Decided to cook some taco mince… went a bit overboard…
Brown mince, cook onions, dump some spice on while doing that. Drain fat.
Dump all in the slow cooker, we’ll see what it’s like in the morning.

Today we have the All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE) - a mighty assault vehicle for the battlefield.
All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE)
Sometimes you have to pause and take stock of your situation. After yesterday’s escalation by our captor, we decided to try and make our lives a little more comfortable while we can. The grass in the yard is comfortable enough for me to lie on when there is not another option, but for my poor friend the flat surface is torture.
She explained that in the past she has been able to find comfort in a curved surface such as a chair or a soft pillow, so we continued the excavation of a hole dug for a diversion tactic in the hopes of making do. It seems to have worked, and our captor did not instantly destroy it upon finding it. For a moment I felt he cared for us, but I am sure this cannot be true.

The day was spent working on two fronts - the diversion and our real goal.
First the diversion - a continuation of the dig along the northern boundary - we made sure to make as much mess as possible in the little time we had so that our captor would focus his attention on this. It worked, for when he returned from whatever he does while he abandons us to our thoughts, all he noticed was the dirt and spent some time outside cleaning it up.
