Want to
know something about me, I cook with reckless abandon and nothing really else in
my life is like that. I’m almost always scared.
Scared I’ll fail, and sometimes even scared I will succeed.
Yesterday
I had to make potato soup for a sprinkle for my friend. You know I don’t have a recipe. I know what goes in, I know what shouldn’t go
in… and so I cook. Of course on those
days, the soup is REALLY good, and everyone wants to know how I made it.
So if
you’d like to know… here was my recipe.
I sautéed some onions
Then I added peeled, cubed redskin potatoes
Found some celery that I had cut up
for freezer crock pot meals… that went in
Added Maggi chicken boullion (because
everything is better with Maggi,
and it’s in everything, just ask my dear sweet
spunky Maxtelena)
Added salt, pepper, parsley.
Then smashed up a bit of the
potatoes with my immersion blender
Add half and half, Salavdorian sour
cream
Then added Monterrey Jack cheese
(hand shredded)
And then last but not least a half a
block of cream cheese.
Well
no wonder it was delicious. This was a
HUGE pot of soup, and really really good!
Some
people are afraid to cook, afraid it might turn out, maybe because it never
does… not me, the worst that can happen
is I throw it away (or add more cheese)
When
it comes to real life, I wish I lived more like I cook. I am afraid of a lot of things, and so I pray
a lot, stand in paralysis waiting, sometimes I jump too quick because the last
time I stood too long last time! I am
asking for prayer for something, just pray, it seems sooo awesome and it’s a
part of the Community Center I am dreaming of!
Small steps.
Today
I flipped my calendar (I read all the days I miss when I am not at work) and read
this…
I
have to say, I am excited to turn the door knob. Not ready for reckless abandon, but excited
about moving forward!
Excited
about little things…
