Howdy, This tough old bird continues to write about birds...how bizarre! Yesterday made my version of minestone soup using chicken. Yes, I used a fresh, young chicken. And by now you might have figured out that I myself am not a spring chicken.
Do I care? Not any more. Luckily, I look younger than my age/no plastic surgery thanks...So I was able to lie for years pretending to be fifteen years younger than I was.
Part of the reason for this is the fact that I have a child-like enthusiasm for life and this attitude didn't seem to mesh with my real age. Aren't I suppose to grow up and try to put on an air of maturity? Maybe, but this isn't fun is it? Also, many of my best friends are at least ten years younger than I am and I felt that if I told them my TRUE age they would drop me like a hot potato. So....I would never own up to the facts.
But lately, something has happened. I finally feel good in my own skin. I have overcome a learning disability and ADD and low self esteem because of these disabilities. I really feel that ADD has actually been a gift because it allowed me to be very creative.
I have found my passion in clay sculptures, photography, gardening, and creative cooking. All my recipes are original and instead of being focused on measuri
ng I focus on taste. Yesterday I made a wonderful chicken minestrone soup using garden fresh tomatoes and homemade stock. Recipe to follow.
