New blog with recipe added this time, some spoilering for the non-meatarians readers, and some talk about my Christmas menu.
This curry can be made vegetarian, with chicken (which I did), or with fish. For the vegetarian version, just add a combination of your favourite vegetables at the end. I like spinach, peas or scallions for this. I used chicken in this curry, but it's... Read More
sounds like a great menu.
we're having lobster for christmas eve dinner with his family, but will probably be on the road at christmas dinner time (glenn has to be at work at the usual 2am the day after christmas...sucks).
when i was growing up, our family always had turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, etc...a repeat of thanksgiving dinner, but no one ever complained.
enjoy all that cooking. and even more, enjoy all the food when you're done making it.
First snow of the season came down this weekend. When I got up Saturday morning, the streets were covered in white, but that proved to be leftovers from a heavy hail storm during the night. But sure enough, it started snowing later on in the day, and it snowed pretty much all day Sunday. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas this year? It usually doesn't... Read More
Past Tuesday it was St. Maarten's day over here, which I love. Kids go door-to-door, singing a song in exchange for candy, so cute. It's a little like Halloween, but without the scary or dressing up parts. Though due to the proximity in dates and similairity to Halloween, Halloween decorations are more-and-more used the past few years. It was a bit of a disappointment this... Read More

Like I said in an earlier blog, there have been some things on my mind lately. Not all of them are negative by the way, or not too badly anyway. They're just things I can't seem to not think about. I'm going to try and structure them a bit, and give you a little insight in my life. I spoilered each item,... Read More
tara is so cute!
and you can't worry too much about those things or it will drive you crazy! just take it one day at a time. let life happen and accept what it brings you. don't take on too much.
as for the depression, like you mentioned it's more of a physical, chemical thing...not something you choose to have (ok, maybe choose is a bad choice of word, but you get my meaning), and it's not a question of "what right do you have to be depressed". depression happens to people, and you have to deal with it when it comes to you. the doc's love loading people up on meds to offset the depression, and meds can fuck you up too. so maybe try to find alternative ways of treatment...yoga, massage, etc. that reminds me, i need to find a yoga place for me. i loved yoga when i did it for a short time. now i need to find prenatal yoga.
take care. hang in there!
I use to have a lot of migraines when I was younger, but luckily enough they mostly went away when I reached my teens. They do occassionally come back though, and I had quite a bad one today. It didn't start out that bad, not much more than a normal headache. But as I was getting ready for work, it got progressively worse, to that... Read More
I hate migraines, I get them all the time so I know what you mean about getting sick and wanting to crawl in a hole. Hope it wasnt too horrible and passed reasonably fast.
I've been sick the past couple of days. And you know what sucks most about it? Not my nose imitating a leaky faucet, or my head feeling like it's going to explode, but the inner-ear infection that came with it. It's only mild (I've had plenty of them in the past, that hurt far more), but it's making my inner-ears itch so bad, and it's... Read More
Well, not much has been going on. Work has been keeping me busy, and I haven't really had time (or motivation) for anything else. The most exciting thing I've done, is probably buying a new suit last week (as some of you already know, as I've been bugging everyone about picking out a tie for... Read More
I had been doing a lot better with depression the past few months, I've made quite some progress. But since I got back from my trip to the States, work has been deadline after deadline, which has me... Read More
Though I do have to admit, that wearing suits do make me feel like I look good. Or at least better.
They're just not nearly as comfortable as wearing cargo pants and skate shoes .
Not much going on this week, just busy with work. I... Read More

well...i changed my mind. this new cut is easy to take care of and out of my face.
