i'm home
so i'm home, my flight was, interesting. the first one was an hour and 45 min late partially due to a "stuck engine starter" then after we got to denver i ran to the second flight which was held due to a few people flying stand-by and then it was like, one of the best flights i've ever had.
today i cooked - a lot. first i made coconut mango sorbet, while that was being frozen in the ice cream maker i started making this rather tasty pear strudel which i had to put on hold because i was dumb and didn't really that maybe the phyllo dough had to be defrosted (i think this was the first time i'd ever worked with phyllo). then tonight i made this Rib-Eye Tacos with Onion Jam and Horseradish Creme Fraiche for dinner (except minus the creme fraiche because i don't like it).
other good reason for being on the west coast - i'm on the same coast (and really time zone) as, well all of my cousins but in particular adrianne who i've been talking to every few days, or at least it seems that way. its weird because i haven't seen her in at least 10 years as she just short of refuses to come back up to portland (though she's going to visit due to realizing that maybe she should see our grandma) but she is so clearly my favorite person in my family and one of the people i trust the most in my life.
also, other good thing in my life, i have an appt with my therapist in portland (aka the best therapist i've ever had) which is always good.
