Open House & The Struggle of Food

Open House:

So open house was amazing!  So many great students and families!  It was so much fun to meet almost the entire class!  I even had a student bring in flowers for me!  A very kind gesture, and a great change of foliage from the typical cacti seen around Yuma.  It was very fun.  I am thrilled to have such a great class, and looking forward to the first day on Thursday!  Tomorrow (which is Wednesday) is the first day of Kinder, so I get the honor of helping out and hanging out with some fantastic kind kindergarten students!  It will be a joy to see our youngest learners at our school!  

The Struggle of Food:

I think this whole blog could be an epic saga of my continual struggle with cooking.  Yesterday I decided to be somewhat lazy (but not completely lazy which is ordering a pizza), and decided to make a can of chicken noodle soup.  This was a cheap discounted Walmart can, but nonetheless it was still simply soup that needed to be warmed up.  So I poured the can out into the pan and I cooked it.  Fairly easy process.  When I started to eat it, however, I noticed that it was surprisingly salty.  Now, because my Dad eats a low sodium diet, I was thinking that I was just used to less salty meals, but it even in that, it was fairly salty.  I ate about two-thirds of it until I could not stand the salt and threw the rest away.  I then checked the can to see how much salt it was. This is what I saw.

So it had around 2,000mg of sodium, and I ate a good amount of it...I discovered the valuable cooking directions of Condensed soup:  add water.  Yeah....Forgot that step. Whoops.  Learned my lesson, and I will read what type of soup I get next time!
