I grocery shopped for 3 hours.
I was getting so hungry by the end of it that I ended up with 4 bags of chips in my cart and kept going into the same aisles over and over again because I forgot numerous items.
I purchased some zucchinis though! I'm attempting to make zucchini lasagna because, well noodles have wheat, in fact they are made up of basically wheat, and from now until we celebrate Jesus and the Easter Bunny, no none of that for me.
My mom has her doubts about what this is going to taste like. And she won't let me put mushrooms in it. But really I'm dreaming of making candy sushi and popcorn cake. Bright, spring stuff. Stuffed in my mouth.
But in the spirit of trying new things, I made a smoothie tonight. (Also, alfredo sauce from scratch but I'm not sure that's impressive.) Yes sir, I have never before made a smoothie. We've had a blender for who knows how long and it has never been used until tonight. Tonight everything changes. I made a pretty standard smoothie (I even bought straws in preparation for the festivities!), shared it with my dad and watched the Israeli prime minister give his speech in America. It reminded me of the times when families gathered around the radio to listen to the news. I even asked my dad, "Is the whole world watching this?" It felt like it. But the entire evening's events may have been heightened by the fact that, girl please, I just made a smoothie.
My C.S. Lewis book has not shipped yet but I'm not worried. Oh, and the speech tonight has caused me to get stuck in memory lane-rush hour traffic, no turning around. I just want to high-tail it back to Israel and soak it all up again. After Easter. So I can make a pit stop in Italy and actually eat some homemade alfredo sauce. Amen.
