Day 05-A recipe

I don't know that many. But the one I will list here is good for cold days or days when you want something quick and easy. Believe me, it fills you up and makes you all warm and toasty inside, especially on cold, winter days

Tomato rice soup. The amount you make depends on how many it will serve

For one person
1 can of Campbell's Tomato soup
1 cup of rice

Directions
-Spray small pot with cooking spray
-Put in can of soup
-Mix in one cup of rice after filling can with water and pouring in to pot
-Mix together
-Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until it thickens a little
-After about 3-4 minutes, take a small taste test to see if rice is done. If so, serve

This fills you up too. A bonus!

30 Day Challenge-About You

I always love these types of challenges because you can learn so much about people. I love learning about people, but the hardest part is usually initiating the conversation. I'm the kind of person who, if I'm sitting at a bar, I wait for someone to talk to me before I start talking. What can I say? I'm sort of shy around those I don't know. So, here's a challenge I found on Tumblr. Ironically, you can find a lot of 30 day challenges there. So here is a 30 day challenge about you. You can just copy and paste it into a new post.

Summary
-A new age telling of the classic story of the Frog Prince. Tiana is a hard working waitress who dreams of having her own restaurant and making the Gumbo and food her dad was famous for. Prince Naveen is an arrogant, carefree prince who gets transformed into a frog during a spell by a local voodoo priest. Tiana is also transformed into a frog by this spell, and in order to break the spell and return themselves to their original forms, she must kiss the frog.

Did You Know?
-The first hand-drawn Disney animation film since Home on the Range
-The first Disney movie to break the color barrier and feature a black princess

-Anika Noni Rose, who voiced Tiana, is left-handed and requested that Tiana be left-handed as well















-The alligator in the movie is named Louis, after the great jazz legend Louis Armstrong

-Though the film is supposed to take place in the 1920s, when Prohibition was in full swing, alcohol can be seen being served in Tiana's restaurant, on the riverboat, and at the La Bouff's costume ball.
-The gator who tries to eat Tiana and Naveen in the swamp is voiced by famous chef Emerial Agasse, who is famous for his Cajun and Creole food
-The animation backgrounds in the film were painted entirely with Adobe Photoshop. This is too cool; I know how to use that program!!!
-Dr. Facilier looks all too similar to the Voodoo god of magic, ancestor-worship and death, Baron Samedi. He was described as very thin, wears a top hat and tuxedo, and having a skull-like face. When he casts the spell on Naveen, you can see the skull, thus making the connection
-The symbols that float around Dr. Facilier during the song "Transformation Central" are based on actual vodou symbols
