The title was a forewarning. My little family is asleep so, I saw the opportunity to get in here and just write. I played with the idea of putting my blogs in a "box". You know, just write something from a picture I took. However, I am digging the idea of talking about things I may be able to add pictures to after. I don't know, call it eclectic or extreme abstrationism. This is how my art teachers described me in college.. What does it all mean? I must be different, or at the very least, how I express myself creatively is very different.
Last night we were cooking chicken and my husband wanted to pour salsa over it, then asked if I had any suggestions. I remembered an Indian style cooking show I recently watched with some great spice combos. I took over. I felt excited to experiment. I added Turmeric, Cinnamon, Thyme, Mint, Cumin, and salt/pepper. I added a little oil and lemon juice (just a sprinkle) and cooked it till the chicken was done and chunked it into smaller pieces. We have been getting more and more creative with our chicken, because I enjoy new things, variety, and we eat a lot of chicken now. I wish I liked fish... Any who, I also made brown rice with peas in it. I added a little Worcestershire sauce, Karo syrup, and Dijon mustard to it. I know it sounds gross but I saw the combo on a barbecue show to make BBQ sauce. Then I put it all in the same pan and fried it together. It turned out great, and my husband ended up finishing mine.
Didn't think I'd be typing a cooking lesson, but there I go again, got to teach someone something!
I have been thinking a bit about friendship lately. Some say that a real friend is someone who will take the time to sit with you and listen. I think I have a hard time opening up because when I do, I get bombarded by suggestions and then I get all defensive like "I know what I'm doing". Even though I don't. I would be more apt, I think, to take suggestions if someone would listen first... Just a thought. I am glad that I can turn to Jesus. He always listens. I feel the need though for a close fellowship with another believer.(other than my mom and husband of course. Does that make me sound spoiled?) I have been praying for it and I know He is preparing someone to be able to handle me! A friend, which I think He may be resurrecting from my past. I just have to hang in and trust that God is leading me in the right direction.
I better get some more sleep.
More Later
