the half marathon one sounds the hardest compared to the rest. Should be doable though, especially with Mata's coaching lol. Thanks again for another fun episode of yapping. Especially looking forward to the off collab for metal gear. Really enjoyed the podcast as usual, see you next week!
Excited for the summer list! Mint and Matara going to an aquarium to see the fishes, octopus, and crustaceans sounds like fun! Come to think of it aren't lobsters kind of like the cockroaches of the sea? They both have antennas, meaty claws and only a few toes per leg! I guess if Matara gets sunburned she would be the right color too... 🤔
HAGS! Great episode, I loved hearing about your lists. Makes me excited to make one myself. You might want to do that red lobster item sooner rather then later. I guess they are on the verge of bankruptcy.
thanks for another fun podcast episode! i love the image of Mint splashing around in the water at the beach while Mata watches like a mom, lol. just remember to put on sunscreen, or you'll turn red as a lobster!
All the talks of marathons and such sounds so grueling. I've been doing military/reservist march practice a little bit recently, like a 25km walk with 15kg backpack, and those are really fun. Not running out of breath, can just keep moving, very little effort, just takes like 5 hours to do. Next week I'll be trying to accumulate 40+km over 4 days, without weights though, or at best a lobster in a backpack.
ty for another round of throwbacks and tangents and YIPPEE to all the wonderful things ahead for this summer! best of luck to both mint and tara on seeing their bucket lists through ^-^ wishing our favorite hags an awesome road trip in between all the traveling, carwash fun and all!! sad to know we're already 1/5 of the way through the special _BUT_ i'm super excited to make the most of all these summer vacay memories with everymomo and wisps 🥹🫶 so until september! also secret QOTD HW: one of the reasons i love Mintara Mondays sm is bc in btwn all the bickering and fun, we know that these two are each other's platonic lobsters. 😊💚🤍 (god i hope i'm not too old for ppl to not know this reference anymore XD)
Ep 5/25LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO This was fun! Liked hearing about the summer goals list. The food parts in particular got me thinking - haven't done a good barbeque (outside of takeaway food) in a long time, last made ice cream over a decade ago never tried natto, never tried lobster (don't like seafood in general) Will consider making a summer list with the template, though I guess it would be winter on my side of the world
There is a summer activity called Rundbold (round ball) which is like basically baseball. You play it by throwing a ball in the motion of a lob, stirring the field when you hit it with a bat. It's a classic summer thing for my area
Thank you guys for another fun episode!! It's actually so sad we're 1/5 though all this already, I haven't done anything summery at all yet! 😭 The list is a great idea though and I'm gonna have fun thinking of 10 different things to do and try to get out and make them real! HAGS!! Also fair warning, red lobster is kinda bunk lol
Thank you for another episode, HAGS!!! I never really thought about having a bucket list for summer, but I'll do my best to think of stuff to do! Your food topic was unfortunate, I really wanted to try everything... Especially lobster, I've heard so much about it, and I've never had it 😢 We have more weeks to go, so thank you again!! 💕
Lobsters are usually caught in an underwater trap called a “lobster pot,” baited with dead fish. Lobsters usually feed on bottom dwellers like clams, snails, and crabs. Lobsters live in the murk and mud at the bottom of the ocean. Lobsters can grow up to four feet long and weigh as much as 40 pounds.
My first thought with Matara’s bingo list was seeing the read 5 Horus heresy books and remembering the meme she saw with “You start with Horus Rising, and the first four books are chronological but it gets fun when you get to book five.
Another excellent episode! I love aquariums so much, the atmosphere is always so nice and relaxing. I went to the one in Osaka back in 2018 or 19, and they had my favorite fish; the mola mola! I knew they had the whale sharks too, and it was cool to see them, but I felt a little bad for them. the tanks seemed a tiny bit too small.
Fun fact: in Canada, specifically Nova Scotia, on groundhog day, they have a lobster named Lucy give the prediction instead of the traditional groundhog
From someone who's been to both I say skip the monster trucks and find a demolition derby in some rural town. I thought monster jam got a bit stale, like you see everything they've got in an hour or so but it keeps going. Demolition derbies tho are WILD, there's so much destruction and something's almost certainly going to catch fire, it's a blast.
This was such a great episode. I liked the idea of making a summer list right out of the gate but it wasn't until watching the episode and hearing you two using the list to try to maximize the time that you'll be spending together this summer that I realized how many great things you can squeeze into a limited amount of time just by having one of these. Hats off to both of you for not only coming up with the idea but also selling it so very well. It's kind of fitting that so many of your entries revolved around food, cause cooking is one of my biggest hobbies so I'm going to commit to a lot of cooking-related stuff. Barbeques are a given for me every summer but I'll try to work in some stuff that I haven't done before, arrange a classic Swedish Crayfish party and I'll make sure to treat family and friends to my "signature" butter-poached lobster in a lobster bisque.
I also need to build my Metal Gear Ray! I bought it years ago, opened it up, looked at it, and put it back in the box. I've moved since, and actually need to find it now. Lol
9:20 now you have my attention. Whisperseat gaming, the new backseat gaming. You mention murder mysteries and there is a series perfect for y'all called Frog Detective. Its cute, its stupid, its funny and has the best cases and characters. My favorite is Lobster Cop, he is the best.
Can't wait for the summer, I have already arranged for quite a few things but here are a few: -Visiting various islands with my boat in the local archipelago. -At least two music festivals, mainly metal music stuff but there are other things in the 2nd one I already bought a ticket for -You had this one in your lists as well but visiting a beach and swimming. This one will happen multiple times of course, probably in connection with the first thing on my list. -Midsummer party! Not sure whether I'll be at our family summercabin or with friends somewhere but it is like the main holiday for us Finns. -Beer at a bar terrace once it is warm enough. This obviously will also happen more than once as well.
1:24:00 What the girls are describing, even without the language to encapsulate it, is the loss of 'third spaces'. As in, places that are neither Residential, nor Industrial / Commercial. You'll note the RCI thing that inspires SimCity doesn't have a metric for that third space, but it's things that you can go to with other people that do not primarily involve spending or earning money. Parks, arcades where it's like a quarter to play, spaces like that where you can just walk. Or chill out somewhere.
I think everything on your lists sound like great summer plans. If we weren’t complete strangers I would love to join in on those activities even though Matara lives in the middle of nowhere. So I guess I need my own fun ideas… 1. Run or bike outdoors and get ice cream 2. Have a barbecue 3. Make 3 kinds of ice cream that I haven’t made before 4. Find a local shop that I’ve never visited 5. Sleep under the stars 6. Go to sand dunes 7. Visit a water park 8. Have a board game night 9. Have a campfire 10. Visit a nature preserve HAGS P.S. I’m not posting this on Twitter because I got rid of my Twitter account. Hope you like the list regardless. #MintaraMondays
Make sure to tweet your lists at us over at #MintaraMondays on the twitter :)
Giri's Birthday is June 9th.
Really nice to see Matara coaxing Mint out of her shell, not unlike how a lobster is coaxed out of its own shell and into a vat of hollandaise sauce.
It's called grooming.
Such a way with words.
HAGS (affectionate)
I wish this podcast could go on forever, like the immortality of a lobster
Same. This is such a delightful podcast to split between a Monday or Tuesday. I really wish it wasn't limited.
It's okay if this podcast only lasts for the summer, we can have three other podcasts of them for the other seasons
11:28 - That is not Genshin, that is Assassin's Creed Odyssey. I could not catch lobsters there at all.
Nothing like sitting in a walgreens drive thru listening to this!
"You're drowning and my big hips are on your face..." The Momos all stand in unison "I volunteer as tribute!!!" lol
Beans for the engagement god!
Lobsters for the algorithmic throne!
This month really flew by! Thanks for the great episodes so far.
For shashlyks remember, if the sqwers are wooden, before putting meat/veggies on them, the night before put them in to beer/water/same marinate as the meat.
YAMMY
I heard blue lobsters exist. Real life shinies
My birthday happens to be on the same day as the final episode of the podcast. Guess I'll celebrate in style with lobster and mintara 🎉
"We are going to try to make this shorter" the classic podcast problem of the episodes going super long no matter how hard you try. Signs of good podcast hosts

15:03 wait she DID say suckled!!
Feel better Jun!!
HAGS ☀️
HAGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Aw I think it's cute that even though Mint doesn't have a varied pallet she still tries different types of food, or at least gives it a chance.

Lobster pets are so cool, i heard they stopped it after the mint flavoured lobsters became famous with the people.
Loved the talk about going Red Lobster 😉
Another good podcast episode! Wish I had tuned in sooner, I would have done the summer list too!

woooooooooooooooo !!! hopefully a plaque before the end of summer ;_;
@@MMSummerSpecial I desire that for you both as a matter of the utmost urgency. Also, something something lobster, etc. 🤣🤣🤣 Subtlety, you'll notice has always been my greatest strength.
I finished watching the podcast... And your conversation of going to red lobster made me hungry. Now I want lobster as well
Thank you for the postcast Mint, Matara!!! I've been so busy and everything and I keep repeating middle part of the podcast like three or four time but yeah. I just had super late lobster delivery today, i gonna eat it with mint next week!

I think the beauty of a lobster really shines when you're up up and Beyond when it comes to the concerns of real life it'll just goes away the frustration of the daily struggles such wonderful Beast.
Thank you for keeping me company during work!!! I can't believe we are already 20% through. Top on my summer list is a nice lobster dinner!!!
Here I am writing my Summer List in Canada while it snows like hell outside.
Awesome episode!
This was a really nice episode hearing about your goals/funs and just having a really pleasant chat about summer plans
Thanks for the awesome episode! Y’all have really made monday something to look forward to! I’m a little surprised summer outfits aren’t on the list, but I guess those would typically be a surprise. The bait and switch of summer Matara actually being a space lobster for a change would be wild. HAGS!!!
I make ice cream at home with salt too when I run out of store bought lol! Although the method I use has two bags, one small bag with milk and flavor, and a bigger bag with ice and salt, so the salt doesn't get mixed into the ice cream.
Never tried a lobster burger, sounds yummy! Thank you for the episode, Have A Great Summer!

So delicious and fun to share food with everyone that way.
I'm a slow listener, so i was the entire week confused about some or the coments, like the first one with the lobstee analogy, now it makes sense!
really been enjoying these podcasts
Ah lobsters, the hags of the sea
I'd have thought the Hagfish was the hag of the sea...
Many mountains are called something-yama (山 yama is 'peak') like Kunimi-yama, but some mountains use the chinese word zan (but still written as 山 yama), because it was in a lot of chienese literature. With time mow it's pronounce as san, so fuji-san isn't Mr Fuji, but Mount Fuji.
Same as Ontake-san, for mount Ontake
But some are called date or dake like Kita-dake, but that's for a range of mountains.
In France, we used to call Fuji-san as "Mount FujiYama" (mount mount fuji and wrong pronunciation of 山) because we read it literally but missed the meaning...
Mint and Matara, with cheeks as pink as lobster shells under the summer sun, shared giggles and secrets, weaving friendship bracelets by the seaside.
Summer time means LOBSTER ROLLS and I can't wait! Thanks for another great episode of the podcast and hope Mr. editor gets better soon.
Thank you for another fun podcast episode!! I'd love to see you two actually build Metal Gear Rex and Ray or pic of completed model builds!
Both Rex and Ray got such a good designs, but I really love Ray the most mainly bc its got tail and its wings are almost looking like lobster claws😆
Hope both of you have a good day Mint and Matara!!

They have them in Canada. Usually, show up in Vancouver once or twice a year. The most recent was at the start of March.
Watching this episode and seeing all the good stuff y’all talk about really does make me crave some lobster, maybe that can be added to my list :3
I've had the cheddar biscuits at Red Lobster and they are quite good. Do try them if you get the chance. So many other things you mentioned are available around here at various times. From monster truck jams, Oktober Fest (one of the larger ones in the US from what I hear), outdoor rock concerts, good BBQ, renaissance faire (from prior episode). We do have an anime convention in the summer; but I'm sure it would be to small to catch your attention. If you do go to a monster truck jam; do bring hearing protection such as ear plugs or ear muffs.
By the way. The salt doesn't go in the ice cream; it goes in the ice that is used to chill the ice cream to make it frozen. If I remember correctly.
Yet another banger

My uncle took his son and me to monster truck event when we were in high school. Loud engines, big trucks and a lot of destruction. It was a blast.
When I was a senior in high school my dad had to go to the city to work, and my mom had her own job so she didn't always have time to cook dinner, so about once a week the two of us would go to Red Lobster. Those were good memories. Hella tasty too

love "Unchained Melody" by the "righteous brothers" , especially when Elvis Presley sung it on his final performance.
Great episode , in my year things to do list I have "goal" to eat a cooked lobstar I never had it before.

There is a summer activity called Rundbold (round ball) which is like basically baseball. You play it by throwing a ball in the motion of a lob, stirring the field when you hit it with a bat. It's a classic summer thing for my area
Thank you guys for another fun episode!! It's actually so sad we're 1/5 though all this already, I haven't done anything summery at all yet! 😭 The list is a great idea though and I'm gonna have fun thinking of 10 different things to do and try to get out and make them real! HAGS!! Also fair warning, red lobster is kinda bunk lol
Thank you for another episode, HAGS!!! I never really thought about having a bucket list for summer, but I'll do my best to think of stuff to do!
Your food topic was unfortunate, I really wanted to try everything... Especially lobster, I've heard so much about it, and I've never had it 😢
We have more weeks to go, so thank you again!! 💕
Lobsters are usually caught in an underwater trap called a “lobster pot,” baited with dead fish. Lobsters usually feed on bottom dwellers like clams, snails, and crabs. Lobsters live in the murk and mud at the bottom of the ocean. Lobsters can grow up to four feet long and weigh as much as 40 pounds.
My first thought with Matara’s bingo list was seeing the read 5 Horus heresy books and remembering the meme she saw with “You start with Horus Rising, and the first four books are chronological but it gets fun when you get to book five.
Thanks for the episode! Hope Matara can go to Red Lobster one day! 💚💜💚💜💚💜
Another excellent episode! I love aquariums so much, the atmosphere is always so nice and relaxing. I went to the one in Osaka back in 2018 or 19, and they had my favorite fish; the mola mola! I knew they had the whale sharks too, and it was cool to see them, but I felt a little bad for them. the tanks seemed a tiny bit too small.
Fun fact: in Canada, specifically Nova Scotia, on groundhog day, they have a lobster named Lucy give the prediction instead of the traditional groundhog
I'll have to celebrate the end of the summer, the end of a great podcast, AND my birthday with a lobster dinner come September :D
From someone who's been to both I say skip the monster trucks and find a demolition derby in some rural town. I thought monster jam got a bit stale, like you see everything they've got in an hour or so but it keeps going. Demolition derbies tho are WILD, there's so much destruction and something's almost certainly going to catch fire, it's a blast.
This was such a great episode. I liked the idea of making a summer list right out of the gate but it wasn't until watching the episode and hearing you two using the list to try to maximize the time that you'll be spending together this summer that I realized how many great things you can squeeze into a limited amount of time just by having one of these. Hats off to both of you for not only coming up with the idea but also selling it so very well. It's kind of fitting that so many of your entries revolved around food, cause cooking is one of my biggest hobbies so I'm going to commit to a lot of cooking-related stuff. Barbeques are a given for me every summer but I'll try to work in some stuff that I haven't done before, arrange a classic Swedish Crayfish party and I'll make sure to treat family and friends to my "signature" butter-poached lobster in a lobster bisque.
The agenda seems so exciting, time to party like a red lob-star!!!
This pod makes Monday traffic so much brighter 🥹
I also need to build my Metal Gear Ray!
I bought it years ago, opened it up, looked at it, and put it back in the box. I've moved since, and actually need to find it now. Lol
HAGS (with rizz)!
I've not had many types of seafood, but a lobster burger does sound yummy, I'll try that this summer!
I learned many interesting thing listening this podcast and really lob it !
please I discovered the world of seafood puns save me !
9:20 now you have my attention. Whisperseat gaming, the new backseat gaming. You mention murder mysteries and there is a series perfect for y'all called Frog Detective. Its cute, its stupid, its funny and has the best cases and characters. My favorite is Lobster Cop, he is the best.
Can't wait for the summer, I have already arranged for quite a few things but here are a few:
-Visiting various islands with my boat in the local archipelago.
-At least two music festivals, mainly metal music stuff but there are other things in the 2nd one I already bought a ticket for
-You had this one in your lists as well but visiting a beach and swimming. This one will happen multiple times of course, probably in connection with the first thing on my list.
-Midsummer party! Not sure whether I'll be at our family summercabin or with friends somewhere but it is like the main holiday for us Finns.
-Beer at a bar terrace once it is warm enough. This obviously will also happen more than once as well.
HAGS!!!
I am glad you did a Japan episode. I will be sure to try some lobster sushi when I visit Japan this summer.
1:24:00 What the girls are describing, even without the language to encapsulate it, is the loss of 'third spaces'. As in, places that are neither Residential, nor Industrial / Commercial. You'll note the RCI thing that inspires SimCity doesn't have a metric for that third space, but it's things that you can go to with other people that do not primarily involve spending or earning money. Parks, arcades where it's like a quarter to play, spaces like that where you can just walk. Or chill out somewhere.
This episode was as good if not even better than the cinema masterpiece The Lobster. Im tempted to do the list 😤
Cant wait the day you two get experience living like Larry!
Another fun episode! I feel motivated to try to plan some fun things for this summer now too! Maybe i go to the beach and eat lobster. HAGS!
I think everything on your lists sound like great summer plans. If we weren’t complete strangers I would love to join in on those activities even though Matara lives in the middle of nowhere. So I guess I need my own fun ideas…
1. Run or bike outdoors and get ice cream
2. Have a barbecue
3. Make 3 kinds of ice cream that I haven’t made before
4. Find a local shop that I’ve never visited
5. Sleep under the stars
6. Go to sand dunes
7. Visit a water park
8. Have a board game night
9. Have a campfire
10. Visit a nature preserve
HAGS
P.S. I’m not posting this on Twitter because I got rid of my Twitter account. Hope you like the list regardless. #MintaraMondays
