Holy! Only ten GiST posts to go after this.
- Someone left a kind comment on my Farsi Primer YouTube video. In fact, about a zillion people have left kind comments, most of which I cannot read because they are in Farsi and my Farsi never got past the stage of “Saraa has a basket of pomegranates. Daraa does not have a basket of pomegranates.”
- There are few times when I’m happier than when I’m cooking. This batch of vegetable Masala turned out better than ever! I also cooked a butternut squash in the microwave then scooped out the flesh and mixed it with brown sugar and butter. YUM!
- Pa was having a hard day with both weakness, some confusion and a head cold. But we still managed to have a good time…fighting after supper over who got to lick the bowl that the meringue was in. He won.
- I like the fact that I can usually tame my mind when it starts churning out crazy stories to make me anxious. I have so many good tools in my toolbox.

Vegetable masala sounds delicious! I must check out some recipes online as I’ve never made it before. It sounds like Pa deserved to have a win after his rough day. My grown kids still love licking the cake batter bowls! :)
Serena, Here is the recipe I use. I love it! Kelly
Kelly, I have discovered that I sometimes need to leave myself a note so that I remember that I even have the toolbox.
Crazy-stories mind is a challenging entity.
Rick, Thank you for this! I don’t know if you realize it, but you rarely admit that anything is challenging for you. It’s refreshing to know you’re human like the rest of us. ;) Kelly
Thanks for the feedback, Kelly. I am most assuredly human and challenged daily as we all are. When I comment, though, it is often from a place of, “Hey! I know something about that which might be helpful” and it can come across as Mr Know-it-all.
I’m no authority (don’t tell my wife) and any hints you see to the contrary are just my ego worming in.
Rick, Thank you for taking the feedback so graciously. :) Hugs, Kelly
I agree w/Rick. I have lots of tools in my toolbox but forget I have this box sometimes. !! glad you tend to remember. Well, actually your blog often reminds me.
