Status Update #2

Snippets

• I just finished up my "Working Willingly" tasks today. I love accountability, it's such a beautiful concept-- a concept that could have only been designed by our Lord. Glory to God.
• I've been working diligently on the brand new Mystery Shopping Blog. Be sure to join us: http://mysteryshoppersuniteblog.blogspot.com. If you're not a mystery shopper and want to be one, you can learn how to become one.
  
• I plan on going biking today. The weather-man said it's supposed to be 60 degrees. I feel like a nap, but a quick ride around the neighborhood will be refreshing! I cannot wait for spring & summer!! ;)
• I meant to tell you that I have since given up Coca-Colas. I used to love those things, but not anymore. Also, ALL caffeine and cafinated beverages (coffee, tea) I've quit. Just caffeine-free and decaf or nothing :)
  
• Bible study is at 7:30 tonight. This is the first time I'm going to try and go to Bible Study at this church. It's 30 minutes to and from, so it seems like a chore. But, I know it'll be worth the drive.

Leisurely To-Do List (ABC Order):

• Buy a rocking chair for my room (man, I have been looking for a good rocking chair since summer time of last year! I checked Roses, Cracker Barrel, and even a furniture shop in the country... *sigh!* I need my perfect rocking chair! :(]
  
• Sign up for a library card
• Watch G. Craige Lewis videos again

Breakfast

Made some omelets today-- my favorite breakfast food! I'm a breakfast food junky. It's my absolute favorite meal of the day. I have labeled this post as "cooking" because baking deals with you know, treats and sweet-stuff :) Enjoy.



I also made some chicken fajitas yesterday that I ate for dinner and I'm eating for lunch right now! lol. Good stuff; I didn't take pictures of those.

Reminiscing

I was just thinking today how much I miss college life. Well, not all of it. Particularly, the jobs that I held on campus. I used to work as copy editor of the campus paper and at the radio station. WZMB 91.3 FM Greenville. Now, THAT was a fun job! *big smiles* The only bad part about it was the fact that I had to wake up at 9 a.m. and head to the radio station. I got to play whatever I wanted on the air-- so fun. I played nothing but Gospel & Christian music the third day I was on the job... Tye Tribbet, the Clark Sisters, Donald Lawrence & The Tri-City Singers-- these were some of the amazing artists that I played on air. I'm smiling now, hehe.

I remember that switchboard, the mic and the headphones... Man, what a fun job. Who wouldn't want to sit on their behind all day, taking listener-requests, chatting on air and listening to music all day?? This was fun for me while in school, but I honestly couldn't have it as a 9-5 job. I feel like I would get bored and have to quit or something... LOL. But, really. Music is my life, GOSPEL music that is-- ONLY Kingdom music. It's all I've listened to since I began living for Christ. I love it. Since I'm reminiscing here, check out a pic I took of myself in the DJ Booth a few months ago... hehe.

Later,

Mark 1:14-15.

The Best Part of Superbowl...

...is the FOOD!! :) :)

My parents and I are having a great time over here. I’m really interested in learning how to cook, and even more so now that I can blog about it! ;)

We made steak with sautéed onions and mushrooms, loaded baked potatoes.

We also had cukes (cucumbers) with tomatoes, homemade meatballs, ham & cheese poppy-seed party rolls, kielbasa sausage seasoned like little smokies...

And Mrs. Smith’s Cherry Pie—my favorite.






So, today I helped my mom make some ham & cheese poppy-seed party rolls. These little guys are soooo amazing! If you haven’t had any, you’re missing out on some tasty finger foods. They are best with the Pepperidge Farm Party Rolls. We also doubled the “sauce” recipe below (butter, mustard, onion, poppy seed, Worcestershire sauce) because it tastes better with extra sauce! Cute and quaint, right? lol. They're really good!

"Little ham sandwiches, made with sliced ham, party rolls, and cheese, along with an easy mustard butter and poppy
seed dressing."

Ingredients:

• 2 packages (7 1/2 oz each) small party rolls
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
• 2 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion (optional)
• 2 tablespoons poppy seed
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 8 ounces boiled ham, chopped (Packs of Ham Lunchmeat)
• 6 ounces shredded Swiss cheese

Preparation:

Melt butter; add mustard, poppy seed, onion, and Worcestershire sauce. Cook over low heat until onions are transparent. Then,

Without separating rolls, slice party rolls horizontally.

Spread both sides evenly with butter mixture.


Fill evenly with ham and cheese and then put the
separated rolls/slices back together. Don't forget
to divide the rolls individually before you put them
in the oven.


Wrap each package tightly in foil (this is so
they don’t “cook,” but instead, so they just heat
up --the cheese melts and they become warm)
and refrigerate until ready to bake.


Bake at 375 ° for about 15 minutes, or until thoroughly
heated and cheese is melted. Serves 8 to 10.

I think my mom ate one, lol! :)

God bless!
Have a good week & Happy cooking!,

Mark 1:14-15.
