Anything is possible
In Him all things are possible
All you do is keep the faith
don't give up 'cause it's never too late

Anything is possible
In Him all things are possible
You can have whatever you say
Cast your fears away

There is a way
That you can have everything that you've always dreamed of
There is a way
Just keep your feet on the ground while you reach for the heavens
There is a way
It may take a little time but never stray from the vision
Just keep the faith
You can't give up now

There is a way
It may be hard for you now, but it's gonna get better
Your life will change
I've seen it done in the past, so never say never
Where is your faith
You can speak to the mountain and it will be moved
That is the way
To receive all He has for you

Anything is Possible, Anointed

Port Wine Vinaigrette

Last Saturday my mom made this amazing meal where she seasoned a pork loin and grilled it then topped it with a cherry port wine sauce. It was delicious! The only thing was we only used one cup of the port wine. The stuff is awesome for cooking but not so great for drinking so I had to find some more recipes to use it with.

Last night I made this mushroom stuffed chicken with white wine sauce. wow, it was good!
A little tip, I don't drink white wine so much so when I need to use it in cooking a whole bottle will go to waste. This time I decided to buy the four individual bottles of Barefoot Chardonnay. They are the perfect amount because most recipes call for a cup, and now next time I need wine for a recipe I don't have to go buy a new bottle. Anywhoo back to the dressing...

I decided to make some salad dressing to go on spinach I was planning on serving on the side. To make you need

2 C Port Wine
1 Shallot, chopped coarse
about 1/4 C white wine vinegar (red would probably be just as good, if not better but we had white on hand)
about 3T olive oil
s&p

-simmer port wine and shallots until reduced to about 1/2 C stirring occasionally.

-strain out the shallots, add in the vinegar, salt and pepper.

-taste it and see if you like it. if you want a sweeter dressing you could put a little less vinegar but if you like yours with a twang add a little more.

-stream in the olive oil while whisking furiously. again, I don't like my salad dressing very oily so I didn't put very much in.

This dressing was great over spinach leaves and was even better with the spinach + mushroom and bacon filling from the chicken!

kyle is home!!

My lil bro is home from India. We spent about 6 hours hearing all about his journey yesterday and it was so wonderful to be able to see and hear a lot of what went on while he abroad. You might remember this adventure

He was so super sweet he bought me a necklace and a traditional indian top that I think is called a kurta

This is a crappy pic but it is the only one I have of the necklace. We thought it was pretty crazy how well the necklace he bought matched the outfit I was wearing when we picked him up from the airport.

My Job

sometimes I love working for a make up company. it isn't quite full yet but I am working on it

Curtains

My mom and I spent a whole Satuday making curtains. I think the hardest part was picking out the fabric. They are not quite done yet but here is what I have come up with so far. I think they really make the apartment look much more homey and add some nice color. For an added bonus they are already keeping our apartment much cooler

These are the living room curtains. They look particularly shiny in the picture but the material is more like the silk you would see on a wedding dress.


This is the leave pattern on the curtains


These are the living room curtains. At first I was worried they would look too much like old lady drapes but I am really pleased with how they turned out

Awwww Sweet Husband

My sweet husband sent these to my work on Friday. Aren't the pretty? Everyone together now... awwwwww!!

And just to let everyone know what a jerk I am he got in trouble for sending them to me because they aren't in our budget. Then I proceeded to tell my coworkers what a good job he did on the vase because usually he sends the ugly curvy ones and that he should send them not on a friday that way they can see how pretty the flowers get when they bloom. Yeah, big old jerk!
