Just a brief shout-out to let you know that I WILL post a recipe for this week, tomorrow, for Lemon Garlic Tilapia.  I know, I know, it's a day late, but I've been distracted.  I'm excited to try this recipe tomorrow.  Some of you may know, for those of you who don't, I am a vegetarian and I LOVE fish.  I am also very aware that a vast amount of people like meat, so I tend to cater to them when I cook.  So tomorrow's post is going to be more of a selfish post in that I'll be featuring fish.  Now, I love most fish but I don't have a lot of experience cooking it.  In the past I have shied away from cooking it, afraid that I wouldn't do it justice.  Tomorrow I'll be trying a recipe I found on allrecipes.com, it received good reviews and I'm excited to give it a try :)

 Now, as to what has had me distracted this past week.  The Olympics.  I LOVE THE OLYMPICS!!!!!  Always have, always will, it's that simple.  And yes, I am one of those people that even watch the opening and closing ceremonies.  Although, I have to say that I do happen to find the parade of nations, a little long.  But this year it moved along at a refreshing clip.  I love cheering for the underdog and for my fellow countrymen.  One of the highlights of the Olympics, for me, is to watch the medal ceremonies and hear the national anthem for my country being played.  I like to watch the winner's reaction to hearing the anthem and seeing the flag being raised, watching to see if they tear up and cry.  To me, the Olympics represent a time, and unfortunately all to brief, where the world comes together and celebrates goodness and the human spirit.  Differences are put aside and relations are forged between foreign nations.  Now, this is just my opinion and how I see the Olympics.  I know not everyone will agree, but we are all welcome to our own opinion. 

 That being said, I will be back tomorrow with the aforementioned recipe.  I hope you all have a restful night and a wonderful Monday :)
