Defrosting Salad...Not Good!!!

Ok I was fixing lunch a while ago and I had salad on my mind!!! BUT the thing is I open the fridge, no bagged salad in sight! Crisper, no salad!!! Hmmm...strange I thought!!! So I open the freezer and BAM there it is!!! Great I must have put it in there yesterday by accident!!! Let me tell you that thing was frozen solid!!! As I stood there with chicken breast and no salad a spark of genius hit me!!!! People wash salad...right, so why don't I wash frozen salad and it will defrost...man I'm good!!! Well I proceed to wash the brick of salad and it quickly begins to turn into this stewy-slimy mess!!! This can't be good I thought!!! Long story short...the salad went in the trash! So if you ever end up in such a predicament (I know it happens often right) "DO NOT" I repeat "DO NOT" defrost it!!! Unless you like stewy-slimy salad!!!

Penny for your thoughts!!!

You are the Sweet to my Salty!!!

It's been said that adding a pinch of salt brings out the sweetness in sugar, I consider this an interesting concept!!! After reading about this I began to apply this idea to my relationship with my husband!!! At first I thought surely he's the salt that adds to my sweetness (I know I'm tooting my own horn...bear with me)!!! But after much consideration I came up with the fact that I can very well be the salt!!! Let me tell you why! Because my husbands the SWEETEST(you saw that coming right)!!! He truly is kind, loving and very deserving of the title!!! But then I went a little further and figured he could be the salt too!!! Salt preserves, gives flavor, enriches, and adds zest!!! These are all effects that John has had on my life! From hindsight I thought "how do sweet and salty make a good combination"? But after some exploring I learned that its a great blend that complements each other well!!! Who's the sweet to your salty?

Words of Wisdom

I recently read a quote that I thoought was very profound and nicely worded! Here it goes:

"Be of good cheer. Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find joy in overcoming obtacle." -Helen Keller

I recently found myself in a situation were I didn't meet a goal I had set for myself, I was very disappointed to say the least! But then I remembered this quote and realized that I cannot dwell on my failures, but I can grow from them and focus on the victory's that lie ahead!
