The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book

I loved this book!  I finished it yesterday and I have to say that it is one of the best books I have read in a while.  It kept me intriqued and fascinated.  The plot was fantastic! I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.  I am really looking forward to the movie in December now.

Reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I have just started reading the book, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, by Stieg Larsson.  I have seen the previews for the movie and it looks good, but I want to read the book before I see the movie.  I'll give my review of the book when I have finished reading it and then my review of the movie in December.  I have a dog eared copy I borrowed from the library.  I would like to try out a reading tablet someday, but there is just something about having the book in my hand, flipping back and forth through the pages, with a good cup of earl grey tea and a throw blanket that I don't want to give up just yet. Of course the only thing I would really be giving up is the paper book, the tea and throw blanket stays!

Breakfast on the run

I am one of those people that doesn't take the time to sit down and eat breakfast before going to work.  I l have a 20 minute commute, so I eat breakfast in the car.  I started making my own breakfast burritos and freezing them.  I like them much better than store bought ones or going through a drive through, which can get expensive if you eat out everyday.

I make my breakfast burritos with lean ground turkey, scrambled eggs, chopped peppers, cheese and a little salsa.  I lay them out on a pan after rolling them and freeze them before transferring them to freezer bags, that way they don't stick together inside the freezer bag.  1 minute in the microwave, wrap it in a linen napkin (home made of course) and I am off to work.

My son will get these out of the freezer, microwave it and have it for a after-school snack. 

I make them on the weekend and freeze enough to last the week.
