Flickr mosaic tag

I wasn't officially tagged, but when I saw this over on Paris Tarts, I wanted to do it! Its probably the most fun meme I've ever seen.

The rules of the tagging:
-Type your answer to the questions into Flickr search.
- Using only the first page, pick an image.
- Copy and paste each of the URLS of the images into the mosaic maker.

1.What is your first name? Adiel
2.What is your favorite food? Spinach lasagna
3.What high school did you go to? Hunter High
4.What is your favorite color? Pink
5.Who is your celebrity crush? John Krasinski
6.Favorite drink? Water
7.Dream vacation? Europe
8.Favorite dessert? Cheesecake
9.What you want to be when you grow up? Successful
10.What do you love most in life? My loved ones
11.One word to describe you? ambiguous
12.Your flickr name. triplyksis (there was no match for that, so I typed "no match")

The result:

1. Welcome to Adiel'hoc, 2. Lasagna, 3. Hunter High football lights fund raiser in 1994, 4. pink gadgets, 5. John Krasinski Gap Ad, 6. Water is life!, 7. Old New Europe, 8. strawberry cheescake, 9. 245 - Successful Colour Photography, 10. Love Knows the Way, My Heart Will Find You, 11. ambiguous space, 12. bookshelf spectrum, revisited

Book Tag

I got this one from over on Insane Mama blog...

1. Pick up the nearest book.
2. Open to page 123
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people, and acknowledge who tagged you.

The nearest book to me is The Host by Stephenie Meyer.

Found sentence five, here are the next three...
"Her face was a mass of wrinkles, all of them turning down into angry lines. But there was something familiar about the features behind the lines. Melanie made the connection between the ancient face and another, smoother face in her memory."

Sure paints a picture, right?

Lets see, I will tag Wendy, Marrdy, alicatstrut, Paint and Soul and Stephanie.

Recipe Tag - Pita Pizza

Julie tagged me to share a recipe.
I'm not one to cook much more than pasta or go full out with huge pans of lasagna, both of which don't really come from a recipe.
This is one that has been on my radar to try out however.

From Self.com.

"

Get your pizza fix with this guilt-free personal pie. It's cheesy, nutritious (only 279 calories!) and won't take you more than 12 minutes to make!
PITA PIZZA

Serves 1

INGREDIENTS
1 tsp olive oil
1 6-inch whole-wheat pita
1/4 cup canned, diced tomatoes
1 basil leaf
1/4 cup torn fresh spinach leaves
1/4 cup roasted red peppers
1/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella

PREPARATION
Drizzle olive oil over pita. Mix tomatoes and basil and spread over pita. Add spinach leaves. Layer peppers over the spinach and top with mozzarella. Broil 4 minutes or until cheese melts.

THE SKINNY
279 calories per pizza
10.5 g fat (4 g saturated)
33.5 g carbs
6 g fiber
15 g protein"

I'm sure any preferred toppings would work on the pita bread crust so get creative with these personal pizzas! Let me know when you try it and I'll do the same.

I tag Wendy, Kristina, Megan, Bethea and Julianna.
