Any opportunity to eat I take...it usually backfires on me but I'm young and don't care :)
So here's to food!!!
9/2: Fall is coming! I know this not because of the chillier than usual temps, that fall smell, or the candy corn that is now gracing the shelves of grocery stores..no no..it's the sun and the sunsets. They've been beautiful lately! I saw one on the way to hanging out with friends and if I wasn't driving on the freeway I would have pulled over. The sun was hitting the whispy cirrus clouds just right to make it look like they were on fire. It looked like the sky was made of ice and that the sun was frozen in it. Gorgeous! The next day I woke up to the sun streaming into our dining room and it was a pretty shade of gold. I just wish my camera could capture it :( But instead it just looks a little yellow..
9/3:
The wonderful in-laws came up for Labor Day weekend to take care of some stuff in Sandpoint and for the regular check-up for Brand's mom (she is in remission from ovarian cancer and the check-up was so good she only has to come once a year now! yay Rose!) Anywho..they never come without bearing gifts of the foody kind. So our refrigerator is always stocked after even a quick 2 hour visit with them. (Not pictured: giant watermelon...)
9/4:
Boise has a lot of things that make it greater than Spokane. Besides its stellar football team and awesome family, it has a way to keep it's folks entertained. There seems to be something always going on that people can partake in..and a lot of it is free! I love it! Spokane just doesn't seem to have much of that, or they don't make a big deal out of it so no one really knows about it. But there is one thing that I have had the opportunity to partake in for the first time this year and that is Pig Out in the Park. It's a HUGE restaurant fair in Riverfront Park. It is about five days long and there is so much food to pick from! On top of that they have a lot of free bands to listen to..and a three beer gardens if that's what you're into. A couple of years ago The Clumsy Lovers played and I unfortunately missed out (Alaska methinks?). But this year I got a GIANT corn dog and it was delicious! It's a great warm-up for the fair in a week and it gets me all excited for funnel cakes, elephant ears, snow cones, huckleberry anything, and giant corn on the cobs! yay!! To make it even better, we met up with some great friends.
Food is therapeutic as well as necessary. Maybe that's why I got into the business of ending hunger. It humbles me to think that people aren't eating today and my refrigerator is full and to think of how much I spent on a giant corn dog. I talked with a client today who doesn't buy food because he has bills to pay first. It's a sad but all too common truth. Bills always come first and then empty bellies. I hope we can all think about those going without tonight and maybe give a little to your local food bank.
