Pani Puri and More Indian Heaven..

We ate at an Indian place and the food was amazing!!! I can't remember all the Indian names..fried lentil balls, Pani Puri, potato cutlets in yogurt/chutney sauce, butter chicken, garlic naan bread (sooo delicious!!), and the best dessert ever..fried cottage cheese balls in sweet syrup! I have a bad stomach when it comes to spicy stuff but I never have a problem when it comes to Indian foods..very weird but i'm happy coz I do love spicey stuff a lot!

I Am Me..



"I am me, natural, free. I grow like all wild things, the flowers, the trees. I dip in the rain, stretch in the sun. My wings resplendent, my spirit strong." (pinterest)

Turtle Pond

It's so hard to get great summer weather, so when it comes along, its time to explore in nature!! Made friends with a sweet turtle..she or he let me pet its head and I helped it crawl under the fencing so that the turtle would be safer there..this tribal hut is my new home! Discovered a giant sized sumac plant or whatever it was? Lots of irises blooming everywhere and I wish I could have a perfume with their scent! Doing kundalini on the bridge..cute frog in the swamp area..these amazing lilypads are almost as big as the ones in the Amazon rainforest! And I made Flash in the Pan mint chicken with honey and I did serve it with couscous. Yum!

DIY Project + Hula Hooping Fun!

It's been okay weather..went hulahooping at a friend's place..i still can't hulahoop..I think you need a long waistline to do it properly!! My body is all wrong for it.:( Then I did a DIY project with a wooden storage box that I got thrifting a while ago..i waited for the right summer weather to do it outside..i think it turned out way groovy! I used Artist Loft acrylic paints (these are the best to use on wood), and then I sparkled it all over..including the sides, and in the back I drew mandala design with black marker, the actual box drawers (3 in total), was very difficult to paint..i had to go over at least 5 times with different colours until it worked! The material on the front of the drawers was a weird type of plastic and it was black making it really hard to go over! But it finally worked, not too sure if I like it or not..i did a mushroom, then moon with stars, then a sun.  I'm liking the sun part a lot! I did go over with a gloss varnish finish.  I discovered my love for Quinoa lately..made a lemon and chives quinoa with red bell peppers and tomatoes..yum!! You can eat this hot or cold.  This quinoa craze started when I ate a power salad bowl at a cafe which had avocados, chick peas, cucumbers, wild Cali mix salad, couscous and of course quinoa..the only thing I didn't like was that there was way too much almonds in it..i'm not a fan of almonds, I love cashews!
