supper :)

This whole semester I've had pretty bad eating habits. Tonight I got home and, as usual, didn't want to cook. No energy, no time (still fairly sick on top of normal everything). As I walked in the door I thought, a hot fajita sounds so good (I think maybe I spelled DeeDee's food - but maybe it was just my imagination thinking of good food). Then, as I set my belongings down, I thought, the sad thing is I have chicken but it's frozen and I don't care enough to thaw it. About 1 1/2 minutes later I remembered - ta da! - I have canned chicken in the fridge. It's from the church cannery (I inherited when moving into an apartment that had a cupboard full of food) and it's quite good chicken. So I cooked up an onion on low heat so it was perfect, then threw in the chicken and warmed it through. In the mean time I grated some Creamery cheese (my hoard from Kathryn) and warmed a couple of corn tortillas. Put them all together into little taco things and - perhaps the best part - squeezed on some fresh lime. It was all scrumptious!! And fast, but actually healthy, real food. Amazing! It was just a highlight of my day. And now that I've written about it and thought about it - maybe a highlight (not the, just a) of my week. I love supper!
