In reviewing the function of my blog and the changing circumstances of my life I’ve decided to try a new approach to blog writing. Instead of writing every detail of the week and making ridiculously long posts I’ll be writing about random stuff that occurs to me to right about and leaving the mundane daily out of the picture. It might reveal an interesting set of priorities, but I suppose the details I chose to share before did the same thing. My hope is that it will be easier for readers and writer alike to keep up since we all have too much to do.
Events of note since my last massive post:
I’ve been asked to play piano for the hymns for BCF’s Good Friday service. It’s not quite my piano debut since I’ve played in a few recitals at Eastman, but it’s my first time playing piano in church, and hymns are not the simplest songs around! I practiced today and I think I’ll be able to do well on most of them and fake it on the rest.
Speaking of faking it, I had 1 ½ hours today between getting home and when I had to leave for Bible study. As a happy aside the German Bible study was moved to Monday night this week so I could go to both it and BCF’s guilt free. The point in telling you this is that I decided to use that time to make dinner. I want to be more comfortable in the kitchen and I figured the only way to learn is to do it. The time limit forced me to forge ahead rather than overanalyze every step of instructions. I enjoyed a Swiss Cheese and Onion Soup (from LPHJ recipes) rather hastily, but preparation, consumption and clean-up all occurred within the time limit making me only slightly late for Bible study. The problem I still have is that my taste buds are as underdeveloped as my eyeballs. My ear might be discriminating, but I have no eye for fashion and my tongue is happy with just about every meal, so just because I enjoyed the soup doesn’t mean it’s fit to serve guests. Maybe my invitations should come with an “eat at your own risk” clause, but I know the guests I’d have would be too polite to say anything if it was bad . . . (Was I supposed to say if it were or have I finally find the one case where “if it was” is correct?)
I believe you are correct, since in this case you are assuming the food actually would be bad. On the other hand, you would say, "If my mother were here, she would tell me the truth." :)
I love that soup, by the way. We definitely don't have it often enough.
