tasty treats

some treats from the last little while.....

Red Miso Soup

Cheesy-garlic drop biscuits


Mediteranean Noodles with fake chicken.
Lots of things going on recently... my grandma passed away Sunday and the funeral is friday, which means I can't be with a friend on an important day, but she's incredible and was 100 percent supportive...but I still feel bad more for my own sake because I really wanted to be there for her.
So I'm off to Fargo Thursday and it's hard because of the situation and because funerals are always hard. My dad's been there all week and he doesn't sleep when he's out of town, poor guy. And my grandma was incredibly unhealthy, and, to be perfectly honest, it's a little surprising that she's made it this long. My friend Lyn told me that it was all for a reason, because we thought she was going to go this past summer, but didn't. I think it was so that she could die in her home, after spending a nice evening with her brother, after visiting some friends, and not with a feeding tube in a hospital. I think it was God reminding those around her that she was more than all her illnesses. Granted, they consumed her, her addictions, her illnesses, her anxiety, her depression, and her own doubt consumed her, but to her siblings, she was more than that and I'm glad they got to spend some more time with her.
I'm reading at the funeral. That's part of the list of to-dos for today. Figure it out.
I've also been picking up some hours at church again, which is a huge blessing. Josh's tips have been way down and I have hardly been working since I graduated because Urban can't give me more than 4-8 hours a week. Trying to supplement with this independant tutoring company, but it's such a wreck. If it would work, it would be incredible, but so far, I'm less than impressed with their organziation.
signing off to try to be productive.
