Why I don't bake....

A conversation that I had with a youth group dad the other day:

Me: I like to cook, but I don't have time to. I'm only home for dinner about one day a week. I don't really bake though, because its a lot more -
Him: Feminine.
Me: ...Precise.
Him: Oh, that's true. Haha.
Me: Are you saying I'm too manly to bake?

Hilarious. Obviously he meant that I was tomboyish and not that I was manly. I hope. This conversation happened while I was making strawberry shortcake, whipped cream, and butter from scratch, with a bunch of teenagers. It was a little sketchy but things came out awesome. Who says I can't be domestic?

Food

Pastor Amy just wrote a blog on eating locally produced food.... something I am hoping to do more of. There are some good suggestions.

Here is another link for an organization called Free Rice, which involves three things I love: rice, vocabulary and providing food for people in poverty! Take a vocab quiz and for every right answer, the organization donates 10 grains of rice.

I am planning a list of suggestions for socially-conscious Christmas shopping... as soon as I have time to put it together.
