i just thought...

another way to describe it is
rain with thunderstorms is like:
first you have this raw slab of meat... you don't want to eat it totally raw, but you don't want to overcook the thing either... so the thunderstorms come in and bring the perfect temperature and the perfect timing to make a rump roast into a fillet mignon seared to perfection, all bloody pink on the inside...mmmmm

sorry to all you vegetarians out there...

for the vegan i would say
it's like first you got all these random veggies that are flooding your house... total inconvenience right... well the lightning is like calling in the worlds top chefs, to make a million soufflee's, and casseroles, and soups, and salads, and appetizers and you name it, your heart's delight times a thousand, and then you throw this big party and invite everyone and it's a big hit, and people are like, wow i never knew vegetarians could eat so good...
gosh... i really do get carried away...
food is my other main love, as anyone who knows me knows... so i can't help but compare really wonderful things to food...

i actually was a vegan for a while, and a raw foodist for a time too...

not sure why i eat meat again really,
it started a few years back with God teaching me to have a thankful heart, and to gladly recieve any food offered me without complaint, especially in a time of need... but it still wasn't my preference...
then when i married my husband, i wondered how i was going to creatively cook everyday for an avid meat eater..
but since i first got pregnant with adora, my body has craved it near as much as water and air.. not joking.. i used to make fun oh my dad for having to eat meat with every meal... now it's me, all the way...
i'm really hoping to cut down a little though soon... at least on the fatty meats, which are my favorite...as also mentioned, i am italian after all....mmmm sausage.....
anyway...
i think i'm finding myself in a bit of a rambling mood lately...
wonder how long it'll stick around for...


oh yeah.. and the whole hyenna eating the cake thing... that was also a semi-subconcious effort to give sweets a bad image in my mind, as i'm still trying to avoid them, what with the threat of thrush and all... and it being lent.. a time to really be serious about things, sometimes people fast and/or abstain from specific things.. i can't fast right now with a baby to feed, but i really need to avoid sugar.. and with my tending to compare things to food... i kept getting images of pies and ice cream and cake and hot fudge and caramel and cookies and candy and other treats when trying to describe how much i loved thunderstorms...
i think what i'm trying to say is, '' can't wait to eat a stinking bowl of sugar already'!!!!!

We get some awesome lightning and thunderstorms up here at the LL. I have definitly felt the fear of the Lord thru some of them. my goodness. I am also a midwesterner. I love thunderstorms. I also like heat lightning. And I've been in a couple tornados, it is freaky when the silence of the eye comes.

Is rain without lightning like having a beautiful cheesecake with a ribbon of blueberry through the middle, and you start eating and realize the crust tastes like gasoline because your husband forgot to tell you he spilled gas on the grahm crackers in the back of the car? True story.
