my stirfry and pasta adventures

So I've had a package of microwavable rice sitting in my pantry since last semester and I had a red bell pepper I was worried would go bad so I decided to make stir fry! I unintentionally bought a head of lettuce (I had meant for it to be cabbage) and chopped it up along with the red pepper and some slices of chicken and put them in the skillet. I cooked the rice and when it was all done I combined them altogether! Now while lettuce is very different from cabbage, it didn't ruin my stir fry in the least :)

Tonight I felt like pasta so I boiled some fettuccine noodles, heated some four cheese alfredo sauce, and threw some chicken and broccoli into a skillet :) It turned out delicious and while Leanna didn't join me in eating it, she said it smelled very good :)

Red, White, and Blue Breakfast

So while this isn't technically cooking, it does involve food so I'm gonna say it anyway :)

Leanna bought cream cheese and bagels this week and told me to help her finish them (thanks Leanna!). So as I was fixing my half of a bagel, I decided to put some raspberry/blackberry preserve/jam/stuff on top. SO delicious! After I made it I noticed how it was white and red and if you put some blueberries on top you'd have the perfect breakfast for the Fourth of July! haha :) So I may have to try that...

A friend told me about another breakfast idea where you make a sandwich with cream cheese and raspberry/blackberry jam/stuff and then french toast the sandwich (dip it in eggs and cook it). She said it's amazing and I am going to HAVE to test it out some time! :)

Dating in the Sea of Life

Life is like being in the sea and we're all trying to keep our heads above water. Sometimes you find a boat with someone, but for whatever reason you either get tossed out to sea or you jump off the boat and you're back to treading water. Dating is this whole process of finding stability and getting tossed out to sea again and again until you find the person who will share their boat with you for eternity. Now you may face rough storms and waves, but you will be together throughout and you won't be tossed out on your own again.
