January 8, 2012

This week was full of food things, and yet some days were just normal.

I made guacamole hummus - hummus has never been my favorite food item, the word “chickpea” is silly to me.  When I waitressed I had to put “garbonzo beans” on the salad bar and I thought they were yucky.  Recently, I have found a passion for all things avocado, mostly though guacamole.  So when I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it.  I love it!!!!  I shared it with my friends, Michelle and Beth (and little Gracie), and they both enjoyed it as well.  It will make great lunches when school starts again.  

I also started my own Kombucha.  My friend Michelle has been doing this for about 2 years and she has been after me to drink it more.  I am “scared” of Kombucha - or booch - because of the floaty, bacteria things that it contains.  I cannot drink a bottle of it straight up.  I need to have it strained.  I like it, I know its good for me and I know that I need the floaty, bacteria things - I just have a hard time with the bacteria.  So I have a batch brewing in the basement now.  :)  It should be done Monday or Tuesday.  

I also had to ask my parents if it was ok to brew Kombucha at home .... rather, their house.  My parents are somewhat selective as to what I am allowed to make or do in their kitchen.  Asking them to let me brew Kombucha was “scary” in itself.  After I had thought it through and figured out where a good place to keep it was, I had more confidence and obviously it is ok because I have a batch brewing.

I also bought yarn for a project with my earbuds.  I am going to do that next week. More to come on that one.

I also bought the supplies I need to create a canvas of my daughters senior picture.  My one small Modge Podge project is incased in glass so....this will be interesting.  The first part of the project is sitting now.... I don’t like to ruin pictures which is why this is “scary” to me.

So not everyday will I be conquering spiders or large messes.  Each day will bring small differences or changes that I will have to be optimistic about and learn to adjust.
