I found this amazing recipe last year and it uses the spices Mele taught me how to use - cumin, coriander, turmeric, cinnamon - a big onion, 6 cloves of garlic AND cilantro plus cauliflower, carrots, celery, a big chopped russet potato, heavy cream, chicken broth, lime juice, chickpeas, tomatoes, pumpkin of course - nice middle eastern seasoning. Sooo after buying ALL the ingredients it came to $35.00 and NOT the $20 I had planned on. I always like to add raisins and cashews too. I made 2 big pots of soup planning for 40 people. I have a bunch left over which is fine for me because I like it.

I made 2 pots of soup at the same time and it took over an hour to chop and cook everything. I was exhausted but very happy there was a huge turnout and everyone helped serve and clean up. I was sooo glad when it was over but then that's always how I am. Some people REALLLLY liked it which made me happy but I was expecting more people to be completely converted to it. I met a Fijian missionary. She is almost done as in she has about 4 months left.

This morning I was feeling crappy because after researching Shamus the recruiter for jet.com the E-commerce place that sounds incredible, AND applying online AND trying to get ahold of him on the phone. I've heard absolutely nothing. ALSO I contacted Rodney Moser who is with Century 21 and he didn't respond at all. John told me to be persistent but it feels rather like I am being a pest.

I FINALLY, YES FINALLY received an interview for an associate children's librarian position. It means I'll have to attend the Fort Union ward for the rest of the year since it meets at 9am and switch my temple shift AGAIN if I end up getting the job. We'll just have to wait and see. I also applied for a corporate librarian position at a place at research park near the U. They manufacture products to help diagnose medical ailments more accurately. These are machines that can scan a patient. I would enjoy working there. It is very cutting-edge and for medical devices, research that matters and makes a difference almost immediately.

I also applied for an internal communications position at the city library. It is a full time position and if they are trying to get me working somewhere else so they don't have to interview me for it I will be ticked. There is another associate librarian position posted on the City Library site this time for the Sweet Library. It is the only library I've never been to before in the City system. I want to work somewhere at the City Library so I can even be considered for the Marmalade management position there when it opens in January.
