Significant other and I have been in the throws of what seems like a never ending move. Our friend moved into our place to take over our lease at the beginning of August, we haven't gotten the go ahead to move into our new place (the Internets do not deserve details), and so we've been hopping between friends' houses for almost two months. We've both been without work, have been relying on savings, and have overall had a pretty terrible time. Our saving grace has been the generosity, understanding, and love our amazing friends have shown us. I don't get touchy feely in this blog, but I gotta say that I feel truly blessed.
That aside, this really blows and I'm tired of it. S.O. has started working and so I've been left to my own devices. Also one of the friends we've been staying with had his birthday. Why does this matter? If you have to ask that question then you probably shouldn't read my blog, but if you've recently had a flare gun to the head and haven't figured it out, it means that I have been baking and cooking up a perfect storm of tasty buttery herby cheesy slut-tastic heaven. There's been spaghetti, enchilada casserole, cauliflower soup, mushroom stroganoff, blackberry cobbler, and brownies. All made from scratch and all within the past 8 days.
I would provide pics, but my camera is in a box. I would provide details about each meal, but that would require putting more effort into composing my blog than the food I make and that goes against my greater sensibilities. What I can say is this (touchy feely again), when life hands you lemons, when your world is turned upside down and you have no idea what will happen next, remember the people around you who love you and the activities that make you smile. Those two things, whatever and whomever they may be, will make any situation you face easier. Thank you to all who have done something, anything, to help us these past few months and, more importantly, thank you to the person thousands of years ago who invented butter.
