French Toast in a Mug [fail]

I have gotten into this frenzy lately about meals you can make in a mug. Single serve dishes you can whip up in a matter of minutes in your microwave. While most turn out great, sometimes they don't work out like they are suppose to.

Everyone post their pretty pictures of recipes that workout and look delicious and easy. But what about those recipes that just don't turn out right? Well I'm fixing to show you one ( I have had worst). 

I decided to make French toast in a mug. I did everything the recipe called for.

I cut up cubes and placed in a buttered remken (same as a mug). 

I poured in the egg and milk mixture and let the bread soak a minute.

I added a few blueberries for sweetness and stuck it in the microwave for a minute and a half.

It come out of the microwave looking wonderful. But then when I dumped it onto my plate , All I really saw was an egg with bread cubes in top. [fail]

Where did I go wrong? Maybe I should have used more bread?  Either way, I added a little sugar free syrup and ate it anyway. It was actually pretty good. I will give this recipe another shot adding more bread next time. 

Super Power

We all have some sort of super power. Something that's abnormal or unexplained. I'm not talking about fantasy or magic. We all have that one special something only you can do that sets you apart from ordinary.

I think I saw every Wonder Woman episode on TV in the late 70's. She was my favorite female Hero. I also loved the Incredible Hulk and Batman. I seen every episode of them all.

I often joke about my "super powers" even though none are in strength or speed. [bummer].

• I can stop a windup wristwatch. This is true. I used to put on a non-battery windup watch and sure enough, after a few hours it would stop telling time or even stop all together. 
• If i'm ever stung by a bee. You'd never know it except by my cry. My skin will not turn red or swell.
• Mosquitoes do not bite me. My skin (or blood) is a shield of those blood suckers. 
• No matter where I go, expect the lights to flash or dim. Ok, I know that's just a coincidence, or is it? I told my Husband that when I die, I call dibs on the flashing light spook.
• I can touch my tongue to the end of my nose and to the bottom of my chin. That is super isn't it? I bet your trying right now.
• My eye color can change depending on the temperature or what I wear. I used to be dark brown eyed until the birth of my green eyed daughter and now they are greenish hazel like my Mom and sometimes yellowish brown. Not sure what happened there. I just think it's cool how they change.
• I can make my eyes tear up like i'm crying. That's right. I can turn them on and turn them off. Didn't take long for my parents to realize that when I was young. So, it was not much to my advantage. Crying is real though.

But the real super power I have is that I'm a "Lucid Dreamer".

That's right. I know when I'm dreaming. I can become conscious inside my dreams. I can take control and either wake myself out of them or continue dreaming while exploring. Knowing i'm dreaming gives me the ability to go anywhere I want to go in my unconsciousness, unless something from the outside wakes me up.
I didn't even know what a Lucid Dream was until I was telling a friend of mine about this ability I have. Her eyes got big as she said in excitement, "you have lucid dreams?" Then she preceded to explain to me what's going on and how lucky I was to have this gift.

Cool huh? Its not all that unusual. Everyone has the ability to do this. Its something you learn in your mind set. Mine started when I was small. I always had bad dreams until one night I realized during a bad dream that "hey this is just a dream" then opened my eyes away from it. I was able to do that in almost every dream  that I didn't want to be in. After that, I was no longer afraid to dream, also meaning I didn't have to venture to my parents room and stare my daddy awake in the middle of the night so he'd cuddle me until I felt safe again.

There are a lot of books and even supplements that help people find they have Lucid Dreams but mine comes natural and that's something super to me.

So whats your special super power? I know you have one.
