April Cooking Adventures #1

By -
If you have ever checked out National Day Calendar you will have noticed that every day celebrates at least one type of food. I gathered together some recipes last month for the food days this month.

Check out the board to see what is coming up. I've added at least two recipes for each day.

Continuing in the Pin it, make it tradition I pinned these two recipes then made them with some mixed results.

Below that is a quick look at the health qualities of the fruit (lime) and the vegetable (avocado) that I am experimenting with this month

Cooking Experiments April 1-10
The Recipe's I TriedNailed it or A FailChanges ECT

Guaca-hummus by Copycat
my version- I'm calling it a fail but it did taste good		I used greek yoghurt instead of the olive oil, lime instead of lemon and no other seasonings.

I used a can chickpeas and decided to mash them rather than use the processor, that was my big error so instead of smooth it was kinda lumpy

my version - Pale but tasty- Nailed it		I added the chili paste in the wrong spot, adding it after I had added the coconut milk which altered the outcome I think.

Other than that I followed the recipe as best I could even going to a Chinese grocer to get the right ingredients

Hello March

May the sun be with us! Except with the quiet coming of March be on the lookout for at least one more big storm before the end of the month. I love the sun but I always hope March comes in like a lion so that it will go out like a lamb. I can deal with cold and snow early in the month but I always wish for the beauty of sun and green buds on the trees at the end of it.

So where did the phrase 'In like a lamb, out like a lion' come from?

There are several ideas:

While many sayings are base on observation and are accurate, others are the rhymes and beliefs of those who came before us.
Those folks actually believed that bad spirits could change the weather adversely, so they were cautious as to what they did or didn't do in certain situations.  Those beliefs also included ideas that there could be a balance in weather and in life. So if the weather came in bad, (like a lion) it could go out good and calm. (like a lamb)
Since March is such a changeable month in which we can see…

When I started this post I intended to write something entirely different but I am very disturbed at the moment by a conversation I just had on instant messenger and I want to share it with you. Tell me do you think I am wrong to take this stance or not? The grey is my daughter the blue is me

Hey.. do you happen to have $25 to $30 we can borrow until the end of the month?
Mom Cherylann
I am flat broke
maybe $3 to my name
I don't have enough lunch stuff to get us through until the end of the month because we can't send them with peanut butter. We don't have soup or anything food banks are closed and Dean has school all.day tomorrow so no way to go to the food banks. We are in a pretty bad predictiment.

Whoohoo!

Next to physical survival, the greatest need of a human being is psychological survival—to be understood, to be affirmed, to be validated, to be appreciated.
Covey, Stephen R.. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change (p. 253). RosettaBooks. Kindle Edition. Whoa! Something most people don't even consider that! Psychological survival is just as important as physical survival. How many of us actually feel like we are understood, validated, appreciated, like our feelings count too?

I don't. Not at all. The people in my life try or at least pretend to try but not one of them actually sees the real person inside the skin I present to them. Most of them don't want to know, they are so wrapped up in their needs and wants that they have no time to notice that while I'm present, a lot of the time I am not PRESENT.
But joy is the absence of fear. Joy is your soul’s knowledge that if you don’t get the promotion, keep the relationship, or buy th…
