Pinterest

Oh no.  Week 8 is here and I have a new addition (besides blogging and Facebook). Pinterest.

Pinterest is a unique new social media that allows you to share cool things you find on the Internet with others similar to Tumblr and StumbleUpon.  However, this site allows you to organize what you find by 'pinning' photos onto 'boards.'  You can find a range of unique things on this site and share your own with people who follow you.

Example of my boards

When I was first invited, I was able to link my Pinterest through Facebook which automatically followed friends on Facebook that were also on Pinterest.  This allows you too look at your friends and others boards and 'pin' items you find unique to your board.

Boards can be divided into topics. For example I have Travel Across the World, So Much Food!, Movies, My Style, and of course Wedding Ideas.  It can be tailored to your specific personality and you can search for things that you are in the mood for.  I am in the mood to look at Wedding pins so Pinterest gives me just that.  While surfing on the Internet, Pinterest gives you a Pin bookmark that allows you to easily share anything you want with people on your Pinterest account.

Example of a Pin for Travel

Overall, this is a pretty good site and it is gaining the attention of many different people (specifically women who want to plan a wedding that is the common joke).  I think you should check it out to see if it's right for you! The only problem is that you need an invite to be able to sign up for an account.

Interested but don't know anyone on Pinterest? Comment and I will invite you!

ASL Music Video: Rolling in the Deep

Being at RIT, I try my best to pick up as much ASL as I can so I can communicate effectively with deaf and hard-of-hearing students.  I frequently watch the interpreters in my classes to the point where the interpreters hink that I am a deaf student (at the beginning of the quarter's classes) or that I am an interpreting major.  Truth is, I just like watching.  It can give a visual representation along with listening.

In addition to watching interpreters, taking ASL classes I also like to watch ASL Music Videos.  Thanks to Meghan Lima, I've been able to experience an interpreter, Kelly Greer on YouTube who is absolutely fantastic!  She many music videos on her channel such as "Grenade" by Bruno Mars and "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele (featured below).

CHICKEN. WING. DIP.

FOOTBALL. GO BLUE TEAM!

So I really don't know much about football.  What I do know, it that I love the commercials and the food associated with it.  All of the pizza, chicken wings, and chicken wing dip is enough to make me buy Tums in bulk for the next month and a half.  But what can I say? It's certainly too delicious to pass up.

Because Chicken Wing Dip is mine and my boyfriend's favorite dish, we decided to experiment with the recipe and created our own!

Here is my all time favorite Chicken Wing Dip recipe for your Super Bowl Party:

1 bottle (12oz) of Hot Sauce
1 bottle (16oz) of Blue Cheese Dressing
8 oz of Sour Cream
4-8 medium sized chicken breasts (depending on how much chicken you want in your dip, I normally go for 8)
2 bags (8 cups) of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
2 cans of Refried Beans
4 eggs

(Are you starting to see why I have so much heartburn?)

1) Cut up chicken breasts into smaller pieces and coat with egg yolk
2) Cook chicken thoroughly
3) Mix Hot Sauce, Blue Cheese Dressing, Sour Cream, Cheese and Refriend Beans together
4) Stir in the chicken and place in a 8x10 cooking dish
5) Bake in oven for 40 mins at 350 degrees

Bam! Enjoy your delicious Chicken Wing Dip with chips!
