5 on Friday {Food}

-
1. Kent officiated his first wedding (!!) last Saturday and brought home this plate o' chocolate for me. What can I say...he gets me.

I returned the favor later in the week by sharing my chocolate mug cake recipe with him. He was hesitant to make it, but once I talked him into it, he was impressed*

*this is hard to do
2. I found that we were all but out of Duke's Mayonnaise, but I did find these two imposters in my fridge. I snapped this picture, sent it to Kent and told him, "Quit bringing this crap into my house" (Followed by lots of "ha ha ha ha"s) DUKE'S FOR LIFE
 3. During my recent visit with my parents, my Dad was all "This is what you want! If you're looking for high protein...other nutritional facts that he says while I zone out..." I decided, OK!Let's do it! during my last shopping trip. I had missed the crunch of cereal in the morning.

Um. I'd rather eat cardboard. Or insulation. Or not eat at all and save my $2.
 4. I successfully made chicken strips! Growing up, I'd request them for my birthday dinner (+mashed potatoes). My seasonings need work, but I was pumped that my breading stayed on. I'm one step closer.
5. Ilse (ill-sa) came for dinner last night. She's our 76 year German friend from church who has adopted us. About every other week she calls and tells me that she has a meal and asks if she can bring it one night.  She normally comes when Kent is gone, but last night we grilled for her. As an introvert, I've learned that this is the only way we will see her on a regular basis. She invites herself over and that's that. We talk about church, her mercy ministries (home girl has a busy schedule), the girls, food, family and her celebration of life service (Ilse! Morbid!)

Have a great weekend and take time to spread a little Duke's on your sandwhich

3 Reasons

3 Reasons:  Why It's a Good Idea to Move (Because "The Reasons Why We Shouldn't Move" would be too long &  too sappy)  1. I'm less likely to run into people from Middle School . This reason specifically addresses my 8th grade English teacher. I've probably seen her every year since the 8th grade and considering that that was thirteen years  ago, that's a lot of times. I've always resisted the urge to walk up to her and say, "You never taught me how to diagram sentences! You're the reason I'm not a writer!" But if I happen to see her after I move, I'll take it as a sign and invite her out to lunch...where she might just teach me how to diagram sentences. 2. It's a ritzy, upscale place . We're moving to a place where people are well off. Yes, there will be drawbacks to this and I probably wouldn't pick it if I had a choice (but that's a blog post for another day). While there will be drawbacks, the

First, dear readers, we have some business to take care of. I'd like to do semi-regular posts on "Thrifting" (something catchy like like Thankful Thursdays) All I have so far is... More of Caris' Inheritance Down the Drain Mondays or Stuff in my house Saturdays [Please submit any ideas] I have inner conflict (deep, counseling word) when it comes to Thrifting. I legitimately don't want a bunch of stuff in my house so the obvious answer would be to avoid shopping altogether (moment of silence while part of me DIES). But the thrill of the hunt keeps me going back again and again. I feel like we've talked about this before... sorry I looked into joining the local Y as an alternative to shopping, . I pictured Tiny Su and I swimming daily and pumping some iron until I found out that it was ninety-nine dollars  a month. That doesn't exactly fit into the monthly budget so my weekly solo outings usually consist of grocery shopping, walk
