Asian Unicorn or "Bicorn," HA!

So apparently, The Guardian reported that an "Asian Unicorn" was captured. This species is also known as Saola. The animal was found in Laos where it also died a couple days later. The first ever "Asian Unicorn" was found in 1992. It is believed that only a few hundred exist in the wild now.

This picture was taken when it was still alive.

Thoughts??

Confession: My friend posted this on FB. My response: "Umm...aren't UNIcorns meant to have UNI - one - sharp pointy thingy popping outta its head? I'd just like to point out that this one has TWO. Either it's a bicorn or goat. 


According to WIKIPEDIA - I quote - 'Most goals naturally have two horns...' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat - UNDER 'ANATOMY')


INTERESTING. This so-called "Asian Unicorn" really resembles a goat...hmmm...Is it only me or am I taking crazy pill?"

I was a little harsh on the poor Saola.

Jacquie is back. Food is back. Bon appetit!

I haven't been making any amazing meals recently. I feel like I need to set aside time for myself to do things I enjoy. Perhaps it will help me relax.

The most recent thing I'm doing to help me relax is reading. If you know me, I NEVER READ! Leisurely, that is. Of course, I read my text books for class and all, but I've never bought a book to read "for fun." Usually, they put me to sleep. However, I was in Borders a couple weeks ago and saw Chelsea Handler's newest book Chelsea Bang Bang, so I picked it up. The first three pages captured me and that was the start of Jacquie reading!!! My goal, to read all three of her books.

So the last food that I made and documented was adapted from Sandra Lee's Focaccini that I saw on TV the other day.

I don't even know what Focaccini is, so I'm going to call mine...

Pizzscuit
- 1 Roll of Pillsbury Flaky Biscuit
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 1 small can of artichoke
- Olive Oil
- Italian Seasoning

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put about 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a bowl. Add about a teaspoon of italian seasoning and garlic. Separate the biscuit (about 8 per roll) on a baking sheet. Flatten them a bit. Brush the seasoning on generously. Put as much tomato and artichoke on top as desired. Optional: add blue cheese on top. Sandra lee did this on her show, but I forgot. It still turned out excellent and healthier!! The option is there though!! Bake for about 13-15 minutes, or until the biscuits start to brown.

Voila! Bon appetit!

This is a fantastic snack and easy to make. My friends came over, had the "Pizzscuit" with some salad and watched Keeping up with the Kardashians! Excellent night. Enjoy the rest of yours!

Confession: I know I write a lot about food, BECAUSE I LOVE IT, but I also love The Biggest Loser. It's on tonight!!!

Short, but back!

I haven't updated in awhile....
My life has been on a rollarcoaster. I've been prepping myself for the next phase in my life.
In three months, it will mark the finish of my college life. At this very, current moment, I'm not ready.

After my last post...I lost internet connection as I was in the process of moving. Then, it was my birthday the next day. August 30th. Following, school started again. It's shocking how fast time can go by.

I'm slowly getting back into a routine.

My wellness class is definitely top on my interesting list. Last class, we put crayon to an A3 piece of paper.

Sound ridiculous, but..it worked! Before we started the exercise, the professor said..."Remember how you're feeling now." Then we went crazy and interpreted (via drawing) what we thought wellness was. At the end of class, the professor as who felt worse, the same, or better. Most people felt better and there were select people that felt the same. However, no one felt worse. It's interesting how drawing could have such an impact. Maybe because it brings us back to childhood? No worries?

Then, on Monday, she cancelled class so we can have a Mind&Body day. It's a day for us to wake up early and use class time for something that will de-stress us. I've decided to wake up and make breakfast with my boyfriend. I'll tell you how it all works out.

In the meantime, considering drawing.
Here are some other de-stressing techniques: http://www.helpguide.org/mental/stress_relief_meditation_yoga_relaxation.htm
