regarding relaxation and stuffed chicken

I am sitting at home, hearing thunder rumble in the distance, and smelling the scent of vegetation soaked by 24 hours of rain. My dog is barking at another dog across the street. I am waiting for my parents to be ready to start a movie. It's good to be home, not thinking about much for a couple of weeks. Summer didn't leave a lot of time for rest, between classes, jobs, more jobs, etc. etc. If I were in EL at this exact moment, I would probably be knocking on doors trying to recruit frosh to come to IV.
No offense to those of you who are doing that right now, but I am very much enjoying not having to think and worry about it. You will do a wonderful job, and I am with you in prayer.

I cooked a delicious dinner tonight (no humility here). Thinking up extravagantly creative and original recipes is one of the ways I enjoy relaxing. Tonight it was chicken breasts, stuffed with ricotta, parmesan and mozarella. I covered them with tomatoe sauce and cheese, baked them, and served them with pasta and sauteed zucchini. I would have taken a photo to post, but most of the food was eaten before I thought to.


Anyway, that's the charm of my domestic life these days.
