Friendship

“Too often the I-can-handle-it-myself society we live in seems to promote loneliness rather than friendship. Friends are an important part of sharing the burden and worry of each day.”

---Sherri Curry

Word verification

Well I'm having to put the dreaded "word verification" into use again. I got my first spam today. At least I think it's spam. Someone left a comment. I didn't recognize their name. So clicked on it. It went to a weight loss page....I'm assuming this is the spam that others have talked about? Anyway it's back in place for awhile I guess.... unless I decide to change over to comment moderation. But it's nice being able to see all the comments and not having to wait until I go online to approve them....Oh well this will do for now. Hope you're all having a great week.
Take care!!

Sharing a Good Book.

Hi I picked up this tag on Ginger's blog.

Grab the closest book, go to page 123, find the 5th sentence and, on your blog, put the next three sentences. Write the title of the book and the author’s name. Tag three other people.

Okay .. the book that I have sitting closest to me right now will absolutely revolutionize your life!! Pick it up at a bookstore today!! You won't be sorry that you did! So what is this book? Well the book closest to me is a Bible. It's a NLT (New Living Translation). It's my favourite translation...I have a few different ones. Here are those 3 sentences.

The Lord said to Moses, “Now that you have brought these people out of Egypt, lead them to the land I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them long ago that I would give this land to their descendants. And I will send an angel before you to drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

Wow that was a lot of "ites"... Okay so maybe this part isn't exactly inspiring... but read it through and you will definitely find it so!
Please share a favorite read with me if you feel so lead or post this idea on your blog.

Garlic Lime Chicken

This is THE most amazing chicken recipe EVER!!!! Even if you don't think you would like something like this- I suggest that you try it- I think you will be pleasantly surprised! I used to get a menu mailed to me a couple of years ago and this is one of the recipes from that. I downloaded and printed them because they were so good! I hope you give it a try... I'm making it for dinner tomorrow night. I'll make brown rice to go with it. I know most people don't like brown rice, but we really enjoy the nutty flavour of it(if it's not overcooked!). Besides that, we eat it for the health benefits. wooee... that was a side-track! I'll also make a salad of baby greens and probably a cooked veggie as well. I think everyone will be happy with that!

Have a great weekend everyone!

take care.

ps

tomorrow we tackle the pool full force!! YIPPEEE the kids are so excited... ha.. I think we all are!

Garlic Lime Chicken
Serves 6

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons lime juice

In a bowl, mix together first 7 ingredients. Sprinkle mixture on both sides of chicken breasts.

In a skillet heat butter and olive oil together over medium high heat. Saute chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side. Turn down the heat, remove the chicken (keeping warm) and add the lime juice and chicken broth to the pan, whisking up the browned bits off the bottom of the skillet. Keep cooking until sauce has reduced slightly. Add chicken back to the pan to thoroughly coat and serve.
