let me just warn you, i am not your average 19 year old. my spring break did not include wild partying, or Mexico. that's just not me. my spring break embodied the word "peace" and that is just what i needed.
the last tuesday of every month we have my grandparents over for dinner, well of course because i was home guess who whipped that up?! I designed a salad to die for! topped with mango chutney, spiced pecans, and thyme hushpuppies instead of croutons it was something to behold. i drizzled it with a Dijon dressing and served it with cheddar and leek soup. viola!!! while we ate we got into a debate over how to pronounce the word chutney. is it (Chut-any) or (Choot-ney) any word from the peanut gallery? please, put us out of our misery!
Here's the magnanimous salad. that sounds like something dustin hoffman would have said as captain hook in the movie "Hook."
ok, the only reason this picture is on here is because i felt you should truly know this side of me, considering it's not exactly a "side" it's more of a whole. I have to be honest with you, i sometimes come across as allot more sane than i really am. this poses as a problem because then you meet me and you're not sure if i'm human or not. yeah.... that's a problem.
this was me at Lizzy Hanich's house wearing one of her brother's caving lights on my head. i don't know why, but i felt the need to do this.
this is my dear, sweet, fast maturing sister Naomi. my sunglasses are about as big as her whole head! we had such sweet times together while i was home, like literally, things out of a Hallmark movie.
it think that's kind of it for now, i just wanted to throw those few little tings in there so that i was up to date. i am now back in chicago, after a very difficult parting with the family, and a 5 hour drive... here i am. i feel revived though, a new quarter to do new things.... ahhh, fresh starts. are you not immensely thankful for them?
Um...thyme hushpuppies? We need to TALK on Wednesday. Can't wait to see you.
