Salt

Sunday evening we pulled into the driveway after an 8 state, 3,855 mile, 3 week vacation and I realized that I didn't have anything for us to eat.

Luckily my husband informed me that there were some potatoes in the pantry (he bought them before he flew out to join us). We were quickly able to whip up a simple potato bar - potatoes, chili, broccoli, ranch, salt & pepper. It was very simple and nothing special, but it was good to be eating at home.

Then, as I reached over for the salt, I had this huge feeling of gratitude - I was grateful for my salt! Who else can say that they've felt that way before? Probably not many - Yes, I know I'm weird. But I was grateful for my simple little bowl of large grain kosher salt.

It just looks so beautiful and coats those vegetables so well! Oh, it is good to be home!
