Life is a Journey

Every once in a while, I recommend things to my readers and today is one of those days. The first, I've blogged about before and I do so again because I believe in what he is doing and I genuinely love his work. Please click on this link and check out all that Jim Harold has to offer. If you have a strange experience to share, by all means contact him! Next, I want to share with you a blog and book written by a wonderful woman that I personally know. Sara was a colleague of mine while I worked at Marsh and we soon became friends. Check out her blog here and if you like her writing style, buy her book!

I get crazy cravings every once in a while. I knew you could make cake in a cup and I've done it several times but I have yet to find a recipe I liked. I have found one that has promise and I want to experiment with it. For starters, this is the recipe I tried to make last night. Looks pretty, doesn't it? I got everything together to make this for myself and then realized that I didn't have any vanilla extract. What to do?? I Googled "vanilla extract substitute for baking" and found a suggestion to use vanilla flavored rum. Only one problem - I didn't have any. I had mango flavor, coconut flavor, banana flavor and pineapple flavor. I chose the coconut. The batter was very dense and difficult to mix well in a cup or maybe I was just impatient! I chose one of my favorite mugs and below you see the result. (A shout out to Jim Harold at The Campfire and Paranormal Podcast. I use my mug all the time! Great shows!) I like the peanut butter...

In honor of it being October 1st, I would like to celebrate the start of my favorite month by sharing a video with you today. Yes, this is one of my favorites. I totally dig the Paranormal Report with Jim Harold and Clayton Morris.

I love a variety of things...someone I admire said, "Keep an open mind but not so open that your brains fall out". Love it! http://jimharold.com/jims-latest/ufo-videos-fact-or-fake-paranormal-report-18/
