Holiday recap

So I finally fell behind on my posting, which is no good considering a lot has happened... Easter weekend went very well I am very happy with my future family in love, I have yet to see a negative to any of them. We ate our own weight in crawfish and drank till we stumbled into the campers. I thought I took pictures of the pink lemonade cake I made for Easter but I can't seem to find them, if I do I will post.

April 10th 2005, was the day my now fiancé asked me to be his girlfriend. On Tuesday's my fiancé works nights so we celebrated early on Saturday. He surprised me with an authentic Rangers jersey, and FRONT ROW SEATS! To the rangers second home game! I was absolutely mesmerized by how close I was. If I screamed the player would have actually be able to HEAR me! On a daily basis I realize how blessed my life is, and every day I spend with my fiancé I feel like he just blesses my life more and more.

Easter of coarse was Sunday and I nanny Monday and Friday so coming back to the babies the day after they get baskets FULL of treats was an interesting day. Who ever decided to make all these holidays of gift giving, sucks. Especially for families with multiple kids, all day it was a none stop "Mine!" festival. This is mine that is mine, you have more than me... Luckily toys don't capture attention for long and all their Easter stuff only lasted for a day.

How very, mom like of you.

I am blogging from my kitchen today which is quite a shock considering the fact that i have had ZERO motivation for anything today. Yes i know, it is my day off i shouldnt have to do anything today, but the reality is that i have A LOT to do and i almost didnt make it from the bed to the couch. Oh the hard life i live... Not. Eventually i made it to the couch, then back to bed, i actually did come to the kitchen to make a nice fresh grapefruit juice for breakfast, then right back up to the couch. this all started at 6am when my fiancé left for work (i am a very light sleeper). As i was flipping and reflipping through the stations on tv with no luck on finding anything to watch i finally decided on a little trashy day time talk show till i realized that time had flown by and i really did need to get up and go.


This coming weekend is Easter and i am going "camping" with my whole family in law. i guess i have yet to mention this but i am a bit of a cooking addict, i come from a very big very Latin family and we are all about food and drink. i have been bless with the passion for food and a sixth sense for spices, its not just a hobby its a life style. Baking is my all time favorite thing to do in the kitchen, its soothing and helps me clear my head of everything else that happened that day.

since wednesday is my day off i thought i would do a trial run of what i want to take to Easter. When ever i cook i always like to try something i have not made yet, so naturally i would like to make sure that what ever i plan on taking to my fiances family turns out right. So I chose chocolate coated cake stuffed strawberries, sounds tricky because it is tricky. I am not a fan of cake balls but everyone else seems to be so I thought why not take a perfectly well made cake turn it into crumbs then squish it back together again... Then stuff about a pinch of it into strawberries because that is all that will fit. Once all that is done coat the strawberry with out all the cake falling out. They tasted good but I think just having fresh strawberries on a vanilla cake would taste good too. So in the end I feel like the results are not good enough for the amount of work they take. So I will be looking for something else to make tomorrow.
