Gardening

I have decided to start a garden. I have no idea how it will turn out or even if I will ever get seeds in the ground before "winter," but I'm going to give it a shot.

Things I hope to grow:
• Tomatoes
• Garlic
• Peppers
• Potatoes
• Spinach
• Onions
• Chives
• Mint
• Basil
• Rosemary
• Squash
• Strawberries

Cooking With What You Have

Today I tried an experiment with Flatbread and it turned out pretty good if I do say so myself. I Googled "yeast free flatbread recipe" and found a very basic recipe online that only required flour, salt, warm water, and oil, did a little math, and cooked up an easy peasy flatbread.

I put tomato, spinach, and feta cheese on one, wrapped it up, and voila, lunch!

Changes

• Sister getting married
• New apartment
• New roommates
• (hopefully soon) New Job

A Thought

Mottos are better in Latin. For example:
o Semper Fidelis ("Always Faithful," U.S. Marines)
o Regnum Defende ("Defend the Realm," British Security Services)
o Dominus Illuminatio Mea "(The Lord is my light," Oxford University)
o E pluribus unum ("Out of many, one"; Great Seal of the United States)
o Carpe Diem ("Seize the day")
o Dum spiro spero ("While I breathe, I hope")
o Sic semper tyrannis ("Thus always to tyrants")

Eucharisteo (Giving Thanks)

o For baby boys being born almost exactly when their mothers predicted, two weeks early
o For Cammie’s toe-prints on my windshield
o For work
o For food in my fridge
o For gas in my car
o For full bottles of shampoo
o For books that make you recognize how good God is
