A Daily Thought

Well, my faithful friends have you ever heard that term before? I sure haven’t. My friend Penny and I went to the Gallery of Modern Art to see Modern Woman: Daughters and Lovers 1850 — 1918 | Drawings from the Musée d’Orsay, Paris

The collection was beautiful there were Renoir‘s, Toulouse Lautrec, DeGas etc . Before that we went to the other Art Gallery by mistake and saw  Contemporary Women : Australia. We were so glad we stumbled upon it. The work was unusual but creative, and we found it very interesting. Anyway to cut this long story short there was one exhibit where the woman had Googled everyone in the world who had posted online with the same name as hers, and then she put all their photographs  in a montage on the wall of the gallery. So they called them GoogleGangers which is a take on Doppelgangers.  What…

 Outpouring of a tender heart,

in  poignant form of expressions

using the most simplest words,

to touch millions in seconds…

 

speaks  in the silence ,

echoes in vacuum,

become silvery in countdown…

 

significance in the denotation,

worthy connotation,

sense in its value ,

gist of every sequence…

 

abundance in the purpose,

deciphered  uniquely by all,

every soul derives from it ,

a complete different form…

Tonight I was really angry, and at the same time kind of pleased. The strange thing it happened watching a TV-show, because that does not usually make much of an impact. Skavlan is a show that is shown on both Norwegian and Swedish televison, and one of the guests tonight was John Gray, author of the book Men are from March, Women are from Venus. The book has sold more than 7 million copies, and the author claims it to be the best selling book of the 1990s, spending 121 weeks on the bestseller list, according to Wikipedia. Anyway, the show on Scandinavian television showed how really outdated his theories are. The self-declared relationship-superstar (“The leading Relationship Expert in the World“), was totally smashed to bits by the other guests in the show. And that’s why I am pleased: If you go to Scandinavia with such outdated, sexist…

House Finches are getting more abundant around my backyard, the fledgelings are juveniles now and they’re all over at the feeders and flying around at home (My backyard).

 —o—

Important Note:Update on the bald-headed female N. Cardinal, she’s still bald, no change at all after 15 days since I took the fist photo.

—o—

There are two male House Finches (J) that are together all the time, they do the same things together it’s like mirror image sometimes. They look identical.

This season I’ve seen more quantity of birds but less variety of species.

This is what happens when you’re all ready to make enchiladas and then remember you lent your one and only casserole dish to a friend. Turns out, I like this a lot better. Helps with portion control! =)

Ingredients: 

1.5 cups shredded chicken

10 corn tortillas

1 cup Mexican (low-fat) shredded cheese

1/2 cup corn

1 Jar Double Roasted Salsa

1 Can Black Olives

Directions: 


  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Using a shotglass (if you weren’t aware by the above “one-casserole dish” statement, I have very few things in my kitchen!), push down in the center of the tortilla to create a base for each cupcake hole.
  • Cut the remainder of the tortilla into strips and place strips around the perimeter of each cupcake hole.
  • In a large bowl, mix together the: chicken, double roasted salsa, olives, and corn. Fill each cup with 2 spoons of this mixture and sprinkle…
