Sorry to brag, but I’m incredibly lucky. I am surrounded by encouraging and uplifting people, I come home every night to the most romantic and kind love, I wake up to a cold pup-pup nose nudging me to come play. And my family, though they live in a city that I loathe (Charlotte), they’ve taught me a lot about my wants, needs, and how to fight for them. This Christmas, I was at their house, filled with excess everything and craving my simplistic life. I missed waking up and having a challenge about what to make for dinner, the yearning of wanting something and saving up for it, and I especially missed the very little electricity that we use. While I was there, I felt a sense of disapproval for their new lifestyle. While I was being condescending, my family was coming around to my lifestyle. It was a nice role reversal and I benefited from it. My new presents that I’ve been playing with include: a weedeater with multiple attachments, a baking stone for my bread, and my ultimate favorite: my new foodsaver. Go ahead. Look. It’s beautiful…
I food saved all of our wontons from NYE. They’re currently in my freezer. Air tight. I can’t wait to foodsave some flavor into tofu and totally rock everyone’s world with some fake meaty treats. I am finding it hard to resist the urge to food save everything. Having such little space to freeze things helps. Sort of.
