My Moms Specialty: Curry Chicken and Roti

       One day I'll be able to try it on my own, but I need to perfect my chicken cooking first. I'm 100% Guyanese so you already know curry chicken is the "thing" in my household. My mom makes the best I've ever tasted. I had to try really hard not to get the curry all over my fingers because the stain is so hard to get out. But sometimes I cant help it, I must get my fingers all up in it so that I can eat it ow its supposed to be eaten. Here of some pics of my mom's curry chicken and roti.When I try to do it myself, I'll be sure to post the pictures and the recipe up. :) <3

Get your fingers all in it!

This Week's Nail Design

Today I did my nails using the purple nail polish I got from the beauty supply store on Sunday. I love the way everything came out. I'm definitely going to be using this purple more often. I just wish that the pictures cou;ld have come out as good as it did for real. I kinda hate the way my cuticles look, but hey...check out the nails!

This was the right hand. I always have trouble with my right hand because I am a righty. But one day I will get it right :)

This is the left hand. I'm quite proud. ;) Don't mind the cuticle areas, I always have trouble with those as well. I definitely  need to get a nail drill.

New Nail Polish :)

Hey guys! Sorry that I've been so busy last week. I did have a great time in NJ though. I saw For Colored Girls, and I must say it had my crying and laughing, and all sorts of other emotions . I came back home on Saturday night, and Sunday afternoon I got some great nail polishes. The colors are fabulous, but I'm just waiting for the time to do my nails so I could try them out :) I really can't wait to use the purple one.

I got the May 6ix polishes at a beauty supply store for 30 percent off of everything.
The LA Colors stripers were a dollar each in Dollar Tree ( love these so much!)

 

 

                            You will see nail designs with these colors incorporated in the future. 

The tips I like using for my acrylic nails. These are so good because I don't have to cut the bottom half so I could have more space for the acrylic. Do you know how hard it is to find the ones like these in my neighborhood!? I will be going back to that beauty supply store to buy out the entire rack :)

Discovery!

Hey guys! I'm in New Jersey for the week and I just wanted to talk about something that I found out about at breakfast time! Nutella. I've never heard of it before and my aunt introduced it to me by making nutella, avacado,and banana sandwich. I had half and it blew my mind. It could be used as a substitute for peanut butter, as it is made with hazelnuts. It's so sweet I swore it is chocolate. When I return home, I will be buying some and placing it in my fridge pronto.

It Feels So Good To Let It Go

Almost two years ago, my best friend and I had a ridiculous fight and I stopped speaking to her. Recently, she came up to me and apologized and now we are good friends. I just want to say, it feels so good to forgive and forget! When you are mad at someone for something they have done to you, its like carrying a load on your shoulder. Take my advice: let go of the past. It does nothing for you. Every time i saw her, I instantly became mad. I hated seeing her face. That's not a good thing. Guys I urge you, you might get mad at someone one day and they might die the next!! Make up with your friends, because in the end you might need them! I'm glad that she came to me and asked for my forgiveness because the whole situation was honestly stupid. Even if you don't talk to the person ever again, forgive them just for yourself, because it really is not good to hold hate in your heart.

         I also think that a part of growing up is learning how to let some things go. Even though a lot of adults still hold onto drama, I think it's a mature decision to let go of the negative. It helps to build character. However, I do have trouble doing it even if its killing' me to hold onto it. Its a bad habit. I especially can't let go of it when the person keeps hurting me and keeps trying to sabotage me. That's when I really can't let it go. But I'm going to pray on it, because Jesus forgives me every time I do something wrong. I should always forgive, because I'm certainly not perfect and I do despicable things.  Imagine if Jesus stopped forgiving me for everything I do and just let me burn in hell?
                                                           

What I Want..A Man

                                                             I want a guy that knows how to spell
                                                         Who knows how to make a proper sentence
                                                        That doesn't have to curse every other word
                                                           That wants to do something with his life
                                                          That doesn't wear his jeans bellow his behind
                                                             That doesn't make everything about sex
                                                                That doesn't think life is about weed

                                                                      That is a God fearing person
                                                          That doesn't treat people badly just because they
                                                                      don't wear Prada or Jordans,
                                                                        That aspires to be a real father
                                                                  That knows how to express himself.

                                                                            Is that too much to ask?

Journal: Feb 13th- Weekend

Today I woke up early again and decided to get things done. I originally planned on going to the YMCA to work out.. but that didn't happen because I had no bus fair...so I got my homework out of the way..then I cooked! This time I chose another recipe from Ateyya. It was a chili cheese casserole, made from ground beef. First while I was cooking the ground beef, I seasoned it with a mixture of salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Then I added chopped up onions.When it turned completely brown, I added the chili sauce, with beans, and cooked it down. Then I prepared a pan with a layer of tater tots at the bottom. Then I poured the chili mixture into the pan. I preheated the oven to 375 degrees. After I flattened it out, I added a layer of  shredded mozzarella cheese at the top and popped it in the oven for a little over 20 minutes. And here are the results!

The casserole.

The meal. I had some leftovers from the corn casserole i made last week, and it still tastes slammin

Then later on, to avoid adding any more pounds to my day, I had some mango and grapes. It was worth it. Light but satisfying.
