Paper or E?

Since the beginning of the year, I've been reading more than I did last year. Part of it is because I have finally adapted back into working full time and have figured out how to spread everything around, the other reason is my tablet PC. I can have multiple books on there I can read whenever I want.  And with the exception of a book coming out in May that I plan on buying in paperback (I already have the rest of the set that way), I see more e-books in my future.

I don't miss the paper feel or smell. I do find flipping back to that earlier section to compare something a little more challenging than with a paperback, but I don't flip back that often, so it really isn't a problem.

What about you? Are you reading more e-books than paper? Why do you prefer one over the other?

Recipe Friday!

Happy Friday!  Hope you've all had a good week.  I'm still looking for recommendations on an e-reader, so if you have any, let me know!

For today's recipe, I decided for a simple sandwich that I've enjoyed a lot.  There are two ways to make this (maybe even more!) so, have fun with it.

Tuna Melt
1 can tuna fish (more if you are feeding more than 2-3)
1/2 a brick of cheddar cheese,  (or whatever cheese you favor), shredded
mayo (a couple tablespoons or more-- however much you like for tuna salad)
salt, pepper, and seasonings of your choice
rolls and aluminum foil, or bread and butter

Mix the tuna, cheese, and mayo and seasonings in a dish.  Spread on rolls and wrap in aluminum foil.  Bake in 350 oven for about 10-15 minutes (until cheese is melted).  Or, butter one side of each slice of bread, put tuna mixture on unbuttered sides, and grill on the stove top (like grilled cheese).

Enjoy!  And have a great weekend!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Top o' the mornin' to ye!  I remember being in elementary school and everyone being "Irish" for the day.  We would pick to add "O'" or "Mc" to our last names, our teachers would leave "piles of gold" on our desks (usually pennies) and there was always the mysterious leprechaun who got into our desk and messed them up.  We had a blast!

Hopefully today will be just as fun for you and your families!

On a side note, I am considering getting an e-reader and have narrowed it down to a Nook and a Kindle.  I am looking for pros and cons.  Let me know your thoughts (good or bad) about either!  (Or other suggestions.)  I'd like to be able to import text documents into it and apply editing marks (comments and notes).

May the road rise up to meet you!
