Book Reading Update:

A few blogs back I posted those 100 books to read. I was going to start from the bottom up but then that first one was hard to find AND it sounded kinda lame.

I did read the lion the witch and the wardrobe which is on there. It was good funny what I remember from being a kid and reading it..that dang Turkish Delight sounds so good. I want Brieson the bro in law to make it for me! It did also confirm that the book was way better than the movie for sure!

I also started Song of Solomon(really weird so far!) I cant even go in to that yet but when i finish it will be an interesting review.

I have actually been working on the big one from the list THE BIBLE. I mean its on the list and eventually if I had any order to reading I would have to read that one.

So I just finished Genesis. It is so interesting how the stories you hear in church or have actually read many times can still show you such different things. I love that! I really liked reading Genesis. Favorite Story - I really love the creation part..just cuz it is so amazing to think about and still not really understand. I like the story about Joseph and how forgiving he was to his family. Noah..with that boat! that would have been so hard. I think about that move cant think of what it was called..Noah Almighty i dunno it was so funny but still to really think about it I am sure all those people back in Genesis thought Noah was a freak! and then they were sorry too.

 I think the one that stuck out to me the most is when Abraham is asked to sacrifice his son. UGH! that would be SO CRAZY! something I never noticed before was how when Issac kinda realized what was goin down he asked his dad uhm hey wheres the lamb? and Ab replied "My son God will provide for himself the lamb.." He didnt try and cop out with some whinny "oh son god is making me kill u!" he just had faith and stayed strong in front of his child. He knew whatever happened would all work out. which it did the Angel stopped him and a ram appeared instead. But I just LOVED that! Sometimes we people can be so...LAME in how we approach situations and I could never imagine being asked to sacrifice my little monkey and to see this strong example of faith and courage...It's nice it makes me want to be better and yea I just loved it.

So now im in Exodus I will update you when I finish. =]

Bacon Spaghetti

It was brought to my attention that some people have not heard of bacon spaghetti in fact they had the audacity to say "it must be a pregnancy thing cuz it sounds disgusting". Well it is obvious they do not know what they are talking about and I had to do something about it. I mean I cant let them challenge my well culinaried palette on this one! It could damage my reputation! So I am here today to share a recipe that has been in my family for..well i dont know how long but i am pretty sure my dads mom taught my mom how to make it and in turn i also learned to make it. AND let me tell you it is in no way near disgusting. Actually i would consider that an antonym of what it actually is!


Also because of this I now must cook the meal for my Rowlan inlaws...they are kind of the test group for any new thing I do or old thing I love. They will then clarify its amazingness in case these unkknowledged people are too afraid to branch out and open their tongue to delicious amazement! Note these inlaws do not know about this yet but I am sure they wont complain..about me cooking a meal for them since that is a rare occasion in the household.


Anyways here is the recipe and if you are smart you will give it a try!


Bacon Spaghetti

Ingredients:
5-8 slices Regular Bacon no maple or anything that would be weird! (I like turkey bacon for this too..and its better for you!)
1/2 onion small diced
1 Green Bell Pepper big diced
1 clove garlic diced up
1 can mushrooms or fresh ones sliced up
1 Jar spaghetti sauce - a four cheese or classic works good..or make ur own
extra seasoning- if the sauce is "missing" something add black pepper, oregano and parsley.
Favorite Noodles..Original Recipe wants the regular spaghetti noodles but its good with linguine or some penne too.


Directions:
Cook your noodles. While they are cooking start your bacon in a large skillet..you want it to be real crispy so let it get almost burnt(it doesnt matter waht it looks like cuz you will chop it up later). Then take it out to dry on a paper towel. Add the onion and bell pepper to your bacon grease over medium heat(if you have a lot of grease drain some...turkey bacon doesnt leave that much). Cook a few minutes and add your garlic (and if you have fresh mushrooms add now). When everything is browned good add your sauce. Let that simmer for a while and add you extra seasoning if necessary. Chop up your bacon and add it back to your sauce. Drain your noodles and combine with sauce or just serve sauce on top of noodles. You can always add some meatballs or shrimp...but the plate is good on its own anything else is extra.


Serve with some garlic bread and salad and you have an amazing meal!
