In Dreams

This is what I look like every morning.. in my bed.

I’ve had some interesting dreams of late. I know God has sometimes shown me things in dreams.. where I’ve woken up and just instantly had a revelation. I might awake with a new perspective on something and/or I’ll feel like I need to go in a direction where previously there was no direction. Or I’ll awake with hope when I was seeking exactly that. Not all of my dreams are this profound though!

Have you ever seen a movie where someone has died or someone has had a bad reaction to something and their heart has stopped -and nearby someone else has produced a syringe with adrenalin and stabbed it directly into the persons heart? In that instant – life is brought back to them -suddenly -a gasp for air?! One of my dreams was like this a couple of days ago. I awoke with a fresh revelation that there was indeed ‘life’ in a situation I’m going through.

Movie. Maria desperately needs to change her life and this movie follows her journey as she falls into life as a drug mule.

I will finish with an Optional Maria Poll #6. I haven’t done one in ages (So I will be keen to hear your answers!). Since this is a Foodie’s blog.. it will be food related today.

Do you like tinned tuna? And ‘please explain’. I love this ‘Sirena’ brand (especially in oil, but drained) and the ‘Sole Mare’ brand below. I also like Greenseas or ‘Select’ Woolworths/Safeway brand in Olive Oil too, 2.5pts a tin. But I predominantly keep Tuna in Springwater (1pt) in the pantry and add my own flavourings depending on my mood. Eg. WW sour cream, or a small amount of mayo.. or cottage cheese, sweet chilli sauce.. there’s so many things you can do with it. In my sandwich today I mixed Springwater Tuna with some WW sourcream +coriander + sweet chilli and put that in a sandwich with a small amount of hommus and some cos lettuce leaves. I occasionally buy flavoured tuna eg. with seeded mustard mayo, or with ‘carrots and corn’.. I noticed in Coles last week there’s a new line out there in mayonnaise type dressings. All ‘affordable’ for snacks and meals point-wise. I love mixing a tin of (drained) Olive Oil Tuna through good taglietelle egg pasta with parmesan, cracked pepper and lemon. The single orange tin in the pic below is Sole Mare’s ‘Tuna and Beans’ (a few kidney and cannelini beans sprinkled on top of the high quality flaked tuna).. very nice! I think I’m aware of at least three bloggers out there who don’t like fish/seafood… but what about in this form?
