Wendy 1 Zucchini 1

I spent HOURS yesterday afternoon trying to crisp little slices of zucchini in my oven. After killing 6 zucchinis and burning or making goop of several trays of wanna-be chips, I gave up.

I vented frustration on facebook...and the heavy response was "food dehydtrator!" Now, I've got to say, I am no fan of these bulky kitchen annoyances, but if they're going to help me make healthy chips and widen my menu a bit without throwing me into a carbs spin....well, I'll have a look at getting one.

For today, though, playing it safe with asparagus, notatoes and cracked pepper-rubbed ham.

But, do hear this: I'll get you zucchini, and your little dog, too.

I did not get to church today because the one I love to go to is ultimately too far away. I've been an indecisive mess for too long, though, and wish to find one much, much closer to home so I can be a more committed churchgoer. I don't feel I need to do this to be more committed to God, I just need to have the set-aside time to bask in His presence with my family and a bunch of other imperfect people held together by a thread of love. Same as I can do in any grocery store - only more focused on sharing Divine energy. That's the stuff.
