Cooking... Its what I do.

So today I had the wonderful experience of going with a friend of mine (Inez) to volunteer at a residencia (dormatory for all boys). It was parents day. We were cooking for 100 people. I thought to myself... 100 thats nothin. I got this. haha. Get this they get their clothes washed and their beds made for them. Que Suerte!! Anyhow I knew I was in for a good time right when I entered. because everyone was so nice and welcoming and not afraid to talk to me.
We went into the kitchen. I looked over and there was someone cleaning the oven ... scrubbin oh so hard! I thought to myself I feel your pain. It wasnt a griddle but it was just as greasy. Then they put me to work. You know what I realized... cooking is the same all over the world. I mean I guess you have to take that statement with a grain of salt. but it has the same basic principles. you still make stock by boiling chicken or vegetables depending on what kinds of stock you make. Even though everyone there spoke spanish I felt like I was comfortable. Because all I had to do was cook. I can cook. Its something I can do. Every so often people would talk to me asking me questions and I would answer back and giggle. My phrase of the day was "INTIENDO!" (I understand!)
Its funny that i am going to say this. But kitchen people get me. they just do. HAHA. It is seriously where I belong. I immediately felt like I belonged with this group of girls. It was amazing. I even almost did my laugh. YUP one day and my laugh almost came out. That would have freaked them out i am pretty sure so I suppressed it. haha. I did laugh a lot though. And I fit in. And they invited me back. I spoke a lot of spanish. and did business with the boss. and wore a uniform. And loved the girls. It was great. And i am going back every weekend. so i am stoked. I have no deep thoughts to share. but i did want to share the excitement. If I was saying Noahs name it would go a little bit like this: NOOOOAAAAAHHHHHH!!! so many freakin feelings. i am just so happy! hahahahah. oh life. it throws stuff at you doesnt it! gotta stay calm though so my stomach doesnt get upset. that is never fun.hahaha oh and another thing i am excited about: going to Germany to visit jack next weekend!!! he best be prepared!!! :) See this post is a little bit better than the last few i hope. even though its just me spewing out all of my excitement and not a whole lot of thoughtfulness. there will be thoughtfulness to come! I promise!! LOVE YOU ALL!
We were done with cooking finally and we went to sit and eat
