Kathy baked the salmon with a spicy mustards, Joanna had a kale salad, and we ate as if in 5-Star restaurant. On a Friday night after a busy school night. It was exactly what I needed.
A grant was submitted, I hosted a lunch from Abi's Falafel with students and a colleague in preparation for NCTE, and I can say that my Friday was a culinary fiesta. Such good eating and I must admit, it was a blessed day for the stomach.
The weekend is supposed to be nice before a rather dreary, rainy week, so I'm glad we gathered as we did. Lawn needs to be mowed. Classes need to be planned. I really must grade, but for a night I was in chill-mode and I appreciated every second. Meet a teacher. Hear their stories. Let them share the chaos of a school week and you can't help but laugh at the complications of a bizarre, almost impossible world.
But with friends and good food...it all is made tolerable. I am thankful.
