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.

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.

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.
