What are you addicted to?
Come on, everyone has something. Beyond the typical subjects, it could be something like exercise, video games, worrying, or really anything else out there. The addiction can shift as time goes on and some people go from addiction to addiction.
My latest addiction is my iPhone. Dispensing up front about this or that technology is best, I just cannot put the device down. It is my mobile communication device (calling, email and texting), camera, stereo, primary source of news (Internet), entertainment (podcasts and games) and home productivity device (mobile banking, blog writing, menu planning and recipe storage). As my watchband is tearing apart, it will soon be my watch as well.
When I wake up, I turn off my alarm and even before I am out of bed, I pick it up. The glow is my nightlight to get out of my dark bedroom (and not disturbing my sleeping wife). It is with me all day, every day, and is once again my nightlight to walk to my bed at night.
One of the things I am able to do is use bits and pieces of time to look for some new recipes. I found this one and thought it was so interesting, I saved it right away…in Paprika on my iPhone.
There is a host of flavors and textures in this tostada. The crunch and creaminess go great together.
Yes, that is canned salmon. It worked great for this recipe.
