Scrambled Eggs!!

So Ashlyn made me these delicious scrambled eggs on Saturday which consisted of Mexican cheese, red bell peppers, onion, salt and pepper. She really did amaze herself because she didn't think she was going to make such a delicious breakfast. I was so proud of her that I took a picture of her masterpiece. She dabbed a side of ketchup so I can add it for flavor, but honestly there was no need at all for ketchup because it was delicious on its own.

To think I’m not even an egg person and I absolutely enjoyed them this time around. This morning I had to show my co-workers because I was craving them again for breakfast. Who knows, my Ashlyn might be the next Julia Child, lol….

Amazing Domestic Seafood Recipe Cook Off

Ashlyn is a big seafood fan. Because of that I usually like to cook what’s called “Camarones al Ajillo”. It’s a very simple dish to make. By simply sautéing extra garlic cloves with olive oil, freshly squeezed lime juice. Of course seasoning with a bit of salt, fresh ground pepper and parsley is a must! It's a pretty excellent dish with rice, noodles, salad, veggies or just about anything you would like to compliment it with.

This recipe takes no less than 10 minutes which is helpful for mothers like me who want to make the kids something healthy and quick especially for those after school days.

I’m always up for new ideas of course and by all means if you have any suggestions and recipes, please do not hesitate to share them. I have to say, my dish is made almost everywhere in the Caribbean and it’s a very popular dish for the Latin population and it’s time everyone enjoys it too. This dish would definitely be a great contender at the Great American Seafood Cook off which is one of America’s most prestigious culinary competitions.

It’s very exciting to have a site where you can learn many new recipes from the best chefs out there. And remember all these recipes are made with fresh quality seafood.

Nail Salon Bacteria Infection

My mom caught a bad bacteria infection on her leg. We had to take her to the emergency room and after a diagnostic ultrasound the doctor diagnosed her with a severe bacteria infection. He asked us if she hit herself with something or if something bit or cut her in the last couple of days. It didn’t dawn on me until just only two days before she began all these crazy symptoms that I had taken her to the nail salon.

It really scares me how you can actually get infected in these places. Aren’t these places practicing routine disinfecting and sterilization? I seriously think they don’t because how the hell did this happen? She did nothing else but the pedicure and manicure so I’m 99% sure it was from this nail facility. I’m pretty disgusted in this whole ordeal. I spent 3 days and 2 nights at the hospital with my mom and the poor thing was in bad shape. The pain, swelling, burning pain was unbearable that not even pain killers were helping her.

What places can you trust these days? I really feel like calling the Attorney General’s office and letting them know about this matter. Even though I don’t have any proof that she indeed caught it from the nail place but what are the odds that she didn’t?

I mean we go to these places to improve our self image and feel better about ourselves and to stay healthy not to catch bacteria or other similar infections. God forbid if my mom had cached something worse like a disease or something. My God, I don’t know what I would have done!

Where have all the COWBOYS gone?

Can we discuss the men in our lives these days???? I swear back then I remember the men in the household working two or three jobs to make ends meet! Nowadays it’s the women who are making these damn sacrifices to survive in this expensive world we’re living in.

Every time I talk to other woman and or my coworkers it almost seems like we’re all in the same boat. These men aren’t doing what they’re supposed to be doing. In fact some of them are working part time jobs or who the heck knows. I know Fern does a lot for the home, but he could pick up the slack we’re struggling on and improve it.

When I say slack, the slack is basically all the bills from a couple of years that have been growing and growing from interests. The slack is the fact that I owe three months of rent! The slack is the fact that we can’t take a vacation because all the money goes on food and whatever else that needs to be purchased for daily living. I mean other wise we wouldn’t eat would we?

I’m very irritated and I feel as though I should pick up that second job and help make ends meet. Another part of me feels as though why should I? What happened to those men who used to work day and night to help raise their family?????????? Like the song said; "Where have all the cowbows gone?"

Loves Junk Food

My honey bunny went shopping yesterday and he bought all sorts of junk food for the house. There’s no questioning him when he shops or else he’ll never shop again. That’s his attitude all the time. I get all worked up because I really don’t want Twinkies and Ice Cream around the house all the time.

I’m very weak and yes I will admit to it. It’s very hard to know the treats are there and just go about without wanting them. It’s already bad enough that on Sunday I had three Ice Cream cones with Oreo Ice Cream. Oh my god it was to die for. I couldn’t stop on my first cone and neither could I do so on my second. The third just satisfied me completely.

I think I can go a whole month without craving Ice Cream unless he brings something yummy on his next trip to the supermarket. All I want to say to him is “KNOCK IT OFF”!!!

Anxiety in the WORKPLACE

It seems as though my coworkers and I are sharing the same anxiety symptoms these days. Some say it’s genetics, but sometimes I feel as though if someone’s having anxiety around me it some how rubs off. Is this even a possibility? Because I tell you right now, Rachel, Ali and I have been having anxiety for the past couple of days. We’re jumpy and uneasy and it just doesn’t feel right.

Could it be the same as they say with menstrual cycles happening around the same days as the woman you’re surrounded by? Are we sharing the same with these hormonal anxious episodes? I really have to find myself a good book where I can find information about this because there has to be something that can help us ease this feeling we’re experiencing. Not only that, we need to know how to surpass it when it occurs.

I tell you; being a woman is tough! I know we can all agree on that!

My Juicy Couture TOTE

I bought this Juicy Couture handbag and at first I thought it was too small since I’m used to big bags. It is indeed small, but it does hold up allot of junk which is basically what I carry on a daily basis, lol.

Everyone loves my little bag and I have to admit falling in love with it as well. It’s small and practical. You can use it casually; dressy and even sporty like to go to the pool or beach. I love my bag and I’m psyched I got it!
