Learning to Love

It took me a long time to fully embrace the melting pot in which I live. I still find myself craving meat and potatoes weekly, however I also find myself wanting rice almost on a daily basis, so to say the least my tastes have changed over the past couple years.
I never thought in a million years I'd make the leap of like to love over Indian food. Even though I don't want to order everything on the menu, I have a few favorites that I start to hunger for and need to satiate as soon as possible.
Korma Chicken, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Basmati rice and Veggie Samosas speak to my soul the way Steak, Au gratin Potatoes and broccoli used to.
I have opened my heart to LOVE Indian food!
Over 6 months ago our favorite Indian food restaurant closed their doors as Eric and I were often the only people there when we ate. We started to get the feeling that we perhaps were their only customers, and while we would eat there often, we didn't eat there nearly long enough to keep their doors open.
So tonight we couldn't take the lack of Indian food anymore... we had to take a stand, and find an Indian restaurant we liked. So we thought the only way to finding our new one would be to start trying them.
The Best of India was our first stop, but it looked like a food dive you might find in a food court at a mall, and we weren't willing to go for non homemade food... we didn't want samosas straight out of the fridge, we wanted hand made samosas!
We drove down the road to find ...
We were reluctant to eat here too, but were pleasantly surprised!
The food is a little on the spendy side, but since we haven't indulged in the past couple months ... we went for it!
The music was wonderful, the place was ... nearly empty ... and the decoration was that of Ballywood! I think we'll be back
For now our tummys and hearts are full of Indian deliciousness!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

Thoughts of the American Pride Persuasion

I sat, mesmerized as I watched the “Breaking News” of the past 24 hours – Osama Bin Laden, Dead. What? I can’t really deny my mixed feelings about posting today. I don’t normally jump into the political rings but I can’t deny the HUGE news that swept our nation yesterday. So, this post has been thought out, a lot, typed really slowly, every word, intentional. Which is a huge leap from my normal ramblings of a Monday morning. We were sitting on the couch watching a movie, the movie ended and Eric turned on the news, and we watched, in awe. Just like September 11 th , I’ll always remember where I was when I heard the news. I can’t say I was ready to strap on a flag superhero cape style, and run up and down the street chanting “USA… USA… USA” like hundreds and thousands of other Americans in DC and New York, but then again, I wasn’t near ground zero, in Pennsylvania or at the pentagon the day that Osama Bin Laden became a household name. The American in me wants to be happy and
