#reverb10: Make (Chicken Soup for the Soul edition)

 
Days six of the #reverb10: Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it?
A few weeks ago I discovered a local restaurant that makes a DYNOMITE lemon chicken soup, Greek style I believe. 
I killed myself to find a comparable recipe but found one online that I think approximates it here. 
My favorite part? It is ridiculously easy. And fun to mess with!
I've made several batches now and now are quite the same.
I experiment each time- in part to see if I can replicate the original soup (impossible!), but also because I like the variations.
The lesson here? Catching lightning in a bottle is hard, but trying to catch it CAN be just as worth while so why not at least try?
The other thing I made from this is a happy wife. She LOVES the soup concoctions and is a willing guinea pig each time. You never know what you might be doing that will make someone else happy!
What would I like to do if I had the materials? I LOVE to experiment in the kitchen so ANY time as an excuse is fine and with some Christmas vacation coming, there will be food experiments coming!

A #New365

Well, I was sort of looking for my NEW 365daysofHappyforTodd. I found it. Today, starts a new clock towards towards the end of another year. A New Year. I'll be kind, but for those that know- please help me celebrate.  I could get all #cliche and talk about #newme #startingover #yadayadayada But, I don't want to. I just want to commemorate. Not a lot of people looked or cared about #365DaysofHappyforTodd That's okay. I was doing it for me.  I would like your best "getting through" song though- that would be cool!  Just like this #NewTodd sounds lame right?

New Life

  It's weird, sad and slightly freeing. I've been headed towards a completely different life for a lot longer than I even knew. It took me a while to catch up to realize it was happening.  Thankfully, I was cognizant enough to see it finally and mostly ready for it. It's amazing when you have the rug completely pulled out from underneath you. The adjustments are jarring.  I made mistakes, but like most I learned from them, adapted, and tried my best to do better. The reason you see that truck next to a storage place? That's the sum of my life right now.  Never take for granted that you will work hard for something or someone, and it will end up meaning very little. You are guaranteed nothing, owed nothing, promised nothing. Anything and everything can be taken away in a heartbeat.  I wrote this to my kids a while back: I tried to be the best father I could be based on what I knew when I knew it and how I could. One of the lessons for your life needs to be: you n...
