So today is my anniversary…

Snacking can break a diet. Here is a healthy snack that is also good for you. Homemade Hummus Dip For the dip you’ll need: 1 can of garbanzo beans optional: Goya Vegetable seasoning packet 1/2 To prepare: Mash the garbanzo beans. You can also use a food processor. I went old school and used a mortar and pestle to mash the beans and crush the garlic. Once those are mashed mix them together, next drizzle about a tablespoon or a bit less of olive oil. Then squeeze the lemon/lime juice into the bean mixture (you can add more or less to your liking.) Add in a few dashes of hot sauce (again to your liking). Sprinkle in the sea salt. I like to add in about a half or less of a packet of Goya Vegetable Seasoning. You can really season with what-ever you like or just leave it with the salt. That’s it! It’s so easy and I prefer it over the store bought kind any day! Serve with pita chips and fruit. I’m participating in a 30 day blog challenge with a bunch of superb bloggers within the momdot.com forum, in an effort to revitalize, inspire, teach and learn from each other. Our first challenge was to create an about me video blog. Here I am in all my dorky glory. Trisha had the brilliant idea of placing these videos on our “about me” pages. *insert forehead slap here* Why did I not think of this. I was…am proud of my “r.e. me” page. Now I think this video will just enhance it that much more! xo, If you’re a fan of the Twilight If you still have your ticket stub you can get a discount off the dvd or blue ray. Visit the Breaking Dawn movie site for more info. In celebration of the film’s DVD release, Target will premiere a special sneak peak of The Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part II in select Target stores beginning at 11 pm on Friday the 10th of February. You’ll have to have at ticket to attend, but you can pick one up that Friday beginning at 9 p.m from their customer service desk. The scene shown in Target stores will not be available on Target’s exclusive Limited-Collector’s Edition DVD but will come with an authentic prop flower from Bella and Edward’s wedding scene. **swoon**
For more info visit Target’s website. There are also rumors swirling about of a Twilight television series. As much as I adore these characters I’d like them to remain true to Stephenie Meyer’s novels. A series would have to veer away from them much like The Vampire Diaries has done, where the show’s only similarity to the novels are the character’s names. I also would be lying to if I told you I didn’t set my DVR every week to record that show. That I actually enjoy it and I’m sure it would be cool to see Bella and Edward and all the Cullen’s post wedding, vampire, Volturii end scene battle and all…I mean, I’d totally watch it, but I think it may ruin it for me a bit. Plus… I’m guessing Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would not be the actors portraying Edward and Bella in a t.v. series…which would suck. I’m not making any sense am I?
Last night on Twitter yalitchat.org held it’s weekly twitter chat #YALITCHAT the topic was plagiarism and we inevitably got into the topic of piracy. With all that is going on with SOPA and PIPA I thought it very timely. I also discovered this video from author Neil Gaiman where he speaks about the web and piracy and how it actually brought him new readership. Very interesting. I’m the membership ambassador to YALITCHAT, if you’re a young adult literature enthusiast or interested in learning more about our mission to advance the reading, writing and publishing of young adult literature around the world please stop in and check our community out. I also am responsible for booking the weekly chats. If you have a topic you’d like to see discussed, or are a professional in the publishing industry and would like to be a guest please contact me.
