My family has always eaten a lot of fresh vegetables because my grandmother has a bountiful garden which she maintains and cans the produce from. My mom likes to cook a lot of different delicacies and tries new recipes from a multitude of cultures. One night we might be having tilapia filets and the next were having lentil soup and sweet potatoes. Because of this I also like to try lots of new food and be creative when I cook as well. I have the luxury of eating home grown food prepared by my grandmother and unique blends of culture that my mom prepares. I wouldn't say I have a favorite meal, but I have found out you can't really go wrong with soup. I have eaten more kinds of soup than I can name.
One of my favorite quotes which I have had saved as the wallpaper on my phone for years. "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always." - Anonymous It doesn't have a definite author, but I love these words so much because it is a constant reminder to love people and give them the benefit of the doubt. It says always, not occasionally, not when you feel good, not when you like the person, but to be kind every second of every day. I really like the message of this quote which is why I reference it often.
A skink I caught in the bathroom at scout camp. He bit me, but it didn't hurt at all. A baby corn snake in my yard recently. I moved him to the woods so my cats wouldn't bother him. A frog I found in the preserve at Catawba. He blended in with the tree bark very well.
