making soup
it's amazing how comforting the process of cooking is to me
even when i can't give it my full attention
i simmered a leftover roast chicken carcass and all the goo and leftover veggies that were in the chicken pan for an hour yesterday
this afternoon, i took out the bones, and added leeks, red lentils, kale, some sweet potato, and some dried wild mushrooms.
it's simmering right now, and making the house feel cozy and good.
i have a frustrating paper. ideas bigger than structure. and i was writing it with the wrong structure in mind for the past two weeks. mostly writing in my head, but i was so confident. because it was due to day, but i had it all in my head and halfway down on paper. and then yesterday morning, i realized that i had the completely wrong structure for the assignment. so now I am trying to create a new paper out of the wreckage of the old. and hope i can continue to use the 5 scholarly articles I already researched and that I am really excited about.
it was gonna be on the impact of child welfare finding neglect when families are in poverty
but i found all these cool papers about houselessness specifically, and the correlation of separation of children from families, and how positive parent role can support parents' success in stabilizing out of houselessness.
and i'm supposed to analyze this issue in the context of two major theoretical models. that's the part i didnt' realize until yesterday. in fact, that's supposed to be the majority of the paper. not all the cool stuff in the articles about the topic, and how it relates to my own past work experience and the challenges of this particular community.
argh.
soup smells awesome.
