a day for cooking

I haven't cooked much since last summer. First it was due to school, then it was our vacation and then it was the holiday season. Another 2011 to do is to cook more, i think this will be very doable due to my new 90 day veagatarian (plus seafood) diet. Today Ciana (leong) came over & we made a brunch feast. Menu consisted of banana ebelskivers, shrimp & mushroom egg foo young, brown rice & mimosas. Everything turned out amazing.

And then for dinner I made blackened salmon, steamed broccoli, sauteed zucchini, brown rice & a ceasar salad (which is wearing off as I stay up later). I looked up a bunch of different recipes for the blackened seasoning and wrote thier ingredients down, then i went downstairs & made my own with the spices we had and with ones i thought would fit. It was a nice surprise that the seasoning blend turned put great. I'll post the recipe tomorrow.

Now, all I need to due is add workouts to my days.

Movie Time #1 : The Fighter

Today was a good day. I went for a walk this morning while on a phone date with dee. Researched some healthy stuff from Fitness magazine, relaxed then headed out to town to meet up with Ciana Leong and Audenne to have dinner at goma tei and to watch a movie, The Fighter. I want to try and see as many movies as I can that are nominated for the 2011 Golden Globe awards. I enjoyed the movie. I couldn't believe how much weight Christian Bale lost for this role. He's such a method actor. Well it worked for him. His performance was very good. Amy Adams also did a great job. The film had heart, humor and drama. After the movie Audenne went on her date and C & I had some wine and talked story for awhile. I stayed out a lot longer & spent a lot more money then I anticipated.
food log:
two slices of wheat toast with butter
caesar salad
tapioca pudding
two kirin beers
goma tei tan tan ramen
a million dollar margarita
popcorn
arare
coke
4 glasses of wine
chips and art dip
grilled cheese sandwich


... ok maybe i didn't do that great with all the alcohol, but at least i stayed true to my veggie diet

Happy Birthday Mommy & Happy New Year | 2011

Yesterday my mom would of turned 47 years old.
To celebrate her birthday, Ro & I went to the Haleiwa Cafe for breakfast. I'm in loove with their huevos rancheros. {something my mom would of loved too} Then we picked up a lei from longs and headed to keiki beach {where i spread her ashes in June 2007}. It was a beautiful day at the beach. I wish I wore my bathing suite so I could of laid out. My darkness is fading from last summer :(.





I've noticed that when I visit my mom at Keiki, I never feel as sad as I do on other occasions. I'm sure the beautiful beach and warm sun aides those sad feelings away. After I threw the lei in the winter ocean breaks Ro & I relaxed and watched all the crazy beach goers battle to get in and out of the winter breaks. We were even able to get our feet wet from the wave breaks. The cool water felt so good on my feet.





After running plenty of errands at pearl city, longs and walmart and resting in our cave (bedroom), we then got ready to start celebrating our New Years Eve. We decided to stay at home the whole time & I'm glad we did. Their was a great feeling of love and ohana at the Medrano hale last night. It was especially nice to spend some time with Ro's cousins, Meghan & Lauren and the two little ones, James & Kyle.
