the "can i pass out now?" pita sandwich

this will be my first ever recipe blog entry! yay!

anyway, i wanted a late supper/early bedtime snack, and i thought i would use up the remnant of a pack of frozen veggies in the freezer.


i had about, say a cup and a half or so left. i put a tablespoon or two of sunflower oil in a small pan and when the oil was hot dumped the frozen veggies in, stirred them up. added the following herbs and spices to taste:

  • curry
  • basil
  • oregano
  • pepper
  • onion powder (fine flakes, really)
  • garlic powder ("granules")

then i thought, i want to add some protein to this mix, so i added a small handful of macadamia nuts.

this is how many was left in the package *after* cooking, so i really didn't use too much. rich stuff, them nuts, lol. sautee, sautee.

next i added some of my favorite addition to just about everything i cook, sunflower seeds!


(what i forgot to add, and wished i had: sesame seeds. next time!)


sautee, sautee.

then i added a can of smoked tuna fillets, including the oil (was starting to look dry):



my favorite food. i broke it up and sauteed some more.

it smelled like, SOOOO GOOOD.

next i cut a whole wheat pita in half.


then when the mix was all hot and spicy and browned and yum, i spooned it in, and i started to eat.

and i seriously said, "oh, God, thank You, oh God, this is soooo good, can i pass out now?" lol!!!!

after half was gone i thought i'd better take some pics for posterity:




my most successful concoction. served with a glass of whole milk.


an alternate name for this concoction might be "the maca-tuna stirfry pita". but i like 'the "can i pass out now?" pita sandwich', lol.

by the time i was done, i was stuffed to the gills. i think it was enough for two people for lunch.

if anyone tries this, i'd love to hear how it turned out for you!!!!!!

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
