Today I am thankful for the unexpected free parking at the library and unexpectedly seeing my cousin! I had some extra time to kill after my job this morning before I headed to my 2nd job so I decided to go to the downtown library to spend some time. I always enjoy any time spent there, so a good trip was made even better when I found out that the garage parking wasn’t working so I didn’t have to pay for anything! It’s normally only a couple of dollars to park in the garage, but still–it was a nice unexpected surprise! :) And as I was leaving, I ran into my cousin, whom I haven’t seen in forever! It was great to talk to him for a few minutes and see him! And even on top of that, I got a couple of new good books to dig into! :)
I was apparently in a food mood today :) The first book is about a family that only ate food they grew themselves or that was grown right in their own town. It was recommended to me when I said I wanted to learn how to make my own cheese :) I guess they try that in there somewhere–it looks really interesting so I am excited to crack it open. :) The second one is full of recipes for when I cook for myself. I always end up making way too much food and it never tastes as good after being in the refrigerator for a day or two. So hopefully I can get some ideas for tasty meals just for me. :) If you have any ideas, please leave me a comment!!
