VEGAN CHILI AND CORNBREAD

My day started out with a tsunami alert when I woke up this morning. That was a bit of a shock. Everything is fine now. My thoughts are with the Kingdom of Tonga and their people. 

A few years ago I met some people from Tonga when my neighbor worked on a documentary about Tonga. He invited me over to his house to meet them. They were so interesting and told stories and performed. I hope they are okay 

Then I spent time talking to my sister-in-law about storage options. She is so great about organizing. I chose an option I think will work. I need something to put my baking stuff in. I am overloaded with cooking and baking items. 

Then I tried to return a sweatshirt I accidentally bought from Amazon. I thought I bought the long sleeved T-shirt. Amazon gave me money back and told me to keep the sweatshirt. After all the money I spend at Amazon I guess I got a bonus. Ha ha. 

Then I talked to my friend about redecorating my kitchen. Not painting but changing up my pictures. She is an artist and helps me with these things. 

I made chili and cornbread for dinner. I needed a comfort meal today. It has three types of beans. 

I put some vegan cheese on it to eat it. 

I got some sad and unexpected news today. My step aunt passed away in her sleep. I am not sure it has hit me yet. She lived close to me but because of COVID I haven't seen her in over two years. She had her moments when she was awful funny and caring. I know she loved me because she told me and I told her. 

Until tomorrow..
