Espresso machine

I just ordered an espresso machine from walmart...i have been having the most large cow due to the fact that im budgeting for the month. i thought i should get a moka pot because its cheaper. But the espresso machine i found out today comes with four stainless steel spoons and four ceramic cups and saucers...what the f---! Cool. I paid 27$ but moka pot is bout $5. only reason i am stressing is cuz some other purchases i would make would fill that 20$ area. Oh well. Also...moddeals shoes...whoa...i had 22 pair in my cart for like 10$ a piece and was going to purchase them because i saved a bit of change in january...however i think maybe just 8 pair. i feel dumb but relatively cool. what if the shoe really wirks for me? Maybe i will go to 5/6...

saki flight!

I was lucky enough to have a flight of saki yesterday...perfect way to taper down a winter week at lunch. This flight had some mild sakis and some yeastier ones as well. these yeasty sakis are amazing...they have such a stronger mouth flavor...stronger that your even hoppier beers in the mouth. i love it...its like the most aromatic spice but is actually in the form of an alcoholic bev. I also had some pork ramen with kimchi, parsnip/almond puree soup, spinach mushroom bacon salad, tofu, french fries, and rice bowl with chicke. Yumo and wow...such great flavors.

latte

I always have sweetened condensed milk with my coffee and tea just because i dint think milk is rich/thick enough and doesn't have the flavor. i realy really love it but i just acquired a frother for milk and realized i could make simple syrup from sugar and just make lattes. this seems satisfying also. and furthermore perhaps cheaper considering the condensed sweet milk is 2.69 now up from sale at 2.00. I wil have to see if the milk froth is good with tea as well as coffee and i may need like at tall mug :).

Sage paint

This is like totally cool...i recently found an old wood bonco thing...quite low to the ground. i washed it with some sage soak water...i did not think it was scented but as i used the water to thin out the paint and paint on the paint i realized the sage soak water was scented so the wooden banco startedto smell sage. now i have started to iron on this wood as ironing board with wool blanket over to protect and it is totally steaming out an awesome sage smell...very very

red wine

So i had a glass of this wine terasses red yesterday. it was so good....chateau pesquie 2011 rhone valley. i got two bottles of nice wine for xmas and it is really quite fun. I am such a charles shaw lady it is kind of nice to be introduced to a different kind of wine experience. And i dont have so much information in my head about these types of nicer wines so it was really refreshing to get a peek like this. I also tried a wine called bucci...white wine 2013. The red is from ventoux winery. I have always been really into wine labels and the art of wine...it just hasn't been something i have invested a lot into of yet. but i see how nourishing a hobby a love it can be...so vast and stimulating and interesting.

carrying on

So they say keep calm and carry on is the motivator of the millenials. I really like that saying...especially for movers and shakers i think it adds so much positivity to the scene.

winter

I am totally loving winter even though it is snowing just a bit here and there. i am also looking forward to spring whuch should be divine. i purchased some cool seeds like hyacinth and magnolia to add to my other seeds. i hope my seed growing skills improve...i think i am losing a couple tomato plants this month. but i may be able to get some bright led's and dreaming of a sun room i could build for green house effect. Everything is good...my business is good and same with health and wealth and hope and esteem. really happy for 2015 and all it may bring. i have started to submit a fiction novella to publishers that i wrote and perhaps start writing another.

Burger and eggplant

Had a burger, roasted brussel sprouts with khombu, roasted eggplant, rose wine, a beer, and some dumplings. this was a great meal rounded off by a japanese ipa, green tea icecream ginger icecream and chocolate mousse icecream, cheese cake and chocolate mousse...all little bites. the burger was 6 oz. A decent size.

I know other people have this problem with old acquaintances who just cant get the message that you don't have friendly feelings toward them any more and keep trying to rekindle the relationship...its a very weird stalking like behavior. I just have to be positive...they say people will eventually get the message...it is so weird though i mean people just sometimes are so out to lunch...no means no. im sorry if you are so dense that one you can't take a hint or two just are aggressive. Oh well...usually these people will eventually leave me be it just takes a bit of patience...how weird.

Again carne adovada.

Ok ok so i know people get addicted to carne adovada...i havent even been that into meat in the past but i guess i just felt like it was not to be missed out on. i had another order of it and wow it is so good. This one had a mild picante in it...yum Had it with dos equis lager on tap. i usually hate it when places don't have ipa...i never know why...but tge lager was ok.

Chile

Latest meal: Carne adovada plate with tortillas and coffee to drink

Breakfast burrito

ok got to sample another breakfast burrito today.  chorizo with red and green chile...that was an awesome combo!!   This chorizo seemed to be more like ground beef wheteas the other one seemed more like thick cut bacon.  anyway i am not an expert but it is sure fun to assess what i notice.  it is quite a connoseurship...the enjoyment of chile.

danish bakeries

So yummo. i just got a whole day of chile fixes. I had 1/3 chorizo red chile breakfast burrito with eggs and cheese One bite bacon green chile breakfast burrito with eggs and chees Full plate combo carne adovada and blue corn burrito Breakfast pecan roll 1/2 Wow oh wow Red chile is primo Green chile is nice And pecan roll...i spent some time in denmark in highscoll but i never had any of their danish pastry wgich is just butter and dough layered and folded. i was just all health conscious so i avoided the bakeries they had on every corner, but this pecan roll which had that same pastry dough made me wish i had spent like all my time at the danish bakeries. Wow wow.

quilting

Im trying to start this quilting project for a little while...i have my pattern...ready many tutorials etc. i have made like5 quilts...bed size but much more disorganizedlythan this really. I will be able to use some assembly line method...i think...i am a hand sewer so i really hop and do think it could work. not too sure though!! i usually use a stencil or do applique for my blocks. the pattern i have chosen has some smaller pieces. i love quilting ...there are so many ways of doing everything. :)!! I will be making meter shawls not a full quilt which i usually do and they are hard to quilt.

just me my year

goodness oh my...i love mirror tile and mosaic. i got tan grout to use for them...super earthy and deserty. Trying to find a good quilt pattern because i am going to make some quilt shawls. And making myself some clothes out of some wool blends. Some of my plants are freezing because i turn my heat off at night but actually when i left the heat on all the time I thought that was killing them too.
