christal blue persuasions musings

I made an angel food cake (from scratch I might add) with a fluffy egg white frosting. The kids were in ‘need’ of a dessert. Instead of buying them one, I gave in and made the lesser of all evils. It was not my best one to date but it was good all the same. I had a slice with some lemon sorbet. What a treat after being in the sun all day and working like a chicken with its head cut off.

I sunburned my back pretty badly. I actually had to take a pain pill in order to sleep because of it. Then I woke at four with it feeling like I had sand paper in my shirt . A lil aloe later and Im ready to try to sleep for an hour before I have to get up and truly start my day. Although my 19 didn’t grumble , it was obvious being woken from her sleep to aloe mamma’s back was not gonna be the highlight of her week.

Someone who’s judgment I really respect  dropped me a line letting me know how good farming was for most people. Remember there was a day we had to work hard for our existence… if we wanted food we spent months growing it, if we wanted dinner, we had to cut it up and make it, if we wanted a cake, we had to fold in the egg whites etc.While I was always one for homemade food and not store bought, this is really driving home to me the difference in our society, how we view food, how we view hard work, WHAT we view as food etc.

Im going to try to nap and will write a true blog when the day starts.
