Black Bean Bake

So y’all know I have a thing for Leo, right?

Well, it’s more than a thing. It’s not an obsession, though. Obsession makes it sound like I’m a little off my rocker. Simply not the case.

I’ve loved him with my entire being since I was 6-years-old. I’m not trying to be cute. I really have felt a cerebral connection to him for the vast majority of my life.

Last night was a big night for us. L has won Golden Globes before, but this one is different. Everyone felt it. Did you see his peers (inaccurate because he is superior to them but he’s just so humble) stand to their feet when he won? They know it, too. It’s his year.

I just feel so lucky to be a small part of his success.

    I’m really excited because I have all these ingredients in my pantry right now! Will have to make. Did you see Leo’s reaction to Lady Gaga bumping into him at the Golden Globes?
