Simply Delicioso

Earlier tonight my hubby displayed his culinary skills by whipping up a super-dooper, wonderful meal. Our friends, the Logans and Aguirres minus Vicky (she was in the hospital with her grandfather) came to our house and joined us for that scrumptious restaurant style but home-made goodness dinner.




Joe made a creamy onion soup for starters, grilled a skirt steak rubbed with southwestern seasoning as the entree, and not to be outdone was the cheesy twice-baked potato side dish. Yum'oh!



To finish it all off, dessert was the outrageously chocolatey brownies baked by moi -- you can't have too much chocolate! Perfect with a hot cup of coffee! (Recipe from Barefoot Contessa, for all you Foodnetwork fans out there!)

It was a nice time with friends - a little crazy with all the kids running around and our dog Prince barking so much... but it was a "homey" kind of crazines. And hey, we gotta get used to this craziness if we're going to have children of our own, right?

To the Logans and Aguirres, it is always a joy to have you. Looking forward to next time!

PS: Joe says: We would like to thank everyone that moaned, squealed, and went "mmm--mmm--good" during dinner. Please note: We are NOT responsible for any other noises made after dinner....LOL. Get ready, I'm already working on next weeks menu!

A Recap of 2007

Image
Year 2007 is soon to be officially over in a couple of days. As I bid adieu to this year, I know that 2007 will definitely leave an indelible mark in my spirit. This year I have battled and fought, overcome and conquered the many obstacles that life brought my way. It all began in October 2006 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, an invasive ductal carcinoma stage 4 which at that time had already metastasized to her bones, lymph nodes and skin. But even this horrible news did little, if anything, to put me down. I knew there would be an uphill battle ahead of me, but I prepared myself. I put on God's full armor and held on to God's promises in His word as tight as I could. So as the year 2007 came rolling in, I was ready. My heart was expectant of the Lord's miracles to take place in my life and in my family. I even went as far as boldly declaring 2007, being a year ending with the perfect number 7, as the year of PERFECTION - a year when everything in my life w

Shotgun Prayers

Lately I’ve been finding myself having quality time with God when I drive. It is embarrassing to admit, but it is when I am driving that I get my quiet, alone time with Him. Ironically, I am able to focus on the Lord very well despite the craziness of Miami's traffic. Within the four walls of my car I've poured out my heart and soul to the Lord. The car is privy to all these wonderful, sometimes desperate times with Him. If only my car can talk, I am sure that she would be able to tell you about my most fervent prayers, my secret longings and deepest sighs. But there are also those times that I find myself just throwing out one-line-prayers for someone, or for something. Like when an ambulance passes me by, I’d quickly say a prayer for the person in the rescue vehicle. Or, anytime when I see something in the street that moves me, I throw those one-liners out to God. Usually, these prayers are more like, “Bless that person Lord!” , “Help him/her live that she may know you !” O

MOTHERS

To all mothers who happen to read this blog, I just want to greet you a very happy mother's day. You are the silent heroes whose sacrifices are not acknowledged / recognized as often as they should be. Mothers, without you, we will never be the same. And for that, I want to let you know, thank God for mothers like you. May the Lord's anointing, grace, wisdom and strength abound in you all the days of your lives. Happy Mother's Day! P.S. Special shouts-out to my friends Holly Logan, Vicky Aguirre, Sylvia Meza, Adri Brigham and mother-to-be Rachel Justiniano on this day. You are such good examples to me. God bless you guys.
