Randy this is a fun topic. Tools in the kitchen are important i.e sauce pan and roasting pan. I get this picture in my head of you with the mechanics tools from your house warming party and the quizical look regarding what to do with them. I love those tools too.
God gives us the equipment we need to be in the independent state we are in and it is fun.
The preparation time for any meal you will make for your self will get less and less as you get experience.
Just before writing this I whipped up some dressing (thanksgiving type stuffing) because I was craving it. Still thinking about Thanks giving dinner I guess.
I just got out my one quart sauce pan (boiling pan:)) poured in about a cup and a half of water brought that to a boil and added chicken bouilion then chopped celery and chopped onion, a sprinke of salt and pepper and 3/4 stick of butter. when the celery was soft to the fork poke I added healthy bread crumbs (enough to soak up the liquid mixture) and
wa lah I had my stuffing.
That is how I cook. Never bother getting out the measuring cup. You learn as you experiment.
It took 10 minutes to whip that up and that will be my dinner tonight. I gave my body what I had an appetite for and I am satisfied.
If I were to plan a dinner for myself before I was not already too hungry I would have done the whole Thanksgiving style spread only using a chicken instead of a big turkey.
I would get out my roasting pan, dribble a little water in the bottom of it. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees and start making up that stuffing I just told you about.
Instead of celery I like to use sweet italian sausage sometimes. I'll explain just how to do that recipe if you like italian sausage.
It's great to me!
Where was I? Oh yeah...while the stuffing is simmering (to really get the flavors to mingle,) I peel potatoes or sweet potatoes to add to the roasting pan once the bird is stuffed and set in place in the center of the roast pan.
I rub salt and pepper on the chicken while in the pan and then I stuff the cavity of the chicken with the dressing. Left over dressing gets stuffed under the breast of the chickens skin. Now I place the chunks of potatoes on the right side of the roaster and the chunks of carrots I forgot to tell you to cut up on the left side of the roaster. I also get frozen corn out of my freezer and make it fit in any where else in that pan that I can make it fit. Cover the roasting pan with the lid that it came with and bake for 1 and a half hours.( 2 hours wont hurt it . the chicken will just fall off of the bone that much more easily.)
When I look at the finished product I see beautiful. Everything cooks together in the chickens own juices and is delicious. I mash the potatoes with a fork right in the pan forcing them to merge with that great chicken flavor.
On another day I will tell you what I do with some left over chicken breast from this meal.
I make a sweet sour lemon sauce to drizzle on egg dipped and floured breast pieces and serve that over brown rice. Brown's healthier but you might prefer white rice.
Love your adventurous and determined spirit Randy. I have more quick recipes too depending on what you like.. I.e spicy , Asian , mexican etc... Cindy

This was a very good story to read Randy. You really took on an excellent attitude after the car broke down.
Even your silence with the racist man had to be God controlling your tounge. I do see so much more of what you describe living here in the South in comparison to out West. There is a great contrast that I appreciate so much here though having to do with superficiallity verses What you see is what you get mentality that is refreshing to me in comparison to Vegas but that is a different subject than racism.
When I really want to make a point with someone who is racist like you described, my testimony always comes up.
Sometimes it just makes for a radical subject change that gets the loose lipped person talking at me to shut up long enough to realize I'm just another person he feels another type of predjudice about.
God has to do the rest of the convicting from there with those reckless types. I'm always ready to elaborate with this type of person if the shock factor of what he/she just heard from me does not leave them in a stupified state.
For me dramatic scenarios like that provoke the type of response from me that I just described to you,
Glad your car is fixed. Enjoy that vacation!

Always good to read a blog from you Randy. You are a thinker and your musings inspire me to press in and think about specific subjects as well.
Truly what has come to matter most to me,(what has made my life most meaningful), is to see from Gods eternal perspective how to relate to others.
After church Sunday some of our church went over to help a family in our church move. After a few hours I had to head home and let my dog out. a 16 year old daughter of some friends of mine wanted to go home with me. I am really good friends with her parents and after she got her Mom's permission she came with me. I did not hesitate to say come along knowing God reveals his perspective to me in the way I respond and relate to others. (This was a set up...Gods plan for the rest of my Sunday).This daughter had never before had an opportunity for a one on one conversation with me and I knew God would be so part of our interaction.
I intentionally had an eternal perspective (I anticipated God's presence in this allotment of this particular time slot in my life).
This daughter of the Most high(who wanted to come over) is sold out to Jesus.
She is a leader and example in her peer group.
We talked for about 3 hours and I was blessed to know this daughter does live life especially fueled by her imagination of the ideal eternal perspective and its necessity to be incorporated into her daily life.
I had the opportunity as an adult to express to her that I get to live the way I imagine God would want me to live too.
I have such an advantage living as a single because I get more opportunity to refresh and purposely place my self in God's prsence without distraction.
Even this young person does not have as much opportunity to do the same being one of a family of five.
I was able to encourage and reinforce her perspective.This encouragement was neccesary because so many times in her daily activities living among friends and family she does not recognize others living with the same faith to rise above what the devil would use to bring us down.
We bonded and she was reinforced as was I having been reminded through our conversation how to consider every relational circumstance through Gods eternal perspective. Her parents showed up later with their other two daughters and we all had more time together.
It was a very special Sunday.
