Midnight Poem

The eerie laugh of silence,

On a wicked night.

Far away from violence,

Everything seems right.

Her face is pale and ashen,

Her lips as dark as blood.

Eyes are smoked with darkness,

Her white dress stained with mud.

She walks past you with ease,

A calmness in her voice.

Asks you to follow her,

Its really not your choice

A lone bench in the corner,

Asks you to sit beside her.

You stare into her pale blue eyes,

Her face contorts with anger.

In a web so tangled,

You know you cannot move.

You only have one option,

But nothing left to prove.

She touches you so softly,

Rids you of all your fear.

You close your eyes to darkness,

Your fate left up to her.

Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots



A delicious mouth watering recipe by Chef Tafari Campbell from Maryland. The Pan Roasted Glazed Rockfish with Peas and Carrots if you're catering for a party by the sea side. This recipe stands out because it has a variety of vegetables along with the Rockfish. I'd alter it by adding beans, not much of an altertation but just a little something extra. Tacos are my favorite and thinly sliced ones served with butter is what adds to the dish. The carrots, mushrooms and peas add to the taste making it dishier than if it were only a plain seafood dish with only seafood.

The other chefs at the cook off are just as talented and have come up with scrumptious dishes. It was difficult to choose my favorite. You can vote for your favorite at http://www.greatamericanseafoodcookoff.com/ and win a trip to New Orleans! They've got the judges hooked on to these recipes and I'm sure you will be too. This is one of America's top cooking competitions where the best compete against each other.

If you would like to cook food as great at this you should try these dishes out with domestic sea food. Firstly, its domestic, extremely sustainable and fresh! What tastes better than fresh food? I've reviewed over 50 recipes over the past few months and when it comes to seafood nothing tastes better than fresh sea food. It makes the dish juicier and adds to the taste. This recipe serves 8, if you're cooking for a larger crowd you will need to measure it accordingly.

I'm planning on making this for my cousin's baby shower on Friday for around 20 people. So I'll let you know how it comes out!

Phobias

Most people fear something and I’m no different. I am not going to talk about my phobias in this essay, instead I will briefly describe a few phobias that have fascinated me.

Ablutophobia, the fear of bathing. This is amusing. I have never come across someone with this phobia and hope I never will. Anablephobia is the fear of looking up. I think they they fear birds pooping in their eye which may cause them to go blind . Amathophobia, the fear of dust. I’m sure no one in India has this phobia. Arachibutyrophobia, this is a funny one. It is the fear of peanut butter being stuck to the roof of the mouth. Cacophobia is the fear of being ugly so, why has makeup been invented? Coprastasophobia , the fear of constipation, lets move on to the next one. Domatophobia, the fear of houses or being in a house. This is a new one, I haven’t heard of it before. Eleutherophobia, the fear of freedom. Eosophobia fear of daylight, vampires have this. Euphobia, fear of hearing good news. Geliophobia, fear of laughter. Genuphobia, fear of knees.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia- Fear of long words. Lachanophobia- Fear of vegetables. Olfactophobia- Fear of smells. Panophobia, fear of everything. Venustraphobia, fear of beautiful women.

After writing this, I think I’ve got a new fear, phobophobia, the fear of phobias.

Mortifying

I have always wanted to perform on stage but have never had the guts to do so. When I was in class 12 a friend of mine convinced me to dance with her in front of 130 people. I still do not know why I agreed to do so. We had a couple of weeks to practice and she taught me the steps. At the end of two weeks I seemed to know the steps very well. We rehearsed for the final time and I did not make any mistakes.

On the day of the show I was very nervous as I had never danced in front of so many people before. We started dancing and I was doing pretty well. The song was coming to an end when I suddenly forgot the last few steps. Instead of taking the cue from my friend and continuing with the dance I stopped and screamed, “Vidya I’ve forgotten the steps.” Everyone burst out laughing and I’d never been so mortified in my life.

Dress For Success

Wear what you want at home or o the movies or even to a fancy restaurant but when you're deciding what to wear to work you have to take out a little extra time. Sure you can dress comfortably but you also have to dress to impress for success. Some organizations do not have a strict dress code and employees are free to wear anything they feel like. If you are in an organization of that sort you have nothing to worry about. I've noticed most advertising agencies follow this dressing style.

Cool high waisted pants

If you work at an organization where you're expected to be prim and proper at all times- this is for the ladies-high waist formal pants are in now. Team that up with a silk or cotton formal shirt tucked in with a thin belt and a compact bag to go with it. You can wear this with semi closed or closed shoes with wedge heels. Stilettos may be slightly uncomfortable but is still worth a try.

You could also go with a straight cut skirt that ends slightly above the knees in colors like black, blue, beige, grey or pastels like light pink, ivory, light blue etc.
