Looks can be deceiving

I told you I was going to have to actually cook in order to use all the peaches Trent purchased.  So here it was fresh out of the oven last night.  I found a recipe online with great reviews so I thought 'how could I go wrong?'  I'm telling you this is why I NEVER cook!  I took a bite and it was not good.  Trent took a bite and asked if I put nuts in it.  NO I did NOT put nuts in it.  I was laughing so hard I was crying.  So I still have lots of peaches left and not sure what I'm going to do with them.  He also bought a mess of fresh green beans.  I haven't fixed fresh green beans since I was probably 10!  So I called my grandma earlier to make sure I knew what I was doing there.  I intend on fixing those tonight, we'll see.  I think I disappoint my grandma sometimes.  Often she'll say 'you would have never known you grew up on a farm.'  She doesn't say it to be mean, but I think she is just surprised at how I've turned out in some domestic departments.

Jill called me last night to fill me in on the details of her move thus far.  She says the neighborhood is quiet without the boys around.  Evidentially they got ANOTHER cat.  She didn't tell me but my mom did.  She usually doesn't tell me those kinds of things because she'll hear a lecture.  I knew even with 3 dogs and 3 cats already this was bound to happen.  Her and Layne Nhi have been volunteering on Friday evenings at the Owen county no-kill shelter.  Layne Nhi has been trying to get my mom to adopt some sort of animal companion.  

We've done nothing eventful today.  I'm waiting on some stuff from MCCSC that I need before submitting my application for a NC teaching license.  I'm not sure if my hire with depend on if I get my license transferred or if they have enough to go ahead.  Either way I'm not too worried.  I am relieved that I won't have to worry about a classroom, but I would like to have a key and nose around a bit.  Teachers go back on the 21st, I think, and kids start on the 26th.  I still have plenty of time to get things squared away.

Have you been eating at all your favorite places?  I remember that when Katie came back from Turkey that it took her awhile to get use to american food again.  I suppose Peter can always cook until you find some great places.  Just a few days now!!!
