Come Get Blessed

I had a coworker long ago who had worked in a Mo's burritos and she taught me the tricks: warm the tortilla up (I use a damp paper towel and the microwave), pile the stuff in the middle, fold the sides up, then sort of scoop up the fillings as you go with the long end nearest you. It helps to have a sort of moldable filling; I shredded up some romaine and tossed it with tzatziki sauce, then put chopped grilled chicken on top. I like to wrap them in wax paper right after they're wrapped to keep the tortilla soft as it cools down. Plus it looks sharp af when you cut em.

Side note, we grew the tomatoes in the salad. It also has the last few chunks of cauliflower from the fridge and a can of white beans because Zach stocked us up twice in a row on them and we are good on white beans 😄

Sometimes on a hot day, we eat pre-made food. Because of my MS, I experience heat intolerance, so it's not even that I hate being hot and sweaty (I absolutely do), it's that I just start to...stop, when it gets much over 87 or so. So I have only been cooking very sporadically, and we've been eating out of boxes more than usual. And that's fine, eating is the goal, and if you ate today you're winning. If you haven't, let me know.

But the other day my friend brought by a goodly amount of beautiful cherry tomatoes, and I hooked her up with some mint jelly. And I threw some of those cherry tomatoes into my skillet with some garlic and stuff, and just sort of walked away (to the living room, where it's cooler). And it was just perfect for our pre-made cheese ravioli and salad kit.

Blessings for my dear friend L, who thought of me and let me know it, right when I needed a boost. May your work bear fruit, may your dreams take root and grow, may you know the kind and diligent care you show to others.
