Alright so no real portions as usual, i made this last night and going to try it again tonight. Ingredients: Talapia Butter Lime juice Salsa Hoison sauce Put your talapia on a fry pan but dont turn on the heat yet. Spray both sides of it with lime juice, then use a spoon and lay salsa on top, the put a drop of hoison sauce on top of it. Drop 1/8 cup of butter onto the pan it self. Turn heat to med-hi . You dont want to traditional fry it, but let it simmer each side for 12min. Serve with rice and steamed vegetables :)

Balsamic Vinegar Fish Glaze Recipe

Alrighty so while I traveled I made food for my new cousin's-in-laws  who are letting me stay at their place and I checked a couple references and then used the ingredients list below. One thing I really like about this recipe is that its pretty light dinner but fulfilling: 4 pieces of cod - (Can be done with talapia and halibut, especially halibut steaks) balsamic vinegar olive oil brown sugar garlic powder ginger a whole onion Alright so now to the cool part - mix to taste the vinegar, oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, and shred the ginger into it. You can mix how you like, but I prefer a little thicker, not really a paste but will stick on top of the cod. Slice your onion in such a way that you can have a thin layer of onion on the bottom of your skillet to put the fish on top of. Depending on the amount of time you have, you can either marinate the fish in your glaze or if you didt have a lot of time like myself, just put the fish in the skillet, dump and spread the glaze on the fish so its smothered, and then cook on medium or so heat for like  30-35minutes or until fish is done to your satisfaction. Do not let the glaze carmelize on the bottom of the pan within 15minutes, if that is happening your heat is too high set and you might burn the onions and fish. Once the fish is finished, set it on a plate, serve it with a fruit salad and some bread.

Sweet and Salty Chicken Bake recipe

So... Sorry I dont have the portions for this.... I made it up on the spot before a potluck and it actually worked out great!   So!   ingredients: johnnys seasoning onoins sweet potatoe can of tomatoe soup or sauce curry powder cajun honey steak seasoning brown sugar chicken   Making: get your chicken into really small pieces and then boil it to cook it for the most part. Once its done about 70% cooking, take it out and put it in a bowl and make sure the chicken gets some olive oil. Then season all of the chicken with a mixture of Johnnys seasoning, cajun seasoning, and steak seasoning. I know some people will think why not poultry but its because the steak seasoning has more bolder flavors that will stick out more. Then slice an onion in such a way as to line the bottom of a pie dish. Then add a layer of sliced sweet potatoe. Then add an appropriate amount of brown sugar to all of the sweet potato lining. Spread the chicken on top of that layer, and then add another layer of sweet potato. take the can of tomatoe soup/sauce and mix in honey and curry powder to taste. Then pour it into the baking dish. Bake for 30min at 350F   Let me know how it goes :)

Sharing a Blog article

I'm not much into reposting other people's blog articles but this one i think hits a bit close to home. http://www.relevantmagazine.com/life/relationship/features/28856-beauty-vs-sexuality I think the gold nugget here is the following:

To put it another way, we shame men by insisting they're fundamentally weak, constantly vulnerable to being overwhelmed by sexual impulses. We shame women for not being better stewards of that supposed weakness. That shame doesn't just lead to unhealthy sexual relationships (including between husbands and wives); it leaves too many men feeling like potential predators and too many women feeling as if they're vain, shallow temptresses.

  I personally struggle with this idea and also know others on the male and female side and its something to consider. This isnt a license for men to gawk or woman to dress like a tempress, but an opportunity for those to engage in an open and honest dialogue. just my two cents.

Would you come and discourse?

In the world of politics, religion, mac vs pc, etc. it seems to me that society is pretty hit or miss on its "open-mindedness." Its funny because we get all riled up when another individual disagrees that your world view isnt the "right" one or that your phone has better apps than the other. To preface this, i disregard the idea of relativity since if someone can be wrong but there is no absolute truth when if there is a wrong answer there is always a right answer. A person may state then it depends on perspective. I believe we all agree murder is wrong, and not murdering is right - therefor its not a matter of perspective. Its a matter of courtesy, respect, and ministry. So what does this have to do with discourse? Everything! Are you willing to come and discourse with people? Honestly respect, listen, and let others speak into your life while you speak into theirs? A bigger question: Are you willing to even think? In the analogy or perspective of a Christian being "attacked" by an individual who disagrees, are you willing to discourse and think - realizing that this "attack" is a facade/wall and begin ministering to another? Likewise would the "attacker" take the time to listen and potentially think, and begin to see that maybe just maybe - this other person is trying to "minister" as best as they can and they legitimately care about you? That they are actually walking about what they believe and not being hypocritical? I use that example because it rarely happens but also because it can be at the times the most hurtful for both sides and thus becomes an even rarer experience because people dont discourse with each other or even broach the concept. I think one of the larger portions of something like this is that we as a group of people are genuinely open to ideas, thoughts, questions, etc. but we are afraid of scenarios of people being super upset and angry. Honestly, its not that bad. I've asked people on ski lifts what they think happens when they die, and it was a wonderful experience and I loved speaking with the random people I was able to. I've asked a elderly local man, and he seemed upset but that was because he was tired of "religious" people coming to his house all the time trying to convert him. I'd be upset too if I had random people who didt legitimately care about me stopping by my house all of the time. Its a terrible bother (I say this with 30% facetiousness). We then talked for 35 minutes about his home, woodworking, and traveling. He may have seemed upset, but he was willing to discourse with me. I would also submit that if you are tired of people knocking on your door, ask them what their story is. What was their childhood like? What brought them to your city? What was their favorite subject in high school? Sadly stuff like this may scare them away because some people just are not ready to have "personal" conversations. If you think this post is "so true! people need to chill out!" then you might be the most guilty of shutting others down. If you think this post is retarded then set that aside and begin to discourse with me in the comments section. If you feel trapped by two options, discourse or no discourse - dont be :)  - There are more than just two options.  

Dice Sweet Potato Appetizer or hashbrown alternative Recipe

So this is something I like to make a lot because its simple and its potato so its pretty cheap. This can be done with normal potatoes but I definitely prefer the taste of sweet potato.   Ingredients: 1 Diced sweet potato Olive Oil salt pepper basil cinnamon/sugar (the reason I dont give amounts is because not all potatoes are equal) Process: Preheat oven 400F Dice your potato into smallish cubes and then mix with some oil in a fairly large bowl so that all sides are covered but not smothered in oil. In a separate bowl mix together salt, pepper basil, cinnamon sugar. For measurement I would say 1 part salt, 1 part pepper, 1 part basil, 4 parts cinnamon-sugar. mix enough to cover but not smother your potatoes and slow mix it into the bowl with the potatoes. Once you have done that, put the cubed potato pieces on a cookie tray and bake for 5-20minutes, depending on the size of your cubes.   when done, taste awesomeness :)  

Simple Cubed beef for rice/mashed potato Recipe

Alright so This should/could be seved with rice and or mashed potatoes but I will not go into how to make either of this   Ingredients 2lb cubed beef 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 2cup milk 1 cup of oil 1 tablespood of pepper 1/2 tablespooon of salt 3 tablespoons of basil 1 tablespoon of itailian seasoning 5 cloves of garlic   Process: mix it all together, cook in skillet over low to medium heat till done. I say till done because some people like their meat differently. My biggest thing is DO NOT cook on high less you burn your sauce or over cook the meat so that it doesnt keep flavor. Marinading this together for an hour is also an option.
