Would I be vain to have a big ole wall mural of my face? Lol

I think that this is pretty cool. If you could get a wall mural of any photograph what would you have on your wall?

Update: It's been less than a month

Great results so far, don't you think?

When God's Timing Is Taking Too Long

by Joyce Meyer

We all want good things to happen in our lives, but too often we want it now...not later. When it doesn't happen that way, we are tempted to ask, "When, God, when?" Most of us need to grow in the area of trusting God instead of focusing on the "when" question. If you're missing joy and peace, you're not trusting God. If your mind feels worn out all the time, you're not trusting God.

The tendency to want to know about everything that's going on can be detrimental to your Christian walk. Sometimes knowing everything can be uncomfortable and can even hurt you. I spent a large part of my life being impatient, frustrated and disappointed because there were things I didn't know. God had to teach me to leave things alone and quit feeling that I needed to know everything. I finally learned to trust the One who knows all things and accept that some questions may never be answered. We prove that we trust God when we refuse to worry.

Fat Post of the Week: How to Eat a Cupcake

Jorge Garcia (Hurley from "Lost") posted a brilliant way to eat a cupcake on his blog many moons ago. Since then I have been eating it this way and it truly does taste better, here is how:

You start with the cup cake.


First you peel away the paper. (Trust me it gets better.)


Then tear off the bottom portion of the cupcake.


Place the torn-off portion on top where the frosting is.


Give it a little squeeze.


And there you have it. Eat it like a cream-filled cake sandwich.


Brilliant? I know!

What's for Dinner?

Today I made Butter Crusted Tilapia, Broccoli & Cauliflower Medley and Macaroni & Cheese (Well, I prefer to use mostaccioli pasta as opposed to elbow macaroni pasta. It tastes the same but the texture is a little different).

I could have used a prettier piece of tilapia, I didn't noticed how flawed this was until I uploaded the picture. It's torn and the edges are a little dark. It shole tasted great though! Here is what I did:

Butter Crusted Tilapia Ingredients

Tilapia Filets
1/2 Stick of Butter
Bread Crumbs
Lemon Pepper
Garlic Powder
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Adobo
Olive Oil
Fresh Lemon Wedges

Preparation:

I cleaned the Tilapia filets and then laid them on a plate. I then melted the butter in a pot on the stove as I prepared my crust.

For the crust, I mixed bread crumbs,lemon pepper, garlic powder, seasoning salt and adobo in a bowl.

I heated up a frying pan with a little olive oil in it

Took a few tablespoons of the butter,poured them over a few pieces of tilapia, rubbed it, dipped it in crust mix, fully coated it on both sides, then put it in the frying pan. I cooked it for 3-4 minutes on both sides in medium heat.

For eating, I like to squeeze a few wedges of lemon over my fish. It makes it a little more yummy.

Macaroni and Cheese Ingredients

Box of Mostaccioli
8 oz of evaporated milk (or 8 oz of white milk)
4 eggs
stick of butter
mild cheddar cheese
Monterey jack cheese
Colby Cheese
Parmesan Cheese
Lawry's Seasoning Salt
Adobo
Garlic Powder
Black Pepper
Paprika

I pre-heated the over to 375, boiled hot water then added mostaccioli to the boiling hot water.

While the mostaccioli is boiling, I pulled out a sauce pan to make my bechamel (white sauce): I melted the butter, then added the milk, 4 eggs, and seasoning then set the pan to the side until I'm ready for it.

When the mostaccioli is al dente, I drained the water out then put the pot back on the stove. I poured the bechamel from the sauce pan into the pot of mostaccioli and mixed it. I them proceded to add half of my four cheese mixture until it melts.

I pulled out a long lasagna pan, sprayed it with non stick spray and poured some of the contents into the lasagna pan. I spreaded it out with a spoon them covered it up with more cheese. I poured the rest in the pan making another layer, spreaded it out, then covered that with cheese.

I sprinkled paprika on top, popped it in the oven and baked it for about 40 minutes.

I let it cool for about 15-20 minutes making sure that the bechamel geled good.

Broccoli and Cauliflower Medley

It's just frozen Broccoli and Cauliflower added to boiled water and a little seasoning. It was simple and good. LOL
