Dad knows best

So the blog's name is back to "Sunny all the time". Honestly there has not been a whole lot of partying going on lately. (Just a whole lot of painting and cleaning). Plus my dad told me that "Party all the time" was a bad name. In his words, "it's not funny, it's not sexy and it's not even blonde".

My dad is REALLY good at knowing the right way to get his point across.

For example when I was in my first year of high school, my aunt wanted to be the first one to give me my VERY first cigarette. So there we were being very naughty in the kitchen lighting up the skinny capris (she bought a box especially for the occasion since she does not smoke) while the rest of the family were all in the living room. Then finally they heard us snickering and made us come outside. So there I was, having my very first cigarette in front of my entire family.

My dad looked at me and said: "YOU definitely shouldn't. Honestly, you really don't look good smoking AT ALL... you're not tall enough to look good with a cigarette in your hand, and you're just not skinny enough, in order to smoke and look good, you gotta be as tall and skinny like those super models. With your frame it just looks dumb."

Needless to say I'm NOT a smoker.

Just like you know how everyone says you should drink plenty of water because it's good for you bla bla bla... and we never drink enough water. Well my dad has another direct explanation of why one should get enough water. "Because if you don't get enough water, you're allowing sediment to gather together in your gall bladder and when you hit 40 you'll be painfully peeing out boulders in the hospital with the help of doctors."

Thanks dad, I'm not a smoker, and I drink plenty of liquids. :)

If anyone has a burning question on their mind, please feel free to ask, I'll pass it on to my dad. But trust me the advice will NOT leave you unchanged.

It is official!

We have OFFICIALLY moved!!!

By officially I mean we have slept in then new house! And if I sleep somewhere that makes it official! ;)

Unless it's official I don't spend the night, if you know what I mean...

And I know that you know what I mean because I'm making it very clear.

And by clear I mean official!

So it's clearly very official!!!

Another words... I'm super excited!!! Even though yet another weekend was spent cleaning and re-cleaning and cleaning some more, and for some reason it's just seems to be getting messier and messier! At least the furniture has arrived and the MOST important thing... the internet is ON and the TV works. We just have one issue at the moment, there are more TVs then rooms in usage.

As I told my number one guest candidates (parents and bro) that their guest quarters are definitely coming along nicely. And of course there is a tv. Every room must have a TV. Except for the kitchen and the bathroom. In those rooms you need to concentrate on what you're doing. Stay focused and stuff.

Well, that's all for my little break, must go back to cleeeeeeaaaningggg....

Excuse me.. why doesn't this yellowfin have a yellow fin?

Ok, how blonde am I??

I bought this packet of frozen yellowfin fillets and went a bit too happy with it cooking it up in different ways.

I fried up a fillet with some flour and pepper.

I fried one up with a bit of olive oil and served it with a big salad and some potatoes.

I even added some of it to a spicy tomatoe sauce and then had it over fusilli...

Today, I was thinking what to do with the last fillet. While I defrosted it I prepared a lovely soup based on fish boullion with some vegetables and spices a bit of lemmon grass then as I was cutting up the defrosted fillets to put in a soup I took a really close look at them. They looked very curiously... done. Have I left them in warm water long enough for them to cook!???

Then it struck me!

I grabed the plastic bag in which the fillets were in, and sure enough in the instructions it said that the fillets were already cooked, they just needed a finishing touch such as a minute of frying or 2 minutes of steaming.

Oh! I thought, that explains the mystery of why the fillets cooked so fast!!!!

Wish list!

We worked all weekend long!! Painting and painting and floor laying! Wow. Good thing once again friends and family were there to give a professional hand.

I was tired, and maybe complained a bit, but to think of it, here we are moving into such a nice house... and dare we complain!? Ridiculous, yet so tipical :)

Now onto serious matters... The holidays are coming we all have our lists in our minds of all the wonderful presents we soon be exchanging with each other.

Here is a list from an organization (a really small one) who are working in about 4 villages in Dominican Republic. They're making really inspirational progress organizing water filtration systems one house (hut) at a time and working to build a better school for the kids.

They also have a wish list: http://www.nchild.org/trip_donation.htm

They've outline exactly what is needed, a lot of the stuff can be bought right from Walmart, or Home Depot.

Hmm... I wonder if I can ship over some fuzzy little chicks for the chicken farm!???

Power my Shower!

hmm... I'm actually not sure how I feel about these..

A RAIN Shower?

I think they look really pretty, but I don't think they're very practical. I like showers with lots of power! I would not like some weak drizzle in my shower! Ew.

Maybe someone can think of the super storm shower!? That would sound more up my alley. Maybe even a WAVE shower!!!!! You know like those wave pools! Awesome, I gotta confess I was a lifeguard at one of those during my Highschool years and let me tell you, everytime they'd turn the waves on, I'd have to kinda force myself to swallow... scary stuff...

So no rain showers at our new place, a bath however is in order. You can do all kinds of beauty treatments such as bathing in milk like Cleopatra!!! (whole milk, non of that 2% nonsence), or rose petal bath! Yummy! Vito thinks he is too much man to be taking baths.... well I don't know, I BET he'd enjoy nice aromatic bath with lavender salts and aromatherapy candles....
