Reading, Cooking and Life In General

I was very tired and Brooke and I ended up getting sick the week after the really amazing and busy Easter weekend at church. We have twice the amount of kids we normally do, so I imagine the germs were thick and in full attack.

I have been reading so much lately and it is so cathartic to my soul, however I have been neglecting the bible. I need to fix that. I just finished, Eat Cake, Left to Tell. Listened to Fractured Mind, The Friday Night Knitting Club, Made From Scratch, Look Me In The Eye. I highly recommend Left To Tell, Look Me In The Eye and Fractured Mind. All true and very interesting. I am very intrigued by true stories and those of people overcoming and discussion hardships.

I missed bible study because Brooke and I were sick. This is too bad because the leader (ess), husband and wife team did an exercise on priorities. We did not have our books yet for the “if you only had one month to live”. She is brilliant and is an experienced hospice nurse. So she knows about a short time to live. I am looking forward to this session.

Did a once a month cooking session with my best friend on Saturday. I was wiped out and in crazy pain that night. My back was a wreck, next time longer breaks? However I am beyond happy to know I have over 30 dinners and a grip of breakfasts.

I am hoping to put some great results from the book Wes got me for Easter. It is about home management. Not much I gleaned from time management or cooking sections. But the rest looks so promising. I will post the book title when I have it around.

Tonight we are having BBQ chicken sandwiches, potatoes, preparation pending my mood and maybe carrots or something. The BBQ chicken is from http://onceamonthmom.com/ April session. Tasted the sauce as I was packing it up and it was fantastic. Hope my family enjoys this.

Today, had a lovely lunch of left over wild rice chicken. I really like this recipe. This one came from the Once A Month Cooking; cookbook. BTW the recipe in this book for spaghetti sauce rivals my grandmothers. When I started assembling it is seemed sooo familiar. Then tasted it and I was so pleased and drifted back to childhood dinners of delicious red sauce burning my mouth ( due to a mild tomatoes allergy I have since out grown). Unable to stop because the pain is nothing compared to the wonderful red nectar a top my most favored carb in the word. Pasta, God love Pasta.
