http://www.CARestaurantShowCase.com I write feature stories and do food photography for restaurants. I write the story that tells only the good things about it, and you buy my story and all the photos I shoot with my 24 MP Nikon DSLR camera. I made The Orange County Register last year in April 2012 when the story and photos I did for the CEO's of the Tomy's Burgers chain hired me to write a story and photos for them. It is still on Food Frenzy in the Entertainment section.

Reblogged from Renard Moreau Presents: I could remember a time when I didn't have a cell phone or a computer; those were my childhood days — a period in life when things were much simpler. Back then, when my mother wanted to leave a reminder for me in my absence, she would place a note […]

Reblogged from Source of Inspiration: I put a laugh in a box, mailed it to a friend. She opened the box, had a good laugh, copied it to two friends who did the same. Soon the laugh went viral and spread across the globe. Wonder if it works the same for kindness, peace, and love? […]

Write and Share What You Are Thankful For in Words and Pictures
What I am Thankful For
Photography & Text By Paulette Le Pore Motzko
Thanksgiving Post
Blog Posting on November 18th, 2012
I got the idea for a Thanksgiving post two years ago which I got the name by reading a story in Time Magazine called “A Year in Review in Words and Pictures.” I cannot remember who wrote it but I loved the concept of it. If you pick the right picture it can tell a story in itself. I am a very visual person and I am turning into a “Photo-Journalist”, now that I know what one is.
I am asking you my readers to write a list of the things you are thankful for, the people in your life, the simple pleasures, even things we all take for granted like breathing, opening your eyes!
I hope that this will encourage more to write in and in doing so this will become a “patchwork quilt” embroidered with the stories and vignettes of simple pleasures that the members of this site are THANKFUL FOR. Also, I hope you all take the time to find photos of those you hold dear, the special times you are thankful for and include as many as you would like of those as well.
**********
If you have questions about how to upload photos, videos or any kind of post on the site, feel free to ask me! There is no question that is silly. I know that firsthand from being a teacher for 20 years.
**********
I think that so far people have thought that I meant the “things” as in monetary things, but the “things” I am talking about here are the things you cannot buy in stores, as those are the most valuable.
I think this would be a great family exercise any time of year, not just for Thanksgiving. You probably will learn a few things about the people who are close to you by doing it too.
So here are the things Paulette Motzko is thankful for on 2:24 p.m. November 18th, 2012. It is not necessary to say “I’m thankful for after” each thing you mention. Just one header is fine followed by a colon or a dash or a ...
I am thankful for...
My new found health
Losing nearly 80 pounds and feeling better and looking better than I have looked in 20 years.
Looking more like I did when I was in my 20’s
Having clear goals about my life and my “present” that I open daily that will lead me to my future
Doing something I love after doing a lot of research on how to merge the things I do well that I love and seeing my cooking site "Cooking Up a Storm All Over The World!" grow all the time in members and become greater than I ever imagined.
Seeing my business begin to really flourish
Having wonderful people in my life like my sweet mother and my older brother Bob who thinks before he speaks and is kind and loving, and the many friends I know who have become family. I am also thankful for Lucky our dog when he doesn’t bark!
That I am the kind of person who sees the best in a person and always urges someone to meet their full potential.
Life
I am thankful for the pills I take, primarily Vimpat, which is the best drug for epilepsy that has been released in my life time. It enables me to think clearly, do what I do, feel great every day and live the best life I can. I know the best is yet to come for me.
I am thankful for having medical insurance to finally pay for my very expensive medicine. I don’t have to sell things each month! Took me 7 years to get it!
I am thankful that mom taught me phonetics when I was a 4 and that my parents encouraged learning and always stopped what they were doing to answer questions. I am thankful that my parents encouraged the arts and always made me feel special.
I am happy that they let me “Play by Ear” until I was 18, when I went to college and learned the names of everything I already knew. I found out I was what they call “a natural.”
I am thankful for optimism that I inherited from my mother and the warm gentle spirit she also gave me.
I am thankful people tell me I have “a really good karma”.
NOW YOU WRITE WHAT YOU ARE THANKFUL FOR AND ADD SOME PHOTOS THAT YOU THINK ARE HEART WARMING THAT SHOW YOUR GRATITUDE.
HAVE A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, NO MATTER IF YOU VOLUNTEER IN A SOUP KITCHEN OR IF YOU ARE HAVING IT WITH FAMILY AT A LARGE TABLE. BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU HAVE.

Life in general is about giving and not receiving, it is about kindness over anger, love over hate.
If you treated people in that way all year long, we would have a pretty darn good world! Pretend every day is Christmas and think of good will more than yourself, and see what happens!

NOBODY EVER SAID GOOD FOOD AND GOOD COOKING HAD TO BE HARD TO BE GOOD, DID THEY?
SOMETIMES THE MOST SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE ARE REALLY THE BEST.
If you are a big fan of Food Wishes with Chef John as I am, you can see all of his great, funny, informative and insightful cooking videos at his YouTube page here:
http://www.youtube.com/user/foodwishes?feature=watch
Just thought I would share. Wait until you see some of these. Chef John always makes me smile, laugh, because he laughs at himself. I love the very informal way he does each video. He does what I hope to do, make good cooking accessible to everybody, no matter who you are or how old you are.

Some of my "Good For You Stew" I had two years ago when Ron B. came to town from Boston, MA. I made the roux with fat free condensed soup and it cut the fat way out of the recipe. It was fantastic because I browned the meat first in flour and seasonings and it carmelized gave the broth a really rich flavor.
Dessert that night was Baked Custard gently cooked in a Bain Marie cooled and topped with fresh strawberries. A nice light ending to a really wonderful meal with great company.
Pozole with Roasted Chicken, Red Potatoes, Green Beans & Roasted Red Pepper
Created by Paulette Motzko
Copyright November 2011
Four 32 oz. boxes Kendale Farm Chicken Broth with No MSG
Fresh Green Beans, Frozen Green Beans or Canned-2 cups or more
Up to 2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 cabbage-halved and then sliced in quarters
2 teaspoons of Savory Spice Shop Mexican Adobo Seasoning
2 Roma tomatoes coarsely chopped
One 3 pound chicken roasted with extra virgin olive oil or canola oil brushed on the skin with a silicone basting brush. Then sprinkle with Team Sweet Mama’s BBQ Seasoning from Savory Spice Shop.
2 to 3 cups of hominy that has been drained from the can-Teasdale make a great one.
4 cups water
½ teaspoon of Better Than Store Bought Chicken Base
This couldn’t be easier and it is a great thing to make when you are at home doing laundry or doing office work at your desk as I do.
Put all ingredients in a large stock pot-VERY LARGE one-or Caldero, that you can find in many Latin American markets for hardly a small dent in your pocket book.
A HELPFUL NOTE:
Check out Latin American markets in your area or at least a well-stocked market like Jon’s Marketplace, if you are lucky enough to live by one, or another family owned market. I guarantee you will get lower prices, better quality and no gimmicks like silly cards that you punch to get a low price! I want to tell the big major grocery stores that do that, that those cards cost money and with all that you guys spend on them you could have offered low prices without the card!
Vary this recipe and let it be a “Springboard For Your Imagination©”
IN a large pot add one whole cabbage and cover with chicken broth. Add your choice of vegetables from onion, peppers, cooked potatoes and then add other seasonings to your liking of garlic, cumin, and even a cup of mild salsa would be awesome in this!

Have a delicious day or night…better yet just have a great DAY!
