Awesome, I will have to try that. I found a recipe for a Thai Chicken Peanut Butter Pizza that sounds good too. Can't wait for my semester classes to be over so I will have more time to experiment in the kitchen.
Today I learned that as soon as Daylilies is done with school for the semester she is going to do experiments in the kitchen. So Daylilies, ole buddy, ole pal, what happens to the results of the experiments? And do you mind if I pop over for a visit?Awesome, I will have to try that.

I learnt that traumatized people often have difficulties getting started on a task. Finally I have an excuse. Does that help me to get an A? No. But I have another excuse not to get started.

Do you want the short or long version?
Somethings are better shared in private. Sorry. Good thing is that I am alive today and manage life as best as I can. And that is not of own strength, to put it that way.
This probably explains a lot with me..
Today I learned that going to Costco the day before Thanksgiving is like trying to shop on Black Friday...

You can live with traumas but they will always haunt you. I often feel paralyzed when trying to start to do something. And I get distracted. It is good to know the root the the promblems, but the knowledge doesn't solve the problem.
Yes, I believe this is why I can never seem to generate any sense of self-confidence or feel comfortable around people, but your trauma is probably much worse than mine ever was, if I can even call mine trauma...

There is no competiton here. And different people deal with it differently. I am blessed with being able to focus when I am at work.
And a trauma is a trauma, whether you are raped in a warzone in Afghanistan or being abused by a significant person in your life or experienced illness or traumatic accident. You should recognized what has happened, and pray God to set you free from it. And always forgive the person that caused you this severe experience.
Some deal with a trauma locking it inside, some act or talk it out. I guess I have talked myself through the worst, but as I said, it still haunts me.

LOL; I can always use more taste-testers to help with the results! Especially someone who isn't afraid of trying new things. I don't feel that I'm too crazy in the kitchen but sometimes my family and friends can be a bit boring when it comes to trying new foods. Oh, and full disclosure, I like spinach and cook with it a lot. (My friends claim I need to warn new people of that ahead of time. )

Today I learnt that my co worker is getting married. She and her husband to be have been living together for 16 years and she is turned 60, I think. It is beautiful to see mature love. I hope also going through a church wedding will make them seek Jesus.
Today I learned that Lynx, despite being an all around good guy, doesn't know much about Nelson Mandela.
(He was like this terrorists convicted on many many many many many many many many... charges of murder, mayhem, and destruction... who probably would have died in prison if college kids and soccer moms in other countries hadn't believed the barrage of ridiculous bleeding heart propaganda in the liberal press (generated from Mandela's political machine) and then engaged in enumerable rallies and protests, all over the world, to release some poor "oppressed" guy whom they actually knew absolutely nothing about.)
But in polite conversation, it's best to avoid going wee on popular icons.... it never ends well.
Next we'll probably see a bunch of people who've never even been to South Africa, and have never even looked at Mandela's criminal record (and certainly not his corruption allegations as president) showing up to jump all over me, saying Mandela was a saint and I'm a horrible person.
It's inevitable.
: )
Remember the mantra, never wee on popular icons... just don't do it.

I learned once again that you can't just "Not eat too much" on Thanksgiving... 
Hope everyone had a good one!
