Bitten by the vampire bug.......

I know I just told you not to start the Twilight series......but......Leigh Ann had the great idea of going to the Twilight movie,  which opens Nov. 21st.   So let's just say you wanted to join us for a movie that night---I know, I know,  an impromtu girls night out,  then you might possibly want to read Twilight before then.  But don't blame me if your children don't get fed or changed and your husband has no clean socks.   I will not be held personally responsible for any such behavior.  I've got my own husband's dirty socks to ponder.   Also,  consider the fact that every.  single.  fourteen.  year. old.  will be there,  so we'll have to line up early.   And wear black nail polish.  and dress all goth and such.   I'm sure such fodder is beneath you because you're already reading Heart of Darkness and couldn't possibly lower your standards.   But just try it this once.  What could it hurt?  Noone gets addicted on the first try.  Right?

Sorry to be a pain, I have just finished 'Jane Eyre' Oh my, I enjoyed it so much--always remebered Jane Eyre as being dark and a boring book. Something has changed--probably me--I would rate this book A+ probably the best book I have read in the past 20 years--even surpasses Pride and Prejudice--yes I did say that. I am now itching to re-read "Withering Heights" and waiting to see if this book has the same effect on me.

I do have a video of Jane Eyre which I would recommend, the version I have is more inkeeeping with the actual book. Some of the older movies are vary drab.
I really hope the book grabs you like it did me--can't wait to hear your update.

Mini Pickled Okra Sandwiches

This recipe can be made up to 2 hrs in advance, due to the Cream Cheese acting as a barrier and preventing the Bread from absorbing the liquid from the Pickled Okra--simply make your sandwiches, cover them with a slightly damp piece of paper towel , then some Saran Wrap and refridgerate for up to 2 hours. The Cream Cheese mixture also works well with Cucumber Sandwiches.

1 Loaf of Bread
8 oz cream cheese
2 T Dill.Herb Spice Mix (Tastefully Simple)
1 Jar of Pickled Okra
Bring the cream cheese to room temp and add the Spice mix.
Remove the crusts from the bread and roll out with a rolling pin.
Take 2 pieces of bread apply some of the cream cheese add the Okra cut in to desired shapes and serve.

5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake

This recipe is dangerous, Why? because you are only 5 minutes away from Chocolate Cake at any given time of day.

4 T Flour
4 T Sugar
2 T Cocoa
1 Egg
3 T Milk
3 T Oil
# T Chocolate Chips (otional)
a small dash of Vanilla Extract
1 Large Coffee Mug

Add all of the dry ingredients to the mug and mix well. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and oil and again mix well. Add the chocolate chips ( if using ) and vanilla extract, after you have mixed well, place the mug in the microwave and cook for 3 minutes at 1,000 watts ( high ). The cake will rise over the top of the mug, do not be alarmed! Allow the cake to cool a little and then invert on to a plate. This recipe can serve 2 ( if you want to feel slightly more virtuous ).
