Day One of 30 day blog challenge

Joel asked me tonight why I had not posted day one of my latest challenge.  So here's day one :D

I took this picture of myself just the other day and I absolutely love it!  I think it has a lot to do with the fact that you can't see my double chin or nose hair. HA!

Okay, fifteen interesting facts.  I am going to have to put a disclaimer here to let you know that these are things that are interesting to me and maybe Joel or TinkerBell, our cat.  That being said

1. I grew up in South Carolina, near Charleston. And have no Southern accent to prove it, or the manners for that fact!

2.  I once colored my hair a deep cherry red on a dare.

3.  I am a pastor's wife.

4.  I love to write, but don't really know if I want to be published

5.  We were able to conceive our daughter after trying for a few months and haven't been able to conceive in the six years since.  I guess if anyone says that Hannah broke the mold, they wouldn't be telling too big of fib.

6.  I am actually growing to love women's ministry!

7.  Converse College is my Alma Mater and I tell every young woman I meet that's looking into college that she should go there!

8.  I love to turn the music up full blast when I'm in the car alone.

9.  Most people cry at weddings, I almost always cry at baptisms and sometimes during communion.

10.  God uses books to teach me very real things about myself and how to change or cultivate them.

11.  I've been blogging at various places on the internet for at least the past six years.  I think I like it.

12.  I was converted from vegetarianism thanks to Jack in the Box's Bacon Ultimate Cheese Burger and Crown and Anchor's Jalapeno Cheeseburger.

13.  The first time I ate guacamole, I thought it tasted like dirt. Now I think it tastes divine!!!

14.  I like to send snail mail, but have a hard time keeping stamps in the house.

15.  Our cat, Ralph, liked to sleep on my head.  Our new cat, Tink, likes to sleep right next to my pillow.  I guess I have cathead.

  1. HAHAHA Cathead! I like that.
    I will join you in that challenge! Will you have topics daily, or is this more of a free-form deal?

  2. I think I'll try to do it daily. I don't normally post on Fridays, but can definitely set it up to post one a day for the next 30 days. Woot! You can get the rest of the questions in the previous post. I can't wait to read yours!!

Stories from the Kitchen: Taste and See

I celebrated my birthday last weekend. It was wonderful and the leftovers left me with a question or two. Find out what they are and how I'm currently answering them in this week's podcast. Stories from the Kitchen Season 2, Episode 2: Taste and See Notes from the episode: Taste and See by Margaret Feinberg Dad’s New York Cheesecake (from the back of a Philidelphia Cream Cheese package) 1 ⅞ cups graham cracker crumbs ¼ to ½ cup butter, melted 1 cup sugar, divided 2 lbs cream cheese (4 packs) 2 large eggs (lightly beaten) 1 tsp vanilla 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 cup sour cream Preheat oven to 450F Mix well graham crackers, 2 tbsp sugar, and enough butter that the mixture holds together. Reserve 2 tbsp for garnish. Press mixture onto bottom and sides of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the freezer while preparing the filling. Mix cream cheese and sugar until smooth and light. Beat in eggs, vanilla, and cornstarch until just blended. S

Tasty Tuesday: Roasted Broccoli

I ran across this recipe on Pinterest the other day that was labeled " The Best Broccoli Of Your Life. " I normally either steam our broccoli in the microwave or saute it with olive oil and red pepper flakes on the stove top. I decided this would be something to try. I did the salt, pepper and olive oil part of the recipe. I didn't have the majority of the other ingredients. In fact, all I had was a little bit of Parmesan  It was wonderful. Not the best broccoli of my life, but honestly, it was pretty close. And if I had the lemon juice and all that jazz, it may very well be the best. What have you been eating lately?

Together is a Beautiful Place by Bailey T. Hurley

  Have you ever wanted to be a better friend or been stumped by how to make your friendships more meaningful? If so, you might want to pick up a copy of Together is a Beautiful Place. Hurley does an excellent job of sharing ways to connect with people that you know and how to easily take your relationships from surface level to deep and meaningful parts of your life. One of my favorite parts of the book is when Hurley incorporates surveys and other data to give insight into relationship building. She shares that it takes 90 hours of social interaction to consider someone a friend. When you’re only seeing each other in passing, it will take much longer than when you carve out time to specifically be with people.  Overall, Together is a Beautiful Place is an encouraging and helpful read. Exactly what I needed as I continue to make friends in life.  I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for the purpose of review. I’m never required to say nice things about books but I’m always
