Reconnect

Today was my lazy day, I have just been in front of the computer mostly on facebook, it has been 24 hours since I reconnected with a friend (classmate 2nd grade) which I lost contact for 20 years. We have been chatting and catching up for hours. She found me on facebook and then sent me a picture that sparked the private investigator in me. Lucky thing was she did manage to put names on the students when she got that picture, which helped me to search for one particular friend that I have been thinking off but did not remember the last name. After finding a similar name, I sent her a message and it was her. I am truly happy she is American and she used to live in Bonaire but not for long. So when she left the Caribbean I was really sad and named my doll after her. I wanted to named my daughter Michelle but me and the hubby did not agree on the name.
Well I have found her and she does not live far what a small world.
One other thing that made me cry like a baby was the performance of Susan Boyle on Britain's Got Talent 2009, for me it was a wake up call it had me standing still and thinking of the times I have had judged people because of what they had on or how they looked. I so appreciate the saying "never judge a book by its cover" .

Have a great afternoon, I looking for a recipe with shrimps need to start dinner soon.

What we had for dinner

Many people does not know this but me and my husband we love cooking delicious meal for our family and also trying new stuff. He can stand in the kitchen for 6 hours and cook an entire indonesian rijstafel. For dinner, I had my chicken already marinated overnight and the only thing I had to do was just to pour some breadcrumbs in the ziplock bag containing the chicken. I saute it in olive oil. Made a sauce which had marmelade, mustard and ketchup and some other secret ingredients. I lay it on cheesy mashed potatoes made from scratch and peppered carrots. Made some Caribbean Punch and side salad was greens with pine nuts, apples, cranberries, onions and a champagne blush dressing. For dessert there is nothing more healthier than fruits.

Grijs en Groen.

Grijs en Groen that's dutch for Gray and Green. I am wearing my favorite pants today, I had little time to put something together please excuse me , I am wearing a jacket over a black top cause it is in the 60's here and a bit windy too. Other than going to the gym with my friend this morning, we had some green tea at Starbucks and then I cleaned my daughters room , throwing away lots of school papers, and putting clothes away to sell either at a consignment store or at our annual neighborhood garage sale. Have a great day, I am so looking forward to American Idol tonight, will be trying out a new recipe out for a spicy buffalo chicken dip.
