Movie and Popcorn Tonight
It is cold and gloomy and a typical winter night. I just didn’t feel like going out in the cold, so I rented a movie from Redbox and made a big bowl of popcorn. The movie was called “Due Date.” It was a strange movie, but it had some funny moments. i think it was supposed to be a guy flick, without all the gratuitous violence and special effects. Anyway, I’m glad i watched it if for no reason other than being able to cross it off my list of movies to rent.
Tried Cooking Some Cajun Foods
My mom let me borrow her cookbook about Cajun foods. Its by a guy names Justin Wilson. Mom says he used to have a TV cooking show, kind of like the Cajun Julia Childs. Sorry I missed that – I think the old cooking shows are fun to watch – there are several on Youtube. In fact, there might be some Justin Wilson videos on Youtube.
The cookbook talks about the basics, like making a roue. I just made a batch of mock turtle soup. It will be ready to taste tonight when I get home – I can’t wait to try it!
The Year to Volunteer
This year I want to do something to give back to the community. I would like to volunteer for a local organization and help people. Children or women who need job skills or someone to help them get through hard times. Just not sick people or an organization that hounds you for money all the time. I can teach kids to read, I can teach English to Spanish speaking children or women, or I can give a ride to job interviews or something that would help a single mom. Even babysitting. Does anyone have a suggestion of what organization I should contact?
Good bye 2011 – Hello 2012
Tonight is a big party in the streets of downtown. I heard that they got some big names bands to play some free concerts and that we night even be televised, as this celebration is supposed to be the third largest in the USA! Isn’t that amazing? And I’ll be there – look for me!
Tired But Happy
Whew! I’m so glad that the holidays are almost over. The whole thing about shopping for gifts, cleaning house, decorating a tree, cooking and baking, and then visiting family will wear a girl out!
I was glad to see almost everyone in my family. I missed seeing my pretty niece and her new baby, but they had car trouble and couldn’t make the trip down. I will have to go up there and see her after the first of the year. I feel badly that she missed out on the family dinner, but we didn’t find out about the car trouble in time to make other arrangements for her to get there.
