Day 28/30

Day Twenty eight - A picture from you last year, and now. What has changed since then?





So the one on the left is from January 2010 and the one on the right is from February 2011
What has changed?  Well, I still own that shirt, I'm still wearing those glasses.  My hair is longer and some how lighter, I got my nose ring back in I lost a little weight in between, though lately I feel like it's been finding its way back onto my face.  I am now a recovered Lyme Disease victim, something I never worried about then and to be honest, I don't worry about it now.  I'm also dealing with PCOS, which before I was dealing with it, but not in a helpful way like now; it was more of a "Why is my body doing this to me?!?!?!" kind of way.  Being diagnosed and starting treatment for things tends to do that though. I got my house to a semi perpetual clean state thanks to The House That Cleans Itself.  That was not the case last year. Hannah and I completed a years worth of schooling on a consistent basis, something that we had not done before.  And we're hopefully going to continue to do once we get done being sick and the house starts cleaning itself again.  I suffered the loss of my devoted cat, who would sleep on me and beside me and beg to be held and carried around the house while I did chores.  He was such a little sweetheart, though he never liked Hannah as much as she wanted him to.  That's probably enough reflection for now.  I am still a bit sick and could probably end up going on all day, if I haven't already done so.

Sweet Caroline by Kelda Poynot

  First off, my copy of Sweet Caroline  (aff link) is not a gifted review book, I spent my well earned Amazon No-Rush Rewards money on this book. Second of all, this is not my standard close door kind of romance. Third of all, this is a really fun read. Caroline is a hard working young lady that is doing all that she can to make ends meet and to get her graduate degree. Part of that work is renting out the room above her garage. When she answers the phone of an unknown number, believing it's a future tenant, she has no idea how much her life is about to change.  The young man on the other end of that call, Hashim, is tall, dark, and mysterious in all the right ways. The story quickly moves from the girl next door falling for a stranger to a fight for their lives. And in true real life fashion, those fights aren't just with external enemies but the ones we carry within.  It's an entertaining story of Caroline and Hashim, discovering their love for each other and ...

Loving Disagreement by Kathy Khang and Matt Mikalatos

  If you're human, which I'm assuming you are if you found your way here, there will come a moment in your life when you're right and they're wrong and you're going to have to not win because the relationship is more important than your rightness It might be over where to go to dinner, which type of coat to wear for the weather, what ever it may be, you're going to find yourself there. Khang and Mikalatos have got together and written Loving Disagreement for that exact moment, especially if that exact moment isn't occurring with a loved one but with someone you encountered on the internet or maybe the break room at work, the where and who don't really matter because we can be loving towards anyone, even when we're not in relationship with the offending person. The book uses the concept of the fruit of the spirit to go through different ways to handle conflict. Khang and Mikalatos take turns writing the meat of each section but there's a quite enj...

Tasty Tuesday: Loaded Baked Potato Soup

  I've had loaded baked potato soup on the menu most of the month of November, not really knowing when I was going to make it. Last night was the night. I started with this recipe from Betty Crocker as an idea but as I saw that it served 15 and looked at the various quantities while I cooked, some things changed, and wanted to share the final recipe here so you can enjoy it and I won't forget it.  Loaded Baked Potato Soup serves 3 with seconds and a serving left over 1/2 package of bacon 1 small onion chopped 3 cups chicken broth (I use Better Than Boullion) 2 large baking potatoes, peeled, cubed 2 tbsp butter 2 heaping tbsp all-purpose flour 2 cups milk divided 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2teaspoon freshly ground pepper A generous helping of sour cream 4 oz sharp Cheddar cheese shredded (half a block) separated 2 sliced green onions separated In skillet, cook bacon over medium heat 6 to 7 minutes or until crisp; drain on paper towels.
