Priscilla the "Chef"


I decided to try cooking something i've never tried cooking before. After looking for a good recipe I finally found one. I decided to make pan fried noodles with cabbage and chicken. I've tried it on several occasion's and soon thought it's easy enough to make why continue to spend money on it? Usually Ben likes to go to the bakery and get it for breakfast along with char siu bao. After checking out the ingredient's I went to a supermarket not far from our house and bought noodle's and cabbage. I already had most of the ingredient's from making other food's. In my mind I thought it was going to be really easy. It is, but it requires patience.



Everything had to be cooked separately so I had to clean out my wok over and over :/
Even though I had to constantly clean out my wok it was worth it in the end because it turned out to be really good.



It started out from this and ended up like this (^^)v
I thought it wasn't going to have much taste to it considering the recipe said to mix some sesame oil into the cooked noodle's. Everything else was pretty much seasoned with soy sauce.
Yes, that is Goya garlic. I am spanish after all so I had to use something from that part of me. I may be married to an asian but i'm still proud of who I am. Oh, and I don't always cook asian stuff, I also cook italian and spanish. I was brought up in a spanish and italian family so that was inevitable.

So on another note anyone notice how warm the weather is getting? Aah, it's that time again for short's and sweat. I pretty much don't mind hot weather as long as i'm somewhere with air conditioning lol. I'm not a hot weather person. I get intense migrane's when i'm in a very hot place for too long which is why I don't frequent the beach that often. I don't even know why I developed this problem. When I was younger I used to go to the beach all the time. Going to Puerto Rico all the time there is no way you can visit there and not go to the beach. Anyway, I don't dwell on it since i'm used to it. This thought just always pop's up whenever summer is near.

I've taken break's on alot of game's. I used to play game's all the time but recently i've just been losing interest. Is it because i'm getting older? Do we lose the interest we had when we were younger and all we wanted was to spend time in front of our t.v with a game controller in our hand's? I still enjoy them I just don't get as excited about them anymore. I haven't even finished final fantasy xii and i'm supposed to be a big ff fan? Hmm. I guess thing's do change once you "grow up".

The other day I went to an asian supermarket with my husband and the cashier told him that my daughter look's like me especially the eye's. Now I love it when someone tell's me that my daughter resemble's me (you know considering the fact that she look's asian?) but I just don't understand what she said. Um her eyes...they are well they are "chinese" looking. Mine are these big round ball looking thing's. To me she look's like my husband and to my husband she look's like me. I know I know STOP OBSESSING. I will....eventually.

My daughter recently discovered how to grind her teeth. Ever since she got her two front teeth all she does is "grind...grind...grind" It's so annoying! My husband grind's his teeth when he sleep's so now I have to deal with her grinding in the day and him at night. My first concern when I noticed it was is she going to have the same problem and my husband? He has a weird habit of grinding his teeth in his sleep. I read it's not good to grind your teeth considering your in a way filing your teeth down. So doing the usual baby research I do when she reaches every new month I was relieved to read that it is normal for babies to do that.

Sometimes I feel like I know exactly where i'm headed. What I want to do. But as the month's go buy and I watch my daughter get older I start to feel worried. I start to think about when she start's school and paying for her toy's, clothes, school, her activities. I know that I have help and that I am not alone. But I can't help worrying if I am going to be the mother I want to be. I just want to raise my daughter to be loving and caring. Lately she has been acting very spoiled. I try my best not to spoil her with anything. I might be wrong. I think it's just her being a child and not being able to vocalize what she wants. It's funny because growing up my parent's didn't spoil us, unless we deserved it (birthday's, graduation etc...). My father used to always say "when you grow up don't spoil your kid's...because we didn't do that with you." Now that I have a child my father is so in love with her. When he goes out with my mom and if by chance they go shopping he picks out some clothes for her just like my mom does. I've never seen this side of my father and i'm really happy that my daughter is able to have two very loving grandparent's. I know that they will be stern when it is appropriate and easy-going when necessary.



She just keeps getting bigger and bigger ;]




So today I decided to try and clean up the mess we call a apartment. I still can not believe how messy our house get's. Every time it get's cleaned it end's up messy all over again. We have two bedroom's but with so much stuff it just doesn't help. I'm not complaining about living where I do right now just pointing out that between my husband's stuff and mine...well it's cramped. Fortunately I got to clean our room. It's not perfectly clean but it's as clean as it can be with a baby around the house. I'm just happy to have my room back and not a floor filled with toy's and paper's.

This mess is finally gone....but I have a feeling it will be back :/

So i've currently been playing Silkroad. I found it by accident really. I was doing some serches for a FF quest when I came upon a site mentioning Silkroad. At first I saw the picture and thought "this look's boring". I downloaded it anyway. To my surprise it's actually fun. I spent my weekend exploring on here and levling. I plan on playing it for awhile since it's free. I also found another game called Rappelz not too sure how that's going to be but I plan on trying it out.

I'm feeling angry very angry right now. 11 hour's at home alone. I just can't take it anymore. I mean I haven't had a decent rest in like 4 day's. I'm not in the mood to hear anything. Stop saying you are going to do something when you don't plan on doing anything. Every single time I remind you of what you should be doing you say "okay i'll start doing it". It's all bullshit. You've been saying that for a year and a half already. There is no excuse for what you are doing. Being a lazy ass person is not going to get you anywhere but alone and unhappy. I won't stick around waiting year after year for you to change. I have already done that for almost 3 year's. I'm tired of it. As I see it you are definitely not planning to change any time soon. If you don't want to change then i'm going to have to make a change of my own.Once I do that don't come crying to me that you are sorry and that everything will be different like you always do. I'm done with that bullshit. I need to move on because being stuck in the same place isn't doing anyone any good.

My goal lose 20-25lbs by end of summer.

I've been listening to the song I like it by Narcotic Thrust and it's reminding me that I need to exercise more. I started exercising again but not every single day. Being so busy with my daughter i'm exhausted by the end of the day and just want to sleep when I get the chance. For the past 3 day's I was unable to exercise because I was Upstate watching my little brother while my parent's went away for a couple of day's for a work related event. I told myself I wasn't going to snack on anything but going to my parent's house I didn't listen to myself. My mom always buys stuff I like to eat whenever I come over so I failed to stick to my plan. Now being back home I am back to my regular routine. I thought the few day's I would be at my parent's house would be a breeze but it turned out to be more hectic than I thought it would. My brother got sick the day before my parent's left. He wound up being sick the whole time I was there. The day before I was supposed to leave my daughter caught what my brother had and I wound up being so stressed out by taking care of two sick children. this was a real test for me. I think I did pretty well considering today when I left both my brother and daughter had no fever. I think God was testing me and I hope I passed whatever test he had for me. I know I lost a little of my patience but I eventually got it back.
