84th New Thing - Made Shredded Chicken Burritos

I've made plenty of chicken tacos, burritos, and quesadillas in my past but I typically take a pound of boneless skinless chicken and cut it in 1" cubes when it is raw and then fry it for 10 minutes. However, this time I took a pound of boneless skinless chicken and boiled it for about 10 minutes. Then I poured out the boiling water and let the chicken cool for a bit. Then I ripped the chicken apart into tiny pieces and put in a fry pan with green pepper, onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, and fajita seasoning. I put this mixture on a flour tortilla and served with shredded colby jack, brown rice, black beans, salsa, and avocado. I like the chicken this way since it was smaller and juicier.

NOLA  - October 2018 PJ's Coffee  (5432 Magazine St, New Orleans LA 70115) - Goal was The King Cake Protein Velvet Ice but apparently that was only seasonal around Mardi Gras.

39th New Thing – Donated $1 to Books For Africa

I read an Oprah.com article, 16 Ways to Make an Incredible Impact With Less Than $15 , recently about 16 different organizations you can donate to for as low as a $1 donation or up to a $15. Since it is the holiday season of giving, I decided to donate $1 to Books For Africa . Supposedly $1 will provide 2 books shipped to a classroom in Africa. Access to an education is one of the only opportunities young people have to end the cycle of poverty and attain a better quality of life than previous generations. Books For Africa works to help children who otherwise would not attend school by supplying educational materials to reduce or eliminate education costs. In the wake of Wyclef's accusations (1/3 of $16 million raised went to the charity), I was a little leery of donating but if Oprah says it is a reliable organization, it must be!
