Apricot Pineapple Smoothie

INGREDIENTS :

• 1/4 cup crushed pineapple
• 1 fresh apricot, diced
• 6 strawberries
• 1/2 banana
• 1 1/2 cup water
• 1 tbsp. skim milk powder
• 1 heaping tbsp. high- quality protein powder (optional)
• 1 tsp. flax seed oil (optional)

In a blender, process fruit with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until thoroughly mixed and serve.

For a dramatic serving presentation, select the largest avocado you can find. This becomes a substantial luncheon entrée or elegant first course for dinner.

Ingredients

SERVES 2

• 1 jumbo avocado, about 1 1/2 lbs.
• 1 large ripe mango, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup crushed banana or plantain chips
• 1 to 2 tsp. curry powder, or to taste
• 2 Tbs. mayonnaise, or low-fat or vegan mayonnaise
• Juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
• 3 Tbs. pickled ginger for garnish

Directions

1. Slice avocado in half, cutting lengthwise. Carefully pull or twist halves apart, and remove seed. Using sharp paring knife, cut crosshatch pattern into flesh almost to skin, and spoon out cubes, leaving 1/8-inch inside layer of avocado flesh. This keeps avocado shell stable.
2. In mixing bowl, combine avocado cubes, mango cubes, crushed banana chips, curry powder, mayonnaise, lime juice and coriander leaves, stirring together gently.
3. Mound mixture into avocado halves. Sprinkle each with pickled ginger slices.

Wine Suggestions This dish presents an interesting wine-pairing challenge: How to highlight the fruits’ acidity yet take advantage of the mayonnaise’s richness? The answer: Maintain the proper proportion of acid to fat, which this recipe does. Try matching it with a dry Riesling or medium-weight Syrah/Shiraz.

Creepy Finger Sandwiches

Arrange these “fingers” in hand shapes on a platter, and they’ll disappear like magic. You can also serve them with dipping bowls of blood (ketchup) and green slime (prepared pesto).

Ingredients

Serves 13

• 1 cup walnut pieces
• 1 1/2 cups lentils, rinsed
• 1/4 cup low-sodium vegetable broth or water
• 2 Tbs. olive oil
• 3 small cloves garlic, peeled
• 2 tsp. chili powder
• 2 tsp. lemon juice
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. salt
• 8 cups baby spinach, chopped
• 13 whole-wheat hot dog buns
• 1 small cucumber, cut into 13 diagonal slices
• 1 7-oz. jar roasted red peppers, drained, cut into thin strips
• Low-fat mayonnaise for decoration, optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350˚F. Place walnuts on baking sheet, and bake 10 minutes, or until browned and fragrant. Cool.
2. Bring lentils and 4 cups water to a boil in saucepan. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 40 minutes, or until lentils are tender and most of water is absorbed. Drain.
3. Purée lentils, walnuts, broth, oil, garlic, chili powder, lemon juice, cumin, and salt in food processor until smooth. Transfer to bowl, and cool 20 minutes, or until barely warm. Stir in spinach.
4. Spread 1/3 cup lentil mixture inside each hot dog bun. Close bun, and gently squeeze so filling mounds up in long “finger” shape along sides. Place one cucumber slice on end of each bun to resemble fingernail. Place 2 strips roasted red pepper on either side of filling in bun to outline “finger” shape. Draw joints and wrinkles with mayonnaise, if desired.

DEAR my blog,

OMG!!! I really want to scream out of my head. First, I cant say anything while mom is here.
Dont know what should i say, inside my heart I am crying. I really hate to be part of him.
I dont understand him that's why me and him are fucking around without status.
Guess what? I am still stuck
I want to move on without him.
Seriously!!!!
I need Lord Jesus, I believe He is the one who can help me going through all.
Yet I have to be brave in everything.
I dont know what to do now. I believe Lord will show me the way.
I miss Father God and i need to be alone for a while.

Yet I am the stupid one

WHAT A day!!!
First, i havent commited to myself. I never appreciate every single second while I'm breathing.
All i have done is just wait and let the time goes by. I wouldnt say what happened roughly. On Monday night, as what i thought, he will be online. And what happened???
yes, he was online. He left offline message for me on Sunday, i didnt reply at all. What for?
On Monday morning, he left another offline message "AGAIN". I was about to reply, and suddenly out of no where he online. As usual, his habit and behaviour hadnt changed much. He is still the same person that I've known. He was trying to capture my view by telling how much he cares for me. One thing that i wanted to tell him, " can you stop f*cking bullshit?! "
I will be so grateful, if I could tell him. Not for what we had done, but for what we are right now.
Today, we were supposed to meet in front of my school. Are you driving me crazy?
HELL YES!!! he was there, but he walked with teacher. I suppose he aint blind!!
He did saw me and yet he just walked away from me. OMG!!!
I really don't know what should i do to him. I didnt cry for him, not even a singlee tears.
All i did just walked away and enjoy myself. I found it's more important to love myself rather than him. So, tell me I did the right thing.
Thanks God my brain is working properly. you know what would happened, if it wasnt
That's all about to day. YEah.. i gotta move on. and the rest is in God's hand.

Let's see what we got today.
