Sherlock Lives, here's your blanket.

This has nothing to do with food. That's okay. I've been waiting over a year, maybe two? For Season 3 of BBC's Sherlock. I don't know if I ever shared this? I made it in 2013. February of 2013. On Someecards.

Well, Season 3 has come (and gone for those with access to BBC UK). I've only seen episode one. It hasn't quite soaked in yet, though I've seen it twice. I find I have to watch an episode, oh.. 5 times to catch everything. But for anyone just joining me, I'm going to share some silly meme's I've made in the upcoming weeks. But first, here's your blanket-

Welcome to the madness.

Happy Thanksgiving...

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were able to spend it the way you wanted. We had a quiet time at home and t was such a blessing. DH was home, we didn't go anywhere, rush anywhere. On Friday we went with DH to his school for about an hour, actually we went to a store while he did some things in the lab. I got a shower curtain liner, I know big spender right? I can't remember the last time where we just didn't feel rushed or feel like there was somewhere we needed to be or DH needed to be. It was a wonderful long weekend. I hope that your time was blessed.
We didn't have turkey. The girls voted for King Crab. Here's our menu

Wednesday Words- Psalm 45:11

I had made this awhile back for my bestie who is such an encouragement and my iron that sharpens me. I lose sight at times of where I am in the timeline of eternity, dying to self, my worth in Christ. Ladies, the blood of the King is what you're worth, MORE PRECIOUS to Him than you can imagine. The KING is enthralled with your BEAUTY, honor HIM, for He is your LORD. Psalm 45:11

Delight yourself in the Lord, draw near to him, honor him, love the Lord your God with all your ♥-mind-soul. 

Wordless Wednesday- Sleep.

This is what I was doing a few days ago. This is what I'd like to be doing now. I'm so behind on reviews and posts. Blah. I hope you're have a great day!

TobyMac - Steal My Show

The girls and I have been having some serious dance party sessions to this lately. Happy "Wordless Wednesday"


Another cold night
Another late flight
It's almost show time
And Diverse City's waitin' on me
We got a packed house
The crowd is callin' out
They want the beat to drop
But what we really need is You

[Chorus:]
If You wanna steal my show
I'll sit back and watch You go
If You got somethin' to say
Go on and take it away
Need You to steal my show
Can't wait to watch You go, oh, oh
So take it away

So now the crowd is hype
That you showed up tonight
Anticipatin' cravin' somethin' more than smoke and lights
So I'll step out the way
I'll give You center stage
Alright
Spotlight
Give 'em what they came for ...

Chorus

When You arrive, we come to life
Our hearts collide, they're beating in the same time
You're comin' through
All eyes on You
Our hearts collide
They're beating in the same time
Beating in the same time

No matter who we are
No matter what we do
Every day we can choose to say ...

Chorus

My life
My plans
My heart
It's all Yours, God
Take it away
My dreams
My fears
My family
My career
Take it away
Take it away
It's all Yours, God
So take it away
Take it away
It's You I wanna live for

Manic Monday- GPAC Curry Powder

I love toasting and grinding my own spices. I love that they are more fragrant, and are made the way I like them! This is curry powder. I love playing with spices, adding more of what I like, less of something I don't like or omitting it all together. I love putting together seasonings.
This is what I put in my curry powder, I toast and cool the whole spices first.

Manic Monday- Chicken Madaline

I'm sad to say that I don't make this often. I really like it, it's simple but good food. The girls will eat it but it's not one of those dishes they ask me to make.

 I've posted this before HERE.
You don't have to use Velveeta cheese, or canned cream soups. Sub shredded cheddar cheese for the Velveeta, and make this healthy substitute HERE for the canned soups.

Do you have any dishes you enjoy but your family is like "eh" over?

Manic Monday- Spicy Green Papaya Salad

 Also known as Tum Mac Houng/Som Tum, spicy green papaya salad is a favorite here. It's so easy to make. I also make it with cucumber, cabbage and rice noodle, Chinese long beans. I've had it with carrots, and green mango also.

Don't forget your Sticky Rice!

Manic Monday- Rice Paper for Spring Rolls

My mom got me these cool things for my spring roll wrappers. They are like plates but they all have grids/holes on them. Like a screen or a drying rack. It's nice because the rice paper doesn't get overly soggy. Once I dip the sheets of rice paper I can put them on these racks/plates to soften. They stay flat and ready for wrapping. She got these from the Asian Market.
Since this is a Wordless Wednesday/ Repeat Wednesday, here are some Spring Roll recipes for you-

Manic Monday- Lemon Herb Chicken Ring

Wordless/Repeat Wednesday :)
Such an easy, yummy, fast meal.

Manic Monday- Pork Carnitas

Ok, obviously I talk to darn much to make this a Wordless Wednesday posting, so Repeat Wednesday it is. These Pork Carnitas can be made with beef, or chicken. I'm not a fan of chicken. I made this in the crock pot. I served this with Black Beans and Rice (I'll blog this soon, but try the Grilled Confetti Rice linked below), and a Simple Cabbage Salad. The Carnitas are served on lettuce with vegetables. You can use or tortillas also.
 Leftovers are great for lunch or breakfast. Make a soup, stew, enchiladas, burritos, sandwich on Torta bread. I love this heated up with a fried egg and sliced jalapenos on top. Such an easy meal to make.

Manic Monday- Fruit and Nutella Crepes

Wordless/Repeat Wednesday post. These crepes are easy to make, with minimal ingredients. You can make them ahead of time and freeze them between sheets wax paper. They also keep in the refrigerator for a few days if you want to make them ahead of time for a meal. I don't put sugar in the batter, but it can be sweetened easily. I like to keep the crepes pretty neutral, I've wrapped them with savory fillings (chicken, cheesy spinach, ground beef and cheese, ricotta, etc). I have also filled them with fruit, fresh whipped cream, Nutella, chocolate sauce, cream cheese and cinnamon, chopped nuts, and fruit preserves.
These crepes have strawberry, banana, Nutella, and fresh whipped cream. I sprinkled them with chopped almonds. MMM.

Manic Monday- Double Pan Fried Noodles (Mee Korb)

Welcome to my first Wordless Wednesday here on GPAC. As you can see, it's not wordless. It's more of a "Repeat/Wordless Wednesday". I'm going to try to post some oldie but goodie recipes/posts from GPAC on Wednesday's. I'll take new pictures of some items if we happen to have it on our menu. I'll also post those pictures I find in my "not yet blogged" folders on my hard drive. Some will actually be wordless, I don't know how many though. I'm not even sure how many Wednesday's I'll be posting.

If you're blogging do you have certain days you post things? Meatless Mondays? Wordless Wednesday's? Do you find it easier to blog this way? More challenging? What about "cooking clubs" do you belong to any of those? Let me know about them!
