Red Wine Mushroom Quesadillas




Tasty Mushroom Quesadillas






Ingredients 

1/4 cup butter
1/2 tablespoon flour
1 button mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup dry red wine
3/4 cup broth
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

 Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Whisk in flour until smooth
Whisk in wine, broth, Worcestershire sauce until smooth
Add in mushrooms and onions.
Cook over medium heat until mushrooms and onions are tender, stirring occasionally.

We serve this over rice, or as a side dish to beef at times.
When there's leftovers, I do this:

Heat griddle. Grease lightly. Place on tortilla flat in the pan. Using a slotted spoon so the juices will drain, spoon a layer of mushrooms on the tortilla. Add a sprinkling of Monterrey jack or mozzarella cheese. Top with another tortilla.
Flip when bottom is crisped.

Remove from heat when cheese is melted. Let cool for a minute, then slice and serve with the warmed sauce form the mushrooms, sour cream, or a salsa.

Add in mushrooms, wine, broth, onion, garlic and Worcestershire sauce; cook until the mushrooms are tender and the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally (about 40 minutes).

Top Five : Quotes I love from Shelley



 



Perhaps one of my favorite all time poets, just for the sheer beauty of the way he put words together, is Percy Shelley. Shelley was a major Romantic poet, so of course we were introduced to him in school. I'd have to say he was one of my first literary crushes. 

And quite possibly one of the longest standing. 

Ever Faithful, that's me.  



Here are a few of my favorite lines from his work. 




          
All love is sweet,
Given or returned. Common as light is love,
And its familiar voice wearies not ever."


Nothing in the world is single,
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle —
Why not I with thine?


The wise want love; and those who love want wisdom;

Age cannot Love destroy,
But perfidy can blast the flower,
Even when in most unwary hour
It blooms in Fancy’s bower.


“Teach us, Sprite or Bird,
What sweet thoughts are thine:
I have never heard / Praise of love or wine
That panted forth a flood of rapture so divine.”

The Cold War, the Space Race, the fledgling rumblings of Civil Rights movements – all of these were part of the consciousness of the time. Amid all these discoveries and rapid-fire changes, some of the world’s most exciting and innovative music sprang up.

Rush Around the Clock by Silvia Violet – Finn McMurphy convinces himself his spoiled dogs are all the company he needs. Until he meets his sexy new neighbor, Crawford, and everything changes.

His Dream Lover by Lee Brazil – In a private hospital room, motionless and still beneath a sheet, lies Joseph Caldwell. Anesthesiologist Oliver Gideon is racked with guilt and confusion. Could he have somehow done something wrong?

It’s Only Make Believe by Havan Fellows – Acting out or acting up, Dyer's whole life has been nothing but a game of make believe. When he needs his best friend's gay brother Derrick to help him land the role of a lifetime, the line between fantasy and reality doesn't just blur, it disappears altogether.

The Line by Angel Martinez - Rafael Schiller, vampire and sexual god without peer, believes he’s the top of the food chain, until a bizarre creature feeding in an alley scares the deathless hell out of him.

Crawl in Bed With R. Brennan





Crawling Into Bed With R. Brennan
And a Good Book



Important things first, are these sheets silk or cotton? 

Cotton. I'm a comfort girl all the way.

What are you wearing?

 Boxers and a t-shirt. Nothing worse than waking in the morning after wearing a silk nightie to bed to find your boob hanging out of your top... I like things to stay where they belong, you know? 


What are we snacking on in bed while we read tonight?

That always depends. The only constant in my late night snacking habits is Hagen Daaz (sp) Pineapple Coconut ice cream which the Bohunk has dubbed "sexcream" We share a pint...uh...in bed... occasionally. Yes. That. 

If I open this nightstand drawer, what will I find?

You don't want to do that... Well, you might, but I assure you that drawer is R rated.

Do you roll up in the blankets like a burrito, or kick the covers off during the night?
One foot out and no tucked sheets. I'm a tall lady, and I hate when my feet get pushed flat, so I skip those hospital corners.

Can I put my cold feet on your calves to warm them up?

Only if I can do it back. I have notoriously cold feet, though. So beware.

What are we reading? LEAP OF FAITH



Blurb: New submissive, Faith Daniels is completely infatuated with her amazing Dominant, Richard Halstead, so when he sends her a summons via text message a full day before they had plans to meet, she can barely contain her excitement.

But, Richard didn’t just invite her over for a play date. Not this time. He has a proposition for Faith. One that could change the rest of her life.

Buy Links:

Excerpt (Mature Audiences Only): Strong hands grabbed hold of her kneecaps, startling her. Richard jerked her legs apart until she knelt in an exposed V position. His voice arrived close to her ear, sending a chill through her. “When I ask you to kneel for me, this is how you are to do it. I want you to display your desire. Show your need with the pride of a submissive. Do you understand me, Faith?”

Her body ached for his touch. The brush of his hand, the caress of a breast. Anything. She’d even welcome the slap of his paddle if it meant he’d touch her again. “Yes, Sir.” Her voice was little more than a hoarse whisper.

“That’s my girl.” He slid a finger along her wet opening. Half a breath later, she heard his lips smack together, as if he’d just finished eating barbeque ribs. “Sweet nectar.” His hand returned to probe her slit. A finger entered her.

A gasp of pleasure tore from Faith’s throat, contorting into a whimper when he withdrew from her quivering pussy.

He traced a fingertip over her mouth, coating her lips with the evidence of her arousal.
The carnal scent of her juices surrounded her, pushing Faith toward the mindless black abyss of wanton need. Her nails dug into the flesh of her forearms as she willed herself to resist reaching for him again.

Two fingers forced their way into her mouth. “Taste your desire.”

Faith sucked them clean, her tongue swirling sensually around each offered digit.

Richard abruptly withdrew his hand and moved away.

Solitude rushed in to fill the space he left behind, leaving Faith breathless.

He signaled his return a few pounding heartbeats later with the ‘snap’ of his leash on her collar. “Come, pet,” he commanded.

Be Yourself

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e.e. cummings, 1955
