Crab Stuffed American Flounder Rolls
Follow crab cake recipe first. Before diving crab cakes and cooking as cakes, reserve some of the crab mixture to the side. Divide reserved crab mixture evenly for the pieces of flounder. Lay the flounder long ways in front of you. Add crab mixture to the wider end of the flounder and then roll the long way. Place flounder rolls on pan and bake alongside crab cakes. (Most likely for the same...

The One Week Digital Cleanse
I’m going to consider this…I want to say it would be difficult since I work in a technology based field but in reality he is not asking us to do much because hold off from Twitter, Facebook, and txting for a week. That seems rather attainable. jhnmyr: Mention to anyone with computer savvy that your laptop has somehow gotten slower over recent months and they’ll ask you the same...

Why can't you be happy for me?
Sometimes it baffles me. I dance around words and statements because I just want my friends to be happy. So I don’t say stuff that will upset them. I’m not saying I’m some great person, but I realize that squashing someone’s reality isn’t the way to make or keep friends. I don’t think that I have ever told a friend that a major life decision they were making was...

Just going to say it out right, I did not like this movie. Here is my list of reasons why: 1. After the first 15 min the novelty of 3-D wears off and you hardly realize it. 2. After the first 15 min the intense design and creation of the beautiful planet also wears off because it is overused. 3. Do all indigenous people have to be barely clothed and using bows and arrows? I think it is a little...

Year In Review?
With only, roughly, 9 days left in the year I have decided to wrap up a couple things so I can remember what was so great (or horrible) about 2009 - and yes it’s all about music because what else happened in my life this year? Best Success: This award definitely goes to The Devil Wears Prada. Two summers ago at Warped Tour I was walking around wasting time and heard some band come out on...

Postal Service/Owl City
I did not realize that there was such an internet buzz when Owl City gained popularity that Adam Young ripped off The Postal Service. Honestly, I would not even compare the bands. While they are in the same genre, they take completely different outlooks on life, lyrics, and tone. I listen to The Postal Service and then need to take Prozac or some other anti-depressant. Don’t get me wrong,...

All signs
Do you sometimes feel like all things are pointing to something? I have trouble telling what is really an indication that I should do something and what is my brain selfishly saying I want to do this. I think there has only been one time in my life where all signs were pointing to something and I knew what it was and I went for it. That was my decision to go to Baylor. I just knew. When people...

Ice Pellets
me: could not stop laughing about "ice pellets"
alysonavery: ahahahaha
how weird is that?!?!?
me: is that like mini-hail?
alysonavery: so pellets make me think of projectile objects. hail doesn't. so ice pellets clearly means God and the Angels are up there just chucking ice cubes at Oak Park.
me: maybe they are actually playing with ice filled bb guns?
alysonavery: that makes even more sense! good job
