Simplicity

I'm not disturbed. I was bored.

I've experienced a nice, relaxing weekend. I watched a movie a day starting Thursday. (Saturday I only finished the last 20min of Fridays) My brain got to veg. How nice. I've entered a week, all planned out, nice and slow, and set up for another relaxing weekend. But noo... My classmates decided that they wanted to give up their weekend to study for an exam. So much for a free weekend. I'll have a mostly free weekend.
I carved a pumpkin this weekend, too. Not quite as, um.. unique as last years, (see pictures) but I like it. I'll hopefully get pictures up later of this years model.

Lurks in the dark...

Devour. What a nice word. "To eat hungrily or quickly". (also to consume destructively) It's two sided. You may fill yourself up now, but without the processing of the prey/food, you'll end up hungry or empty again. Like an unfilled appetite. Anyways... On subject, I've hungrily been consuming books lately: Only the Paranoid Survive (Andrew Grove), I'm in Jesus Culture, (for a book club/bible study/young adult group) God's Smuggler, and the Bible. Preface all of those with "I don't like to read" but I can't put any of them down. There's so much to discover, so much that I don't know. Back to devouring, I sure hope that all of them get processed so that I don't end up hungry again. Hungry in a bad way.

Progress: All is going well. I ate a pb&j yesterday and was horribly unsatisfied. How disappointing. My favorite food doesn't fill anything anymore. After eating, I honestly wanted a ton of cooked greens. Don't ask me. I did use JIF, maybe next time I'll find some Adam's. Or other nut butter.
Also on Saturday, Cookie Jar breakfast, to which Steven succumbed to the mighty cinnamon roll. (I ate half) It's a great feeling being able to know that every once in a while I can eat one of those with little ill effect. Perhaps a step in the right direction...

Hmm... The end of my thoughts.
Cheerio for now

Oh! Hey! My title paragraph. Forgot all about it. I've made two chicken soups in the last 5 days. They were easy, and tasted good. One was just chicken, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. The ratio was slightly off so it was meaty, but amazing. Then today was chicken, carrots, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, an onion, chicken broth, and a can of tomato sauce. It was amazing. Why do I love to cook? Simplicity. You can enjoy a few ingredients or add tons of spices and get incredible flavor.
