Today is a momentous day!!!  Well, not really.  Today, while I was at school mom left Tianjin to go to a ladies retreat that will last until Sunday.  So since she left… PARTY!!!!  No, just kidding!!!  So around 5:00pm I found a note that my mom left, it had instructions on it to make Cream of Corn soup (YUM)!   So I started by tying my apron on, then in a matter of an hour or so I had a whole pot of bubbling soup. I felt very much like a mom. I was very proud of myself! This was the first time I had made a main dish for a sit-down-dinner ALL BY MYSELF!!!!   Thankfully I didn’t mix ingredients up like I have in previous attempts of making food,  this time everyone agreed that it actually tasted… normal!
