~:[CH7 - Day 351]:~ With Time to Spare
I rushed out after school because I knew that I had to write two tests and also do some cooking for the soup kitchen tomorrow, so I jetted out and headed to the market. After I ran into person after person, I finally got out of there and started prepping to cook. People rarely realize what actually goes into the saltado as the dish is mainly composed of chicken, onions, cilantro, tomatoes and french fries; however, the sauce has cabbage, red bell peppers, three types of peppers, cilantro, onions and garlic. Thus, the afternoon was spent chopping away, but somehow it was quite therapeutic. I took breaks as I did to focus on writing my test, I edited some photos and took care of some logistical planning for MUN. As I converted the saltado de pollo into a soup, I got more done and realized I finished more than what I had hoped for the night. I wondered if this is what I've been missing all these years. I normally don't get home until at least 7pm and so getting home at about 4pm was a dream and that extra three hours felt like an eternity. While I would get bored if I did that too long, it felt nice as I enjoy the evening cooking and getting work done without a load of stress on my shoulders. I chatted with friends and started getting things prepped for the holidays. I finished with time to spare and while I will be waiting on my soup through the night, it was nice to not have to stress too much as the holidays quickly approach. I am read, are you?
