Sold da G-ride and ended up at da bar...

Thank you God! I was praying and hoping that I would be able to sell my car in order to get a good down payment for a new car. And I did it! I hope to buy a little SUV soon.
Since it's an older car, some people I know referred to it as da G-ride. Was a good car to me, but time for a change :-)
Adios!

To celebrate the sale we went to the bar...The Chocolate Bar!
 


There's cakes, brownies, cookies...


cupcakes, candy, hot chocolate and just about anything chocolate you can think of!


For the record, I only had bites of both :-) Eri took care of the rest.



Ha, I sold my car wearing my red house slippers. Can't wait to go look for a new ride. If you haven't been to The Chocolate Bar, you should check it out!

Super Bowl XLV - Green Bay Packers won!

Ben, Lucila and Miss Bianca Reyes came over to watch the Super Bowl game with us. We talked, laughed, ate tons of "man food" and we were entertained by the dancing queen, Miss Bianca Reyes.  We had potato wedges, super bowl meatballs, bacon-wrapped hot dogs, hot guacamole, queso, salsa and BOUGHT red velvet mini brownies. We were very hungry so I forgot to take pics of the food :-( saw-wee.
The talented and beautiful Miss Bianca Reyes

Half time show & Bianca - we were entertained

"Boom boom pow"

It was so cute to see Bianca watch Fergie on tv and imitate her moves.

This picture has a story. My Christmas present from Santa a.k.a. Eri was a new camera. I was excited to use it for the first time tonight. Well Bianca asked me if she could take us a picture. I have to admit...I was very nervous about letting her even hold it. BUT I still wanted to keep my "cool" title. So I let her. Lucila was very nervous too! This is why we both look so nervous in this pic! Bianca took the pic and gave the camera back and we both looked at each other with a sigh of relief. WHEW!

Hola!

Santana anyone? Yep, there she goes again. Dancing...

dancing...

She's got the coolest moves!

Keep at it Miss Bianca Reyes! You're gonna dance your way to the top. Oh and she sings too! That'll be next time they come over and Eri gets a mic.

Vegetable Soup!

Eric and I just completed the Daniel Fast on January 31st. Check out the site to read about it: www.daniel-fast.com
As a result, I've learned how to cook using different veggies.
I've always enjoyed trying different kinds of fruits, veggies and beans. When I met Eric, I was surprised that he didn't like mangos, hadn't eaten an avocado without it being part of guacamole, and didn't eat many veggies. Now, avocado is part of our lunch or dinner, he loves my veggie soup BUT still won't eat mangos. I'm still working on that.
The veggie soup my mom taught me how to make includes: turnips, celeries, carrots, garlic, onion, squash, zucchini, potato, yucca root, corn and green beans. We only used about 1/2 cup of vegetable vegetarian broth. Mainly water and a bit of salt.
