How I Feel About Harry Potter

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 19:50:17 -0400

When Sirius dies:

When Hedwig dies:

When Dobby dies:

When the barrier around Hogwarts falls:

When Ron and Hermione kiss:

When Harry and Ginny kiss:

When someone asks me if I have any favorite ships:

When I spend a whole day reading Potter fics:

When someone tells me they’ve watched the movies, but not read the books:

When someone insults my OTP:

When someone tells me they don’t like Harry Potter:

When someone tells me Twilight is better:

When someone tells me they’re childish books:

When I meet someone and find out they love Harry Potter too:

When someone casually tells me Evannah Lynch is beautiful:

When I’m watching a Harry Potter movie and someone says they want to watch something else:

When someone asks if I want to watch a Potter movie:

When I finish the books and movies and start to get sad, realizing that’s all there is I remember:

thecakebar:

If you have to make a decision on which organic fruits or vegetables to buy because you are on a budget, choose the products on the Environmental Working Group’s the dirty dozen list to buy organically and buy the conventional items on the safe 15 list.

The reason most, if no all, of the “Dirty Dozen” foods are packed with more pesticides is because they have a very thin skin that makes them more likely to absorb chemicals.

Serves 4

For an easy side dish that’s a great match for this cheesy, baked eggplant parmesan, sauté broccoli rabe in a bit of olive oil with some chopped garlic and red pepper flakes, then finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.

Ingredients

1 large eggplant, sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces (about eight)
2 eggs, beaten with a fork
1 1/2 cups panko bread crumbs (sundried tomato or plain)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil*
1 (25-ounce) jar pasta sauce (roasted vegetable or any variety)*
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese*
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

Method

Preheat oven with a baking sheet inside to 375°F. Coat eggplant slices with beaten egg, then bread with panko crumbs. Spread oil on hot baking sheet and place eggplant slices on it in a single layer. Bake 15 minutes, flip and bake another 10 minutes.

Increase oven temperature to 475°F. In an 8 x 10-inch ovenproof dish, layer pasta sauce, then eggplant, and top with cheeses. Repeat, finishing with cheese. Bake until the cheese melts and turns golden in spots, about 15 minutes.

BAKED OATMEAL WITH STRAWBERRIES, BANANA AND CHOCOLATE

Ingredients

2 cups old fashioned rolled oats

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

1 teaspoon Chinese five spice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup walnut pieces, chopped

1 cup sliced strawberries

1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

2 cups milk

1 large egg

3 tablespoons butter, melted

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ripe banana, peeled, 1/2-inch slices

Method

Preheat oven to 375°F and generously spray the inside of a 10-1/2 by 7 inch baking dish with cooking spray and place on a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, mix together the oats, sugar, baking powder, orange zest, Chinese five spice, salt, half the walnuts, half the strawberries and half the chocolate. (Save the other half of strawberries, walnuts and chocolate for the top of the oatmeal). In another large bowl, whisk together the milk, egg, butter and vanilla extract.

Add the oat mixture to prepared baking dish. Arrange the remaining strawberries, walnuts and chocolate on top. Add the banana slices to the top then pour the milk mixture over everything. Gently shimmy/shake the baking dish to help the milk mixture go throughout the oats.

Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until the top is nicely golden brown and the milk mixture has set. For an extra tasty top, sprinkle a tablespoon or so of extra brown sugar on top then place back in the oven under the broiler and broil for 20-30 seconds. Serve warm with an extra sprinkle of sugar or drizzle of maple syrup. (source)
