My success with the veggies 6 hours ago

prompted me to make a full dinner again the next evening.

I really don’t know how to cook too much, but I did learn not too long ago how easy it was to buy a salmon fillet, put some salad dressing on top, and throw it in the oven for 20 minutes. I had squash and yams left over, so I cut up some more (this time, remembering to cut off the squash rind first! I am such a rookie) and made the same side dish I made last night.

I was so pleased with myself. The side dish turned out as well as it did the night before, but I think next time I can use less oil and make it even healthier. The salmon was delicious. I’m going to have some of last night’s leftovers right now.

We were at Trader Joe's 6 hours ago

where they had a sample of a turnip, squash, and yam dish that was really yummy. I almost bought the premade bag they were selling, and then thought- wait! I can buy a butternut squash, we have yams at home already, and I can make it myself for much cheaper!

So I added a squash to my shopping cart and went home, cut up the squash and yams, sauteed them in olive oil, added cinnamon, and served it as a side dish to the delicious meal Frog was making. It turned out nicely, and I felt so good about contributing to the meal, not just cleaning up afterward.

51. Get whale perspective. 6 hours ago

I’ve always heard how whales are the largest mammals, and know the statistics for their size, but today I saw the jaw bone of a whale at the Wilderness visitor center. It was HUGE. Long and wide, easily over 12 feet by 2 feet, and very thick. And this was the JAW BONE.

One of those moments where you get instant perspective on the universe and how you are not the center of it.
