beans

Last night before the RS Broadcast, they had an enrichment type of activity. There was the usual putting together of hygeine kits (which got done in like 20 minutes) and then we ate beans...a lot of beans. They had some tables set up about food storage but they were always crowded so I only stopped by one. The beans made me laugh, though. There were a lot of soups, some salads, some bean brownies, and some pinto bean pie. I have eaten pinto bean fudge before so I guess I shouldn't have been surprised but, it still made me laugh. It tasted like pumpkin pie...but not quite (I guess it had the same kind of spices). I didn't know you could make so many things with beans. The brownies were interesting (not as tasty as real ones)...you take a brownie mix and instead of eggs and oil, put in a can of pureed black beans (with the liquid). Less fat, more protein.

In Nashville, there were speakers, workshops, dinner and some games. Nothing out of the ordinary. But good, nonetheless (is that a word?).

Wow, this last month has gone by quickly. This will be short (I still have to go into work for an hour today and get ready for the RS Broadcast).

I moved a couple of weeks ago. I still haven't unpacked. Okay, so today I unpacked my food and some other random stuff. The thought of unpacking just isn't very exciting.

I went to a YSA conference in Nashville last weekend. That was fun.

Last night the YSA here went bowling and that was a lot more fun than I expected. I bowled an 85 (I was expecting to get 30), 145, and...I forget what the last one was..probably around 80 or 90. The 145 was pure luck.
