Been cooking, but first, here's a quote my friend, MarLyn had on her status. I love this so so so so so much. I'm so glad I'm a girl. Even though I hate how emotional I am sometimes, I feel like it's overall a blessing rather than a curse.
“Being tender and open is beautiful. As a woman,
I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive.
Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah.
Don’t let someone steal your tenderness.
Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your
perfectly vulnerable beating heart.
Nothing is more powerful than allowing
yourself to truly be affected by things.
Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain,
a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article,
a sentence, a footstep, feel it all –
look around you. All of this is for you.
Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.”

So, I have made some scrumptious things here lately. For the next little while, I have to keep myself busy so I don't go insane with my recent life events. So, While Betsy was at work today, I cooked up a storm, danced in my apron {clarification-with clothes on underneath, not just the apron} and sang a few songs into my wooden spoon. My mother taught me this. Only she usually uses a hair brush. They both work, right?
Did I mention that I had the windows open. Not so the whole apartment complex could hear me, but because it's a beeeeeautiful day! I love spring.
So I made coookies. And a pasta bake thing. Naturally I just made that recipe up.
If you want the cookie recipe comment and ask, I'm just nowhere near it right now, but i'd be happy to post it. Not really a secret one, but they were excellent. So i'm adding it to my success stories in cooking. :D
