Stress Relief

Dear Reader:

If you haven't figured this one out yet... I love food... a lot. But to me food and cooking has become so much more than that. I've realized how much of a gift from God the ability to cook and bake is. (And it also has other little gifts attached-- You're friends stay happy ;) ) But in all seriousness, cooking/baking has become something that I can turn to for some stress relief.

Yesterday was time for just that. Meaning: Time in the Kitchen!

The Menu:

Cheesecake Brownies 

Ingredients:

Your roommates eggs 

A lot of spray... since the last time I made brownies they didn't want to come out of the pan.... 

An Arabic Class and Friends/Roommate to share with

I guess I should mention that it was just a box mix but still.. I baked :) and they were delicious.

I would offer some sort of photo proof, but my dear Christal was not around to take the pictures. 

Anyways, immediately after finishing off the brownies... Our Arabic Class set off to an Arabic Deli/Super store. Guess what?! That means more food! Huge gyros with chicken and lamb, tantalizingly delicious baklava, guava and mango juice and talking about how to make Arabic coffee-- something that shall be attempted in the near future as I know have my qahwah (coffee) and rakweh (the special pot). 

And then comes Thanksgiving... I hope you enjoy a wonderful meal tomorrow, stuffed full with good food, family times, and giving thanks to the God who provides us with all that is needed. 

Psalm 107:1
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever." 

Toodles for now,

Megan
