Thankful Thursday-Cooking once again!
Got the crust recipe off of: http://www.food.com/recipe/easy-whole-wheat-pie-crust-221052
I split the recipe in half, used normal salt and white sugar instead of brown sugar.
The filling:
chopped apple
chopped orange
Tossed fruit in a mixture of 2 Tblsp of sugar and 2Tblsp Buckweat flour with a few drops of butter flavoring, olive oil and vanilla.
MMMMMmmmm!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Hello my loves!
So this may soung like Greek to some of you, but as a single woman I really love Valentine's Day...to be honest I have my beloved family to thank for that. Every Valentines day they are sure to send me a delightful package filled with homeade goodies, loving notes and decoration. I LOVE YOU ALL!
And I simply have to tell you all about my surprise Valentine from God. It was like a scene from a movie. :)
So I'm having breakfast before hurrying off to my book-repairing job and I'm coming back with my second bowl of cereal (with peanut butter and bananas-absolutely scrumptious.) Suddenly I realize my booth has dissapeared. Someone's delicious looking bagel with cream cheese and raspberry jam is sitting there. I love raspberry jam. And then of course, a guy's voice behind me.
"Oh! I'm sorry, were you sitting there?"
I realize my jacket was shoved inconspicuiously in a corner of the booth.
"Oh! no worries! I can move."
I am now sitting about 2 feet away slightly facing him at another table. 2 seconds pass like an eternity of awkward silence. I can't take it any more.
"Or we could just have a stranger breakfast." (Awkwardly moving back.)
We ended up having a lovely conversation. He's a junior, transfer, communications/business major...was going to be a teacher at the previous college, lived in Maryland. It just felt genuine. That's rare when talking to a complete stranger...it almost always just steriotypical questions. It lasted for about 5-10 minutes. And then I rush off to work.
And that was my valentines date from God. :)
Yours truly!
"That was short breakfast."
"Yeah, I'm on my second bowl." (laughing)

Happy Valentines Day
Hello loves!
Prepare yourselves for a glorious Valentines Day!
A group of grilfriends and I do an activity called Secret Admirer. We each choose a name from hat and then get something under $10 dollars for whoever it is...usually consisting of lots of chocolate and a sweet card. We all got together the night before Valentines Day and ate lots of chocolate and exchanged gifts. What a blessing to have such a wonderful group of girls to hang out with!
Oh! And I wrote a poem about the delight I found in my mail box that night:
I have two Red
Package-slips
To carry around
Like promises
Fingered over and over again
Reluctant to turn them in
The simplicity of return addresses
Or “Your sincerely……..”
I want
To write a love note
To a certain dashing acquaintance
To all the possibilities
But it’s not the same
If I don’t mean it
And too terrifying when I do
So I cling to these little promises
Too human
To forget
The ache
To be gathered
Broken
In another’s arms
Yours truly
