Insatiable

Recently I reconnected with my gay uncle who lives in Las Vegas. I haven’t seen him since my age was in the single digits. He and I had a great hour long chat, which for me is a big deal seeing as though I hate talking on the phone. We talked about everything from vacations to boys; he is a blast and a half! 

I got a phone call today from my father telling me he spoke with my uncle and that they talked about me. After a long dragged out conversation he said “So why I keep talking about your uncle is because he told me that you came out to him. *long pause* I really wish you would have told me yourself. I just want you to know nothing will change at all and I love you all the same.” After another pause I respond with a giggle “Well I thought you already knew but well there you go!” My dad is great and really does love me unconditionally, it is known throughout my family that I am his favorite “and always will be.”

Aside from the gifts I got for my mother I also came up with a cook with mom day. So my mother and I went grocery shopping together and then cooked. I really did have a blast with her and I don’t even care for cooking that much. I made a Greek salad with red onions, black olives, feta cheese and Greek dressing (from scratch). I also made jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese that was mixed with parmesean cheese and wrapped in brown sugar smothered bacon. My mom made some Chicken Picatta (from scratch) with angel hair pasta and we topped it off with some white wine spritzers and pie. Kind of a mix of random cultures but this meal was AMAZING I had to pat myself on the back considering that really was the first time I have ever cooked… that’s kind of sad I know.  I really wish I would have taken some photos.
