When Z is away

I make single lady food...the easy staples I lived off of in college. On this particular day when Z was away I resorted to ramen. But this is not college ramen...

I added chopped veggies (tomatoes & bell peppers) as well as paneer (Curry Land's version of cottage cheese).

 I boiled it all together, strained the excess water, mixed in the paneer and then went easy on the seasoning provided in the ramen packet. viola...10 minute lunch.
 

Lovin Pinterest Fails

Thank you ladies and gentlemen who get pinterest ideas, try to implement them, and then document the unsuccessful results. You are the shining reminder why I should not try all the crafty things I see on pinterest. I'm an optimist so without your early example I would probably be elbow deep in modge podge sobbing uncontrollably. Pinterest dreamers everywhere need you to bring them back to the sober reality that we are better at social media than creating handmade projects like the pinterest doers.

Anny: woman of many talents

Our maid Anny can thread - FYI, threading is a fast and effective way to pluck and shape eyebrows or get rid of unwanted facial hair. Men and women get their faces threaded here in Curry Land. Initially I was not a fan of threading...a long time ago a beautician here took way too much off my eyebrows...I was left with skinny little pencil brows. Now I only let Anny touch my eyebrows...if she ever leaves I shudder to think of the eyebrow trauma that will insue.

Little Miss Prissy Pants

I hold A entirely responsible for putting the Miss in the Priss...she is Abi's main wardrobe contributor. She loves dress up...skirts, scarves, and bows keep her occupied as she prances around exclaiming 'Oh, wow!' everytime she is pleased with her own appearance and ensamble.

Brace Yourself...

for BRACES!
Orthodontics is inexpensive and safe here so Z and I decided to hold onto our youth and look like teenagers again - haha...actually we both have bite issues that were causing all sort of problems.
I asked our orthodontist if our braces will get stuck when we kiss...I was informed that was a myth -Darn!
