“I turn my eyes to the mountains; from where will my help come? My help comes from the LORD, maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot give way; your guardian will not slumber…” —Psalm 121:1-3

I’m reading this now. BTW, this is a great museum, and it’s walking distance from my apartment.

People are desperate for leadership, but from whence shall it come?

I’m roasting a chicken tonight and since David has a cold I’m making chicken soup after. I spatchcocked the bird and now I’m dry brining it with salt & rosemary rubbed under the skin & baking powder on top, a little trick for xtra crispy skin. I’ll prick the skin all over & roast it at 400°.

Here’s another book I have read before and will be reading again. It takes me two or three times through a book before I remember much of it, so that’s my process to learn even though it’s extra hard for me.
