My greatest invention!

As lunchtime was drawing nearer and nearer, my mind began to wander (surprise, surprise) on what I was going to make for lunch today. I took a mental inventory of the ingredients in my nearly-bare cupbord....tuna, spinach, bell peppers, celery, tortilla shells and a few other odds and ends. So I had the idea....what about a tuna burrito?! "Genius idea, Kate!" I said to myself. But I knew I didn't want the classic tuna...relish, mustard, mayo....boring. So here's what I came up with (measurements are not exact...I just dumped):

3 oz tuna
2-3 tbs mayo
celery
raisins
curry powder
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. minced garlic
dash of cinnamon
dash of ground cloves
splash of lemon juice

Mix it up, slap it on a tortilla and top with cheese, wrap into a burrito and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and VOILA! Pure deliciousness! Best experiment, ever! Try it!

[I ate it too fast to take a picture. So, maybe next time...]

BIG news!

Starting with the lesser of the two major life changes...

...I discovered the awesomeness that is the ALDI grocery store!



Oh my goodness! How have I lived for 24 years and not known about it's greatness?! And similarly....how does everyone not shop there?! Granted their selection is a bit limited, but seriously, avocados for $1.00!?!?! Bell peppers for $2.00!?! They even have those fancy schmancy scales that tell you your body fat and everything for like $15.00! I'm pretty sure the most expensive item is no more than $30.00. I bought a fantastic 9x13" ceramic baking dish for $6.00!! Are you hearing me, people?! ALDI ROCKS! Who cares if you have to make a second stop at Walmart or Kroger to pick up a few odds and ends. It's totally worth cutting your grocery costs in half! For real, my friends....get on it.

And secondly....

...I WAS ACCEPTED INTO THE AIR FORCE HEALTH PROFESSIONS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM!!! 





WOOOOOOOOOOO!! I'M GOING TO BE A 2nd LIEUTENANT LIKE AMY LUKE!!! AND! Hopefully she will be the one to commission me! How awesome is that?! I feel so incredibly blessed to have received such an amazing gift. I can't wait to begin this new adventure! Praise God! :)
