Smile

I couldn't resist snapping a photo of this poster displayed in a school counsellor's office the other day. It says 'Smile, it's the first thing people like about you'. Doesn't it make you smile?

In other thoughts, I realize I have been putting off reading the newspaper and magazines, preferring to go online and read stuff there first. It seems to be a quicker and more efficient way of obtaining information. In fact, I have to pull myself off the computer sometimes. How about you? I feel sad for the newspapers and magazines, it spells their ultimate demise perhaps.

Cauliflower and Aged Cheddar Chowder and The Liebster Award

I adapted (simplified) this 'comfort food' recipe from one I found in a magazine. I enjoyed it and hope you'll try it.

1 cauliflower cut into small florets
1/2 cup aged cheddar, crumbled
2 c low sodium chicken broth
2 c skim or 1% milk
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbs olive oil

Bring cauliflower and chicken broth to a boil in a pot and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add milk and spices and simmer for a further 10 minutes until cauliflower is soft. Mix in olive oil and cheese. Serve and enjoy!

Finally, I've received the Liebster Award!

I Received This Nice Award From Amy
