The Old and Beautiful
I love photography, and I search the web for it often. I have recently come across this picture of an old house below. This picture was found at the website below the photograph. I think you can find so much inspiration is everything. I find this old house to be extremely beautiful and romantic in its own way. To most people this old building looks run down, and some may even call it an eye sore. I on the other hand find it so beautiful, because of the mystery that it has. When I look at this house it makes me wonder who might have lived there, and the kind of people they were. I can almost imagine the men building it, and the proud looks they had on their faces once it was complete. There is also a beautiful vision of children playing in the garden, and even one day a beautiful wedding on the grounds. When you see a building like this next time think of everything it once was and stood for. Pictures like that really make you want to take the time to appreciate the beauty in everything around you.

New Year-New Way of Eating!!!!
It's the beginning of a new year and what better way to start out than to find a new and healthy way of eating. Eating healthy doesn't have to be plain and non flavourful! There are so many options these days. I have had trouble in the past sticking to a new way of eating because all the "diet" food didn't have a good flavor, and it made me miss my old way of eating. I always would fall back into the old bad habits of eating food that wasn't good for me. Below I have attached a recipe that is good for you, and to go along with it you can make a great salad and make it a meal!
In a large bowl stir together garlic, finely chopped rosemary, lemon juice and 3 tablespoons oil and add shrimp. Marinate shrimp, covered and chilled, at least 4 hours or overnight.
Soak skewers in water to cover 30 minutes and prepare grill.
To grill, thread 4 shrimp on each skewer and brush with additional oil. Grill shrimp on an oiled rack, set about 5 inches over glowing coals, 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through. Do not overcook.
If you do not have a grill, simply brush shrimp with additional oil and grill in a hot well-season ridged grill pan, covered, over moderately high heat 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
Garnish shrimp with rosemary sprigs and serve with lemon wedges.
