I had inspection style Yom Kippur dreams last night. I had a dream that I was having a dream that I accidentally ate some corn. (Why is there so much corn in my dreams?) I was so relieved when I woke up and had not broken my fast. I went to Yom Kippur services at the synagogue in the city. It still isn't my favourite but it is more convenient than the others. They also try to be student friendly. Services ended at noon and didn't restart till 4:45 so I went home. I stopped at the grocery store on my way home to pick up food for break fast. I was avoiding using my phone but I must have been sending out mental distress signals because Kat came and saved me as I was struggling home with 4 bags of food. I spent all afternoon cooking and had 5 friends over to help me celebrate break fast. One of which is a Jewish but didn't fast. My day and fast was rather reflective and meaningful and I was very happy to have friends to celebrate with. For break fast I made: strawberry basil tart, banana cake, quinoa stuffed baby peppers(I changed that one a bit), spinach dip, jalapeño cheese bread, tomato mozzarella polenta, pizza pinwheels, apricot-honey ice cream, broccoli fritters, and peach guacamole. We did a pretty good job of it but there were still plenty of left overs.
