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.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migas

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.

A new day...or is it?

.

When the light shines over the horizon....

A new day usually is announced when the light shines over the horizon...But what kind of day? One thinks of light and new day as a natural consequence of the rhythm of time and life. Today is no exception though...

For the sake of discussion, it must be settled as the only logical explanation for what's happened in the face of relentless chaos in one's life. A new day approaches and a new hope brings the idea of re-new energy as only hope can provide.

My energy comes in various forms-today; it may as well be an image but when I look out the window and contemplate such a fine figure...I know things will be all 'right!

As he stood out in the front deck, (Seemingly in his own world) surveying the area for some remodeling we've planned before Winter arrives; I thought of a younger man whose only perspective and goal was the love for his family...He stood and I watched him proudly for a while; and a while longer indeed!

We derive strength from each other. He's the tower while I consider myself the re-enforcing steel holding the tower in-place...and, I think...in fact I know he feels same. This is where our team becomes one...The power to understand and complement each other. Just a light announces a new day we announce each other's presence. As we should!!!....

Let's....

Have a great week

Its Friday....

The idea of writing my blog is not one I look forward to...yet it provides me the opportunity to un-wind, release some frustration and escape into my books and thoughts as no other medium can provide...




Once the intellect and powers of reason fail, cognition overtake us in a most devastating way it seems not possible to recognize those who at one very crucial time of our lives provided shelter food and the protection we all desire for basic survival needs.



It is my intention to enjoy every minute detail of our lives ahead...savoring every morsel of sanity for that which we cannot control will soon overtakes us in a unrecognizable manner...the smells of coffee early in the morning; eggs prepared so basically seems to acquire new meaning when seen from the eyes of someone who's powers of reason are less than optimum....



What is there to wait and hope for? but the joy of today's events...and sometimes even such are rarely continued in a logical order...

eggs ready to be enjoyed....

or maybe some grilled onions just harvested this morning from the garden...the red kind, of course...mixed with some mushrooms and perhaps garlic from the garden also....

And one more item...the sounds of rain!! especially in this part of Texas during the month of mid-July...wow! a rare combination when served @ the Veranda by the garden where the daisies bordered each of the flower beds.....I'm in heaven!!

I do hope everyone has a beautiful and pleasant wekend..Ricky, cheers my buddy! hugs to Laura...

I shall be waiting...and to Julia, I am waiting for you to start your blog my dear one!!
