| I can bake a cake but I can't eat it too |
Well, I am home again, they just called from my school to say we are under snow conditions, yet again. Until at least Friday. So, I guess I'll be working on my art work, again. Gee, that is too bad! But I really miss my kids.
When I last wrote on this post it was early early morning before the sun??? came up. No sun. Anyway, my point is that I thought it was kinda funny that one could really kill themselves with food. Not that I would ever do anything like that intentionally, ever.
But, I am reading a cool book written by Orangette called " A Homemade Life". I am sitting here with tears in my eyes because she really knows me. We are cut from the same cloth, a little bit. This cooking thing and the homey thing and that her dad is the only person in the world that knows my secret ingredient for Potato Salad. I have always used the package kind of Ranch Dressing. I sprinkle it on the red potatoes before anything else and set the bowl to chill. I toss and toss to make sure each potato is coated pretty well. Salt, too. Then I proceed to the rest of the ingredients. Now, Mayonnaise is a deal breaker with me. If you bring home the wrong kind you can just turn around and leave. It is funny because my Honey and I just had this conversation the other day! I asked him "What were you thinking?"," And how many years have we been married?????" It is a very big deal, to me. Real Mayonnaise by Hellmans! My dad was 73 when he passed on and left me here without him. I loved my dad more than anything. I had him on a pedestal. He fell off and broke my heart which is another story. But I loved him so very much and I miss him so very much. It is that Danish way about him that you could see in his beautiful blue eyes. He was so through and through Danish. I didn't know how much until I was grown and found out that, a lot of things, I automatically think, came from that, too. My grandparents were very interesting people and I miss them. Well, I am not going to write a book here, now. I just wanted to say that I am in the midst of reading this wonderful book and I just want to share. I also wanted to let you know that I am not really going to do a suicide by bread thing.
Besides I couldn't get that book, anyway.
So, I am going to go and try to finish putting my groceries away and finish what I started yesterday, you know, the organization bit, minus the panic attack. I am looking at it in a different way, today. SLOW ORGANIZATION. I am getting very Zen, these days.
Oh and one more thing, I put the video of Georgia O'Keeffe on because I loved her and visited her home and I miss the area and this morning very very early I ordered another bunch of yarn from Camilla Bloom from Magnolia Handspun that looks like a Georgia painting and I am going to make a Georgia Mag Bag.
