Monday and Work

* * * * *

Maybe the way to work on a Monday morning shouldn't be on a freeway...

Maybe it should be on a slow boat to your place of biz...

Mmmmmm

Keeping it Positive

* * * * *

In the year Twenty Ten, this is our first whole week - of five days - back to work.

It's been an adjustment....fun....productive... and:

yes, yes, yes thank God it's Friday....whew!

* * * * *

And the new cell phone is called

And, yes, it's starting to feel a little JETSON-LIKE around my life!!!

Enough with the Cream Cheese!!!

Something yummy to help get as far away from holiday food as possible:

Pizza With Honey and Chevre ~

.

Serves 4

1 cup luke warm water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon dry yeast
2.5 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
4 tablespoon olive oil
.

Filling:
10 grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup crumbled chevre
10 basil leafs
honey to drizzle
.
Start with the dough.
In a bowl mix water, honey and yeast.
Leave it for 5 minutes so that the yeast starts to work.
Add flour, salt and oil.
Work the dough well together.
Cover with plastic and let it rise for 1 hour.
On a baking tray press the dough out with your fingers to form a large pizza.
Add tomatoes and half of the chevre.
Bake at 450F, 250C for about 5-6 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
Take it out and add the rest of the chevre, basil and drizzle with honey.

.
Enjoy!
.

(My Style: Skip all the dough making: Get a couple hand-stretched Garlic Naans (flatbread) - warm in the oven with a spritz of good olive oil and a drizzle of honey. Then layer the filling. Easy Peasy and so so so not cream cheesey!!!!!)

twenty ten

Jenna Speaking - a segment of the Today tv show - interviewed people in Times Square before midnight..asking them about their resolutions. One woman in particular caught my eye/ear:

.

1. Teach OLD DOG NEW TRICKS

2. Stop watching REALITY TV

3. Defriend FACEBOOK STALKERS.........

... and my favorite:

4. Stop KICKING PIGEONS.

.

Besides dropping a few lbs which is not a resolution but an ongoing fight, I believe I shall adopt this woman's thoughtfulness and insight.

,

And to all my fellow worker bees - happy first day back to work and what will hopefully be a better year!
