Every Woman's Dream

-



I've got every woman's dream. A few days ago was my 8th anniversary. I have been married to a great husband, couldn't have asked for someone better. God truly knew what He was doing when He matched us up. I mean, all I needed to do was trust that He would take care of my love life. That's all. That simple.

By trusting that He would take care of my love life. I demonstrated that trust by actually trusting. I didn't need to date this guy or that guy or sleep around to 'test the waters' as they say. I didn't need to have sleepless nights worrying about where my guy is, didn't care if I was seen as the girl with not boyfriend all throughout high school. I just trusted God.

You don't need to be some religious person to do that. It's just a decision you make and what you force your body to do or not do. For instance if I borrow you $100 because I trust you will give it back to me next week. I don't need to keep asking you for it, I don't need to ask others for money because you won't come through with your end of deal. I trust you, You will do it... Same with God. You do your part. Trust Him, and let Him do His share. Find that Princess or Prince for you.

It's not a fairy tale. But these kinds of people do live 'Happily Ever After'. I do...

Anyway, for my 8th anniversary my husband decided to surprise me with a professionally made anniversary cake. On the cake a love declaration letter, bow and our picture all made out of edible treats. The cake itself was 3 layers of vanilla cake filled with nutella chocolate mousse.                          (I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE chocolate) Really creative. The icing on top was marzipan (a type of hard shaping icing used to cover and decorate a cake)



Needless to say, I was completely shocked. It was really thoughtful of my sweetheart to do this. He had to have put a lot of thinking into it. You see, my husband is my prince charming. Your prince charming or princess is out there somewhere but you need to get him or her the right way. By trusting God to give him/her to you.



If you haven't figured it out already, alone you'll only end up choosing the wrong ones. who will sleep with you, use you and forget about you by the next morning. Not someone who will constantly be thinking about you and figuring out little ways to make you happy,someone who wants to know who YOU truly are and not whats under your clothes. Do you catch my drift?

Hopefully this is thought provoking enough.

God Bless

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F
