Life is full of wonderful surprises

Well first I must say to my readers (all two of you) that my first attempt at the EA Sports Active 30-Day Challenge was a failure. I am in the process of moving out of my apartment while housesitting for another home at the same time, and somehow my commitment to exercise got lost in the commotion. So, once I get settled down a little bit I am going to re-start the entire thing. If I'm going to do it, I want to do it right.

On a side note, life keeps surprising me. I have been very blessed to get this housesitting gig while I search for a job. I recently shared correspondence with a very fantastic (and might I add famous) photographer last week. And I may have some potential jobs in the works. I just can't stop smiling when I think about how life works sometimes. 

Anyway, on to some REAL news. The Apple Worldwide Developers Conference started yesterday. Execs wasted no time at all making some major announcements: improved MacBook Pros with faster processors and a new SD card slot (plus a lower price); iPhone 3GS with improved camera and voice commands; and iPhone 3G prices dropped as low as $99.

Then, the really exciting, sexy Apple announcement: Snow Leopard.

Yes, I called an OS sexy. But it is. The $29 operating system upgrade comes out in September, and boasts a whole lot of somewhat confusing technical upgrades, like 64-bit support (basically it can do a whole lot of thinking at once). But real exciting things for me include the new dock/exposé combination, and that this OS will be stinking fast with unheard of potential!

Final nerdy bits from WWDC: Safari 4 (totally awesome) and Quicktime 10 (with sweet new editing features and friendlier interface). 

My final comments for this are don't be intimidated by new technology. I sometimes get overwhelmed reading things on Twitter, Wired and Mashable because I feel like things are just SO over my head. But the truth is, regular people like myself can find new technology exciting and fascinating, even if we don't understand all the technical parts. 

Kelsey out.

Hey, thanks so much for your comment! I really enjoyed learning a bit about you, hearing your experience, and now having the opportunity to answer your question.

I think adding the extra can of soup probably drowned out a little bit of the flavor. For next time, if you need more sauce or more creaminess, add in some jarred salsa verde -probably 2/3 cup. Alternatively you could add another can of green chilies too, they give a lot of flavor without adding heat. You can always add salt too! It will just enhance the flavor that you already have going on.

When I make the chicken, I make sure it is seasoned really well. Also, give the sauce a taste before cooking to make sure it has enough flavor.

Really hope that helps, thanks a lot!
