Contest!!!

Hey, time to see if I have any readers, lol.  I am giving away a $5 gift card to Amazon.com.  What you need to do to enter is comment with your favorite recipe.  Not the title, I want actual recipes to try.

So, I will take the comments over the weekend, and on Monday at noon, I will use http://www.randomizer.org/form.htm to put in the number of comments received and it will pick the winning comment.

So, make sure I have your email, so that I can email you the electronic card information.

Now, to see those recipes.  Yippee, I am excited to be able to do this.

*I forgot to mention, only one entry or recipe per person.  I had 2 great recipes from Joy, but I had to remove one of them, so that she was only entered once.  I realized I forgot to mention that, so if you end up posting twice, I will take the recipe I like the best and leave it in the comments.*

  5. Here is a recipe that we use for our sourdough starter.

    Mix one cup of warm water with one cup of flour. Place in a room that is between 70-80 degrees.
    Wait 24 hours.
    Pour out half of the sourdough starter and mix in another half cup of flour and half cup of warm water. (This is called feeding your starter)
    Place back in 70-80 degree room.
    Feed your starter every 24 hours until your starter begins to bubble on top. When starter begins to bubble, put it in the fridge and feed it once a week, it's ready to use anytime after it's been refridgerated.

  6. Lime Shrimp Salad

    1 lb shrimp
    1 lg avocado
    1 med/large tomatoe
    1 jalepeno
    1/4 cup red onion
    2 limes
    cilantro (as much as you prefer)

    Juice two limes and combine with red onion to mellow the onion flavor. Let sit for about 5 minutes. While sitting, Chop the remaining ingredients into bite size chunks with the exception of the jalepeno which you would dice into small pieces after taking the seeds out. Combine together and put salt and pepper to taste. This is sooooo light and refreshing!
