Today I went swimming at the gym since the weather was overcast and I didn't feel like going for my normal Sunday bike ride. Towards the end of my swim this lovely Asian grandmother walked in and sat near where I had left my bag. As I got my bag, I asked the lady if the children in the pool were her grandchildren. She placed her hand over her heart, smiled and said "I no english." I asked her were she was from and she replied "I China." This time, in halting bad Chinese I asked her if those were her grandchildren in the pool and this time she lit up and replied that they were. There are few things that warm my heart more then the smile of a proud grandmother, no matter what language they speak.
I am sadly, broke. I have $2 left from my $100 and about 2 weeks left to go. I spent my money going to the Florida State Fair with a classmate and her roommates. It was fun and the fair was HUGE. I enjoyed spinny ride that spun you both round and round and upside down. It was a good ride:-) One of the girls and I were on a quest for pickles, crispy, golden fried pickles with a side of ranch dressing. While it did take an hour to find the fried pickles, they were worth it! Its been years since I had fried pickles, probably since I was waitressing in undergrad.
Also tonight, I again made my Spicy Cheese Grits with Black Beans, they are becoming one of my favorite dishes. I love it when create a new dish and it actually turns out great.
