Quesadilla à la Yireh

Last year in September I got to live for a month with a friend of mine Yireh, who shortly after that moved to England, and only God knows when she will be back (literally). Yireh is originally from Puerto Rico and she can cook some amazing stuff. I haven't learned from her anything special, but one simple thing. Quesadilla.
Here I will share with you how to make a really, really good quesadilla.
So what do we need:
1 or more hungry person
corn or wheat tortilla (size and amount depends on how hungry the person is)
shredded cheese (feel free to buy a block and shred it yourself)
garlic powder (or real garlic, chopped or mashed)
ham, mushrooms (optional)
olive oil

How do we make it:
really simple.
Put one tortilla on a plate, sprinkle on it as much cheese as you like, add garlic (if you're using mashed garlic, you can mix it with cheese beforehand) add ham or sauted mushrooms. Than put another tortilla on the top. If you're not very hungry or have a big tortilla, just fold it in the middle, so you get closed half circle. 
WARNING!!!
Do not stick it in the microwave!!!!!!!!!
Take out a pan in the size that will fit your quesadilla and put on some olive oil. When oil is hot put on your quesadilla and fry from one side, than flip and fry from the other side. It doesn't take long. Less than a minute for each side. Don't burn it, just a little brown spots should appear.
And than feel free to eat. You can add some sour cream to it, or guacamole or salsa, but it's good as it is :)
Next time when I make it, I'll try to take a picture before I eat it. Maybe.

Crush

When is the last time you had a crush on someone?
Not on a actor, athlete or musician you never met in your life, but on a living person, who you actually talked to and with which you spent some time. I don't know about you, but I think it's an awesome feeling.
Doesn't matter if you just met the person recently, or you know them for a while and something had suddenly changed.
Crush is not yet being in love. It's more a special kind of high, when you are hoping to run into him (her) anytime. Or waiting for a phone to ring, even if he doesn't have your phone number, waiting for friend request on Facebook... you know the symptoms, you've been there. You can't stop thinking about them, but it doesn't prevent you from eating, sleeping and enjoying life. It's not yet being in love. If your crush is not returning your feelings, it's not the end of the world. Your emotions will calm down soon, especially if you don't get in touch soon.
Maybe you're asking how do I know all this? Yes, I do have a crush on someone. Who? I'm not telling. Maybe if it will progress into something more, but than it won't be a crush anymore :)
