Breakfast for today!

Breakfast for today, Friday October 1-2010!

Migas is one of those dishes traditionally made by each household to utilize the leftover tortillas after the day is done. The following day those tortillas were usually a bit hardened which made for perfect "Leftover bits" or as we called them around our house...Migas

My recipe for migas:

1. Four corn tortillas diced..

2. chopped onion as desired

3. chopped cilantro as desired

4. jalapeno peppers diced to taste...

5. olive oil to grill all ingredients

6. four eggs

7. Sometime I'll grill and add some Italian sausage or chopped ham or bacon...

8. cheese of your choice (as much or little as you like)

9. salt/pepper to taste

In a pan place some oil...start out with small amount and add as needed. When oil is hot add tortillas, onion peppers and grill as much or little as you like. (Prefer mine crisp) next add eggs, cilantro, pepper, salt to taste. Last add crumbled cheese. Sometime I'll use mozzarella, other times I'll add some goat cheese or just cheddar whichever is in my fridge...



Hot coup of coffee and you're set.

Enjoy
(Migas are a traditional dish in Spanish cuisine. Originally eaten as a breakfast that made use of leftover bread or tortillas, today migas are a fashionable first course served for lunch and dinner in restaurants in Spain.^[1] Some historical sources associate the origins of this dish to North African couscous.)

The ingredients of migas vary across the provinces of Spain. In Extremadura, this dish includes day-old bread soaked in water, garlic, pimentón, olive oil, and contains spinach or alfalfa; often served with pan-fried pork ribs.^[2][3] In Teruel, Aragon, the migas include chorizo and bacon, and are often served with grapes.^[4]

Hope you'll have a great Friday

Conversation....How?

Conversation....How?

Have you ever fpound yourself in the situation when your mind is blank and devoid of all thoughts? or have you found yourself trapped in that familiar social horror: being faced with a complete stranger and wanting more than anything to break the silence which stretches out awkwardly between you. In these situations, you need some sure-fire fallbacks guaranteed to break the ice and start a conversation.

What's your body language saying?



Pay attention to the messages you're sending out with your body. Are you frowning at the room in general with folded arms? Are you standing rigidly with a pasted-on smile, looking like you're frozen to the spot? If so, you're sending out very clear signals which warn people to steer clear of you because you're just not interested in engaging with them.



Take a deep breath, unclench your fists, relax your body and smile broadly. Move around the room, starting with the most approachable people. Make sure that your body language states that you are interested and relaxed and here to meet people. Make plenty of eye contact as you smile - these are the keys to making a stranger feel relaxed and welcome as they approach you. Positive body language substantially reduces the risk of rejection when mingling with strangers - if you're relaxed and smiling, even shy people are more likely to feel comfortable enough to come right up and start chatting.


Polish up your conversational style

One of the best conversation tips we can give you is to be a good listener -

pay very close attention to how the other person responds and steet away

from the conversation topics that fail to get their enthusiasm.
