At Our Pace

Schedules are good.  They bring order to chaos.  Balance to instability.  Reason to things that don't have reason.  (Sorry, that was weak.  Couldn't think of an antonym for reason.  It's early and I've had a long weekend....Syracuse lost and the Celtics got spanked by San Antonio last night).

Hummus is awesome.  You can eat it as a dip, use it as a spread on sammiches, or eat it with a friggin spoon.

Like many great recipes, the basics are a platform upon which you can build whatever you like. 

The Basics:

        For the past several years, I have been searching for a way to keep up with the grocery list.. you know, that item that everyone talks about, and usually forgets on the trip to the store....or forgets an item that we need from the store because we forgot to write it on the list...

"Back Spasm -

A spasm is a spontaneous, abnormal contraction of a muscle. When it occurs in the back near the spinal cord or the nerve roots, it can be very painful."

   AOP is a group with a common purpose.  We support each other and want to see every one of us succeed.  Everyone.  However, I’m going to take this moment to talk specifically about The Girls Team.

That's right.  I did it.  I made another B movie reference. Take that!

Pan-Fried Panko Coated Tilapia with Brown Rice and Broccoli.

For the fish:

6 Fillets of Tilapia, preferably fresh, although frozen is ok (and what is used here)

1/3 Cup Light or Olive-Oil based Mayo

1/3 Cup Spicy Mustard (or regular brown mustard)

Hot Sauce (in case you used regular mustard)

Panko Bread Crumbs

Old Bay Seasoning (to taste)

Kosher Salt (to taste)

Vegetable Oil for frying, 1 & 1/2 Tablespoon per batch of fish

As with most things in my life, my brain, over packed to the brim with impossibily nerdy things like Star Wars/Trek trivia, a complete working knowledge of WoW (even though I haven't played in a couple of years), and other such things, attaches a Simpsons, Family Guy or Futurama quote to nearly everything I do.  Failing that, I can always fall back on "that's what she said"...and often do.
