My life rocks.

Saturdays are my favorite day of the week.

I have been getting up very early on Saturdays lately to get to my new favorite place...

The Farmers Market!

The first time I went was kind of scary!

I am not a fan of being out of my Sandyland comfort zone and this is downtown!

But I made my friend go with me and we loved it!

Since starting my weekly visits I have found the best booths to buy my pesto, veggys and fruit.

This weekend I went with my friend Yo Adriane.

It was so nice to play catch up and we ran into her fantastic family who acted like we hadn't seen each other in two days instead of 6 years!

They even treated me to a waffle from Bruges that was excellent!

We walked around for hours and even ventured out to the Mexican market to pick up some meat for my bbq later that night!

{yo Adriane and I}

Later that night we had a block party.

We had an awesome turnout and everyone had a really good time!

I ♥ Boobies.

My girl Wendy is strong.

That is the perfect word for her.

As I have posted before she is going through breast cancer and is going to kick its butt.

Wendy knew her hair was going to come out, she tried to prepare herself for the moment.

Would you want to watch your long beautiful locks fall out in chuncks or just get it over with?

Wendy wanted to shave hers so she invited her loved ones over to be there with her when she did it.

Welcome to the party...

Wendys Familia.

The sexy wig!

Could she be any sexier????

Love you Wendy!

Good thing my sis is so smart...

When Diego and I bought our camera we debated on whether to get a nice compact or a cheaper DSLR.

We did our research and all the websites pointed to this bad boy.

We used the camera while in Uruguay and I loved the photos we got.

Mo recently got herself a bad ass DSLR and now she is a photographer...

at least she pretends to be...

She was playing with my camera and informed me of all the amazing things my camera does that I had no idea about!

Here are some of my cool photos...

Fun Huh!

Rockin the leg warmers...

Perfect freakin weekend!!!

Adventure!

Kelly was having a bad day so I decided that I would take her some Choco Chip cookies!

I did not want to skip my walk that night so Paola and I decided to walk to the trax station,

then ride trax to Kellys new place!

My beautiful cookies!
I was trying to walk 20 MPH but I was not allowed!

At the trax station!

I have not been on trax for about 7 years!

{I have way to much anxiety!}

It took us about an hour to walk all the way there!

I am so proud that I actually got on!

Paola helped me not hyperventilate!

Kelly loved her cookies!

Don't worry...

We found some pants at the trax station!

{What the F people!}

Angel Kisses

This is Jacque!

She is my California friend!

We met at Kelly's baby shower and talked that whole night!

Now whenever her and Micheal come in town I have to see her!

Isn't she just the cutest Irish/Californian girl ever!

{I just love all of her freckles!}
Ha Ha Ha!

One day I am going to be as skinny as you Miss Jacque!

Kelly! How do we not have any pictures with all three of us?

Spanish Recipe!

Since Diego wont teach me to cook some Uruguayan food I asked my little brown friend to help me!

First we had to take a trip to the Mexican store Anayas.

The meat counter at this place is awesome. I am glad I took my translator with me!

Now I am going to teach you how to make Milanesa!

Enjoy!

I always get a lot of meat when I get there because I can freeze what I don't use.
I would say that for 4 people you would only need 3 pounds.

Kelly usually buys her meat at Smiths or Harmons but make sure it is really thinly cut but I went all the way and got the good stuff!
When you are preparing your meat make sure there is not a lot of fat on them. You do not want any holes in your meat. So make the meat two or three pieces instead of 1.

What you need:

• Eggs (beaten)
• Italian bread crumbs
• oil to fry your meat in {Kelly does hers inside in a skillet but Diego hates the smell of fried food in the house so we decided to do it in the deep fryer outside! but make sure your meat is not bigger than your basket in your deep fryer!}
• Two deep dishes {one for your Italian bread crumbs, one for your eggs!}
  Tongs to flip the meat if you are using a skillet or to keep the meat under the oil in the fryer.
• Oh and your meat!

1st put your meat into the bread crumbs and make sure none of the flaps are folded over.
Next dip it in eggs.
{Diego says his Momma put milk in her eggs.}
Make sure everything is coated with the egg.

Than you SQUISH the hell out of the meat in the bread crumbs again. And you really do need to press down hard to make sure that your crust does not crumble off when it is frying!

Can you see the force I am using! : )

Kelly is a little bit better at it than me!

Make sure you have enough bread crumbs to go around. I would say always have an extra bottle just in case.

The boys decided to take over for the frying part of the meal!

Your hand get very cakey when you are doin the smushin!

Make a whole plateful and then start your frying.
We had two per person and that was PLENTY!!!

We had our deep fryer on 275 and it was perfect. The inside got cooked before the outside got burned.
{Yummy!}

Since the boys were finishin up I decided to take photos!

{yes Kelly I am glad you can be in our Christmas photo!}

Kelly's BEAUTIFUL Colombian mother made us some traditional South American Potato Salad.

{Just 411, Uruguayans put Mayo on EVERYTHING!!!}
Very yummy salad!

I finally got to eat my Milanesa!!!

Definitely put some lime on it!!

It was Delish!

Even Ary liked the limes!

{Ary is giving the "how could you" look to her momma!}

Lexie and Mo showed up after dinner.

{love these girls!}

And of course no get together of our would be complete with out a game of hand and foot!

Shocker! I lost again!

Perfect night!
