My Quest to make Risotto

So today was the day.. I had a particularly stressful morning.. and nothing beats it then cooking something good and tasty.. that had been haunting your dreams the past couple nights, since a dear friend (LUCA) decided to tease you about it, since I hadnt been able to eat at the time since I was fasting (not nice deary, you shall have to make it up some day with a bowl of your own cooking)

Well... that's easy enough.. had all the ingredients.. I had done a mental run of the kitchen and fridges (yep I know it all that well)

Sooo.. keeping this meal simple.. started a little late.. sooo nothin fancy.. Righhhhttt.. I have learnt never to trust myself... because once again my "simple meal" turned out to be a 4 hr extravaganza... mainly cause I was enjoying myself and taking my leisurely slow unhurried time...

Oh I shall have to tell you.. I taped my mouth.. yes it might sound extreme... butt.. I am determined to stop snacking while I cook.. (I heard if you don't pick on the food after u'll be hungrier.. so I wanted to see if that's true... unfortunately.. my hand doesn't seem to want to stop wanderin to my mouth.. so tape it is.... and it works.. the hand is to lazy to remove the tape.. genius I sayy!!!) So Im armed and ready to cook, with wild and mad frantic hand jesters to people, who laugh at my feeble attempts at sign language and guess more wrong than right, and crazy untangible mumblings, whom so far has entertained kaden the most.. who laughs and makes fun of everything I do, wanting to touch the tape and trys jabbing his finger into my mouth to see how much I can squeal... (probablly enjoying the fact that he can now ignore when I mumble for him to obey me or to stop) tho he has started responding more well to my hand signs.. like please (clap, clap) PTL (he raises his hands when he's choking) oh well.. at least I'm amusing while useful.

Started risottto.. but alas I coudn't find the risotto.. wondering who in the small amounts of time I'm not occupying the kitchen could have stolen it... that means I'll be having to make barley.. darats..... aha.. I wept happy tears.. I found it.. (I tell you.. I have my mind set on it and will be horrible disappointed if something deters me)

then decided on lentils.. what can I say.. I was craving that as well... then salad.. mushrooms, greenbeans, and asparagus... make a fruit salad and wallaa!!

Yep.. I don't think this exact mix goes. but hey.. so far it's smelling good.. everyone coming in is amused and enjoying the smells.. hopefully I didn't dump to much salt in the risotto or to much curry in the lentils...

In the end after taking of the tape I begin snacking almost immediately.. geessss must do something about thiss... well I make a plate sit down.. look at the food.. and already I lost my appetite.... I only picked on 3 asparagus... THREEE ONLYY!! soo alas fellow readers.. not picking doesn't help.. though it does make u not feel as fat after... though just cooking makes u feel rounder.. I have no idea why.. anyhow.. so much for making myself a plate.. I pick more than I ended up eating.... oh well the food was good none the less.. and besides the need for a little saltt it was good...

A picture of the ending results... the cook is happy :D

(yes I'm bored with time on my hands right now hahha...)

pictures and blabbers...

Been going through a bit... something the Lord is having to really ground into me is how to be praiseful and happy no matter the situation. It's definately tough.... another is how to have a more positive outlook on life.. I tend to look and dwell on the negative side of things and I have a hard time letting go of the past... so for those that I have done that to... I am sorry and am trying to work on it... also having a more cheery and uplifting countenance.. seems to be quite hard for me.. and confusing for people. I normally am not a big ball full of grins and laughs... even when I am happy.. I tend to wear a more normal face.. hence people thinking I'm not okay and not having fun.. it's how I am.. buttt I guess it's to confusing for people hehe :D Oh well.. I shall post some pics.. of plants.. and animals... luv you all and tons of smackerals for the lot of you ;)
I love these two pics (squirrel and sparrow).. they look super cute
It was flying off

Splishing and Splashing

A couple more ones that were taken... mainly of Kaden

the little man

I know.. I've been very dilinquent in post pics.. actually I haven't taken any recently.. no time I suppose.. but I shall.. in other news of this little man... he's now walking around.. one hand balanced in front of him most of the time in case he falls.. but he's doin a great job.. shall try to get a video clip of it.. it's cute... and this kid loves playing peekaboo... will duck under the table then spring forth in a thrusting kind of manner.. quite a bizzare little boy.. but for the most part he's super happy... most part...
Mom and Anj will this coming week be going to Cali for the PEP.. so oh joy I get the buffallo.. praying hard already!! Oh yes he is weaned

XD updates

all's well and I'm still alive.. though one did drag on... (mental note: in the future do the PO assignments first) Lordy I'm tired... that one lasted me a week practically... with me getting frustrated, distraught and worn out... No I'm not complaining.. Just afraid I got dropped to many times as a child.. and it killed a great load of brain cells that should have been used to do things like this.... but PTL I finally succeeded... after reading it over 5 times I think I succeeded in memorizin that reading.. but... whoohoo!! JOY!!! I am extremely happy and tomorrow I shall be going on to Level 3.. yep I think I'm behind.. but oh well... Life's good.. and I have a headache... oshhhhh!! Night dolls

I miss all my hunnies!!

I might seriously do some damage to the car or something.. someone) all piling into the van and going to watch a movie in the theater.. all going to walmart and hanging out.. cause we were bored.. ricky and mike's jokes and jesting... hanging out with Shelly and Aaron.. talking about the weirdest of things.. (ahem that was quite often and mainly them) going to Idaho... stayin at a friends place, having to sleep with shelly (I did enjoy it shelly... but u were to... skinny and not.. manly enough hehe) ;), listening to the cyotees or wolves whichever there were.. and watching scary horror movies where Keanu Reeves plays a bad guy.. and us sneaking into the room to get more movie.. staying up all night.. and falling asleep at sundawn only to be woken up....being foolish...
Going out to the galleria, drinking mountain dew and frappachinos and lauhing like crazy and entertaining everyone.. running around the whole place having sword fights... making weird face paintings on oursleves and each other, Tan being foolish and aaron making him into a fairy,
Hanging out with Ricky, Rosie and Lily, going to Mex with my luvi, and being with him... there.. and in Pensecola... missing him like crazyyy!!!
I miss hanging out with my chia, and just being foolish and carazy and driving around for the better part of the day, eating sushi, trying to find cinnabons (I'm so craving those these days hunny hehe) and just having fun me, u and sam.. such a great time..

K what do u all think???

Imagine.... dear sweet innocent Nemo (aka: clown fish for those that don't know). It's said when the donimate female fishy dies, the male clown fish will then change into a female and mate with the next male that comes around.. ehhuhh!!! Yes it is bizzare!
Well.. I was havin a debate with someone about this and they were sayin the fish is gay. Okay I had to just point out that this dear fishy thingy.. can't really help it.. It's made that way. It's not like he opts, like men and woman can, to go get surgery and change his sex... so this person saw my point.. (DUHH) he now said it was a curse of what happened when man ate the forbidden fruit.
I personally wouldn't know as I wasn't there to view how or what was cursed and changed, but I think that that's the way God origionally intended for the Clown fish. This topic had led to two big debates.. which ended up ranging from A - Z... with no solid anything to show forth.. so if anyone has any theories... pls share
