Entry #6: I Taught Gordon Ramsay

Chef Amor here, 

Kidding

Throughout busy schedule, I try to find healthy and fast alternatives for meals. Scrolling through countless blogs, I came across one for healthy and fast pizza. After finding the holy grail of all healthy pizza recipes, I found myself at my local Walmart with a cart full of items. 

You can pretty much put anything on a personal pizza. For example: the moment I had shown my friends my little creation I was mocked for the heaps of onions I just threw on top. I guess learn how to cut onions or forever cry (Kidding). The blog: “Eat Yourself Skinny” does a great job at explaining how to make their flavorful Pita Pizza.


Whole Wheat Pita Bread Pizza

What you’ll need:

• 4 whole-wheat pita breads (about 7½ inches)
• 1 yellow bell pepper, seeds removed and julienned
• 3 oz. fresh mozzarella, grated
• Fresh basil, sliced
• For the sauce:
• ¼ tsp. olive oil
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp. dried oregano
• ½ tsp. dried basil
• ¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
• 1 bay leaf
• ½ of a 28 oz. can whole peeled tomatoes, roughly chopped
• ¼ cup tomato paste

How to make this secret delicacy:    

"1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2.To make the tomato sauce, heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute onion and garlic until fragrant and slightly browned (about 4 minutes) then add the rest of your ingredients. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, allowing tomato sauce to simmer for about 35 minutes. Sauce should become thick.

3.On two baking sheets, assemble pita bread and spread about ⅓ cup of sauce on each. Add bell pepper slices and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Transfer to the oven and bake for roughly 20 minutes, until cheese has melted and crust is slightly browned. Remove from oven an sprinkle with fresh basil. Cut into slices and enjoy!" - Kelly from Eat Yourself Skinny

1 of these pizzas equals (roughly) a whopping 275 Calories! How can you beat that. 

Make sure to have fun with it! You don't always have to follow a recipe. There are far too many substitutes for a pita pizza. I usually add: spinach, onions, jalapenos, pepperoni, bacon if i'm feeling extra thick, and cheese. From picky eaters who only like cheese to people like myself who throw spinach on it, you will find that Pita pizza is suitable for anyone. 

I am getting hungry just from typing this! I encourage you all to experiment and make your own.

Entry #5: Mayhem On Your Highway

Woe I love fries!

Okay, okay I know we all have lazy days where everything feels sluggish. While having one of these days my schedule will definitely have fast food upon it. Now I don't ever throw my trash out the window, I know there are many careless people who do. Whether you’re the careless person who litters or the person driving behind the littering car, Allstate has your back.

This video acknowledges the dangers of throwing trash out the window while driving on the road. A person who is affected by the falling trash may get into an accident. The trash is then shuffled between cars until finally it reaches the side of the road. When trash is put out into the environment, animals can get to it and digest it. From the original person who littered, it created a chain of dangerous events. The point of this ad is to show drivers that careless people surround you and even the simplest thing can cause an accident. 

The target audience for this ad is a person who eats fast food in their car and created an accident by throwing trash out of the car window. The person pretending to be trash says, “If you got cut rate insurance, you could be paying for this yourself”. To make this serious matter humorous, they made the narrator the role of trash. The person is thrown out of the window, which causes a car to swerve into a guard rail. Following the accident the person is swept underneath the car and hit by a Mack truck. Finally he is tossed out to the side and eaten by bears. 

Although American culture is viewed upon as unhealthy and careless, this ad seems to lighten the tense situation with dark humor. Some may have feelings towards litter and others may be cold towards the situation. While it may seem funny, the ad also has a cold feel towards the atmosphere. 

In Allstate reality, get insurance. And guys, take care of your trash!

Entry #4: I’m sorry.

                                                             
IGN Amor here,  

A girl gamer? No way.

I am sorry it had to come to this my blogger fans :Kappa:

My lovely ex boyfriend had gotten me hooked on the player based moba called Smite.  Everything about that sentence sounds terrible. After countless hours of watching him play smite, I decided to try it for myself. I’d like to consider myself the worst-best player or the best-worst player when it comes to Smite. You’d think after four years I’d learn how to use “W,A,S,D” properly (The letters W,A,S,D are the keys used to move around and control your god). Another big thank you to my ex for showing me the game but not showing me how to move efficiently. Even though I tend to joke my gaming disability along with many other gamers, I don't actually think im too bad. There's this giant stigma where girl gamers fall into a bad category. I just happen to be on top (Just kidding).

I think this is the part where I flex my season four master joust border. Or I can just flex my friends. They’re the big brain gamers here, not me. 

In all seriousness, Smite can either feel like a tired game, or a game that anyone can enjoy. Between making friends or just mastering your favorite god, Smite has something for everyone. Now and days I find myself playing the modes: Assault, Joust, Ranked Joust & Ranked Conquest. The mode of conquest is the main mode where the biggest brained gamers or pros play on. When entering any mode, you might hear the words “scrub” or “Noob”. Don't be discouraged.. Just call them a noob back (kidding). 

(Aphrodite below)

You may be identified by the god you choose. For example, if you instalock Loki on the lobby screen you may also find yourself reading the letters “GG” (No one likes to have a Loki in their game). The typical egirl will choose healer based gods like Aphrodite or Hel. Where as the strong and masculine (that's a joke) eboys will choose Susano or King Arthur. I on the other hand have a large god pool. A god can be ranked one through ten (anything after ten will be given a star). I have 54 diamonds (Level ten gods) out of the 101 gods in the game. For the most part, I am able to understand every god in the game. My current favorite gods consist of Hou Yi, Ra, and Sylvanus. Atypical if you ask me. 

At the end of the day, Smite is the best game to ever be created.

10/10 Would recommend.

Entry #3: A Taste of Winter

Frosty Amor here, 

Do you ever stop to actually taste what you’re eating? The other day I stumbled upon this perception.

 

As the brisk chill of winter begins to flow over my shoulders, I am obligated to cover them. My fingers fail to meet the edges of that soft and fluffy cardigan I keep laying around. I instead reach for something cold and stiff at the lining of my bag. The lid bursts open and I scramble to place the tiny and white indulgence back into the metal container. After cleaning that disaster of a mess up in my bag, I am able to peer my eyes upon my cardigan. I place one arm into the sleeve, followed by the other arm in the opposite sleeve. I reach into my pocket and I miraculously find a lost white treat. While it rested on the tips of my fingers, I couldn’t resist the urge of placing it on my tongue. 

The sugary flakes glistened upon my tongue. I breathed out and closed my eyes. The thoughts of this delicacy in my mouth were driven by Christmas morning in 06’. Thud. My brother and I jolted downstairs to gaze upon the mounds of presents at the bottom of our tree. On our coffee table laid the same metal container also found in my bag. I grabbed the treat resembling a snowflake and instantly noticed heaps of fluffy snow falling from the sky. “What a perfect morning” my thirteen year old brother exclaimed. While respectively allowing our mother to sleep in on this joyous day, we threw on our snow gear and dashed outside. I opened my mouth to catch a snowflake and remembered my tongue was still pressed against the fresh confection.

My brother and I pounce in and out of the snow swiftly resembling a bobcat. Like the sound of the snow, I was crunching the sweet and round snack. “Let's build a snowman!” I shouted. My brother started on the base while I started on the stomach. Eventually we put him all together and started decorating. I ran inside, kicked off my boots, and grabbed a carrot from the fridge. I then noticed the container still open on our coffee table. I snatched another while holding my carrot and carefully decided not to track snow all over our house. The remainder of the day was filled with peace and love. I think back to this day often. When shopping at Target, I never forget to grab that joyous and breathtaking treat found in aisle six.

 

“To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake, it is necessary to stand out in the cold," says Aristotle
