Potato Soup

I’m still so angry and sad. Why has this one death affected me so much? (see previous post if you’re confused)

Maybe it’s because Tennessee talked me out of putting up a pride flag when I moved here. She said we shouldn’t flaunt it and while I understood her reasoning, I wasn’t happy about it. Now I’m glad I didn’t insist but I’m still not happy about it. 

Maybe it’s because I’m still so upset about my work situation and that is affecting me more than I’ve been allowing for and perhaps I need to process that a little longer. Probably both are factors.

Anyway, there are so many other important things happening in the world right now. 

The most obvious being the mug shot heard around the world. This is a big thing, yes, but more important is that the recipe column was replaced by a bible column in this week’s paper. 

I wasn’t a fan of dessert lasagna recipes but there was already a religious column in the paper. Did we really need two? I hope the recipe column comes back.

The only crime news was about the woman violating her parole with drugs in her possession. This was near the pictures of all the fairest of the fair–an annual beauty contest for the county fair. We got to see the winners of the wee babes all the way up to the not so crone-ish “Senior Miss”. 

An interesting juxtaposition don’t you think? Which women are we supposed to be? I wonder.

I did manage to do my best impression of a good wife yesterday so maybe it’s working.

Tennessee is not feeling well and one of her comfort foods is potato soup. I got the recipe from her sister and made it last night. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself and it wasn’t even that hard to make. Look at me doubling the number of meals I can cook well.

TGIF. Be well my friends.
