Southwestern Pizza
Mom and I were not too hungry. We just wanted something light to eat and then put in a movie. It turned into one and a half bad picks. My friends and I in OKC like to have themed potluck dinners and I like to organize them. Our kickoff theme dinner was Asian cuisine. About 30 people showed up with various dishes including rice, sushi and chow mein. Our next theme in January is Tex-Mex and I...

'The Psychopath Test' by Jon Ronson
Many of the books that I read have to do with the mind. I’m intrigued by how it works. I’ve recently read ‘Born on a Blue Day’ and ‘Incognito’ just because of a fascination with the subject and the differences between each person’s mind. My guess is that Jon Ronson is similar based on the way he starts his book ‘The Psychopath Test.’ The first...

Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta
Last night I could only think of one thing I wanted for dinner… chicken. I couldn’t think of how I wanted to prepare it though so I hit the internet. I browsed several recipes, got some ideas and decided to give Creamy Cajun Chicken Pasta a try. It’s not too hard, and after this past week, not hard was something I was going for. It has been an emotional week. We found out our...

Robert Downey Jr's 'Sherlock' Sequel is a Smart,...
It is a movie that takes some liberties. It mixes up events, changes time-lines, tweaks a few characters, but the essence of ‘Sherlock Holmes’ is still captured in the screen version and then ramped up for the general movie-going public. In the world of books I am a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes. I’ve read the stories several times. I’ve even read a few of the recent novels...

Equilibrium Bookcase by Malagana Design
Some of my furniture are hand-me-downs and I’ve been thinking about a bit of a make-over for my place. The couches will be the first to go. They have a life-time warranty for structure but not so much for look. The walls will be easy. I have been taking dozens and dozens of black and white shots of Oklahoma City. I want to frame them and use them for wall decoration. However when it comes to...
