Home Sweet Home

Hello everyone. I've been away for quite a while. I was super busy at work and then I went on vacation for 9 glorious days to my hometown: "Sweet home, Chicago" I had a load of fun. Here's a few pictures of me in my hotel and a couple of teasers too.
Me in my hotel room



At the field museum standing in front of SUE the T-Rex. It was amazing

A picture of a child mummy. A little creepy but really interesting

The main event in Chicago then. Lalapalooza. Yeah, Don't know why I picked this time to go back home. There was like a Billion people there. It was fun though to see all the funny tourists.

Chello! Happy 4th!

I Love Rick Bayless :)
He's my favorite Mexican Cook, although he's not even Mexican. hehe :)

I just adore his show which comes on Saturday mornings on ch 11. (Check your local listings for the times) Anywho... I love his authentic salsa and tried to concoct my own version.

The man literally has a full fledge garden in his own back yard so some ingredients I had to omit but it came out good nonetheless.

Ingredients:
1.Tamitillos (green tomatoes) This is quite different from the typical red tomatoes but it produces a very great taste for salsa.
2. onion
3. on-the-vine red tomatoes
4. Jalapeno pepper (just a tad) Caliente!
5. Garlic
6. Cilantro
7. Lemon juice (MUCHO!)
8. Sea Salt








But Wait! You know I couldn't just eat chips and salsa all day.
Four tacos made with ground beef, moz cheese, avocado and of course MY Salsa! Muy bueno!




After a couple of days of mexican food you can get a little Cansada of it. hehe (That means tired people, Keep up:)
I made some wingllets and poured my left over salsa on them as marinade. Smart Aint I :)


Also added this stuff ::)))Bon A Petite !

It was DELISH!

Om-e-let myself go crazy :+}

I've been on a consistent "lifestyle change", not "diet". lol

So.... I thought I'd reward myself since I almost forgot how "real" food taste, and OH BOY.....

I made a SUPER omelet. I really didn't have any planned ingredients. I just rummaged through my fridge and came up with this...

(3 eggs, 1 on-the-vine tomato, Oscar Meyer's bacon bits, shredded moz cheese, onions, cilantro, and sour cream to finish) Yeah I know, I'm ridiculous :)

OH and I browned some hash browns and threw that inside the omelet before I enclosed it. Smart aint I? lol
And..... the results please
I feel disgusting....but it was so worth it

I had to wash that down with some of my mango lime-aid which 100% of the profits go to fund Haiti. Great taste+ Great cause= Winner!

A wise man once asked, " can a person wear too much denim?"
The answer is irrefutably "NO!"
Okay, maybe this didn't happen, but denim is making a come-back :)

Tried my Carol's Daughter hair butter again. You likey?
My curls were a tad tight but I can deal with it. My hair was shiny and like before my curl definition was on point :)
