Spaghetti

mum made spaghetti tonight for dinner….it was okay altho i wasnt really craving it.  I think spaghetti is one of those meals you need to be craving for it to be really good.  Then i wanted to make cookies but dad said i need to exercise….i now feel fat…ill be eating veggies and fruit for the next month…tear…

without cheese

When i left to go put lukie up in his cage, i came back to this…dad said spaghetti isn’t spaghetti without parmesan cheese.   I like it but grated…not into powder…oh well still good.

“American Tacos”

Instead of sitting here writing how much i miss my foo chiang and how depressed i am…i been posting what i’ve been eating (if you havent noticed). Pretty much all i been doing to stay busy (and cleaning) so i dont focus on how much i miss him. I ate my beef stew this morning for breakfast…i know what you thinking…who eats beef stew for breakfast…but i dont like breakfast food really…esp for breakfast, it makes me gag. ANYWAYS…I made Tacos for Lunch! I didnt have all the ingredients but i worked with what i had. I usuaully have tons of tomatoes cause you all know how much i love tomatoes. But i didnt have any…so i had to pick them out of something else my mum had made. (dont say eww) I only got like 5 little pieces but it works. i didn’t have a avocado. “No avocados” hahhaa…I know my foo chiang is laughing. Anyways, like any other american taco…it contains….the tortilla, hard or soft, whatever your into…I like them hard…but soft is better. That comment didn’t sound right, but you know what i mean. Then the lettuce, meat with the taco seasoning, topped with onions, tomatoes, pretend avocado, topped with mexican seasoning cheese topped with jalapeño topped with the hot red taco sauce topped with sour cream….

Semester Grades Are In!

Got my grades for the semester!!! I think I did pretty well! Maybe if i studied harder in calculus i would of gotten a better grade. But its pretty good for going straight from high school algebra to college calculus…with no college Algebra or finite.  I beleive its been 5 years without any math, so…now i getta go backwards and take finite math then college algebra. I like doing things backwards and the hard way. I’m finally finished with my AS with 90 credits and 3.6 gpa! (would of been 3.8 if stupid calculus argh…no regerts) and now transferring to Indy. I’m getting excited!

Beef Stew

Todays been extremely boring, lonely, and long. It doesnt matter how much stuff I try to…to keep busy, it just keeps getting longer….like time has stopped. I’ve never had a long break before…ive always been in school. Its only been 2 days! With Justin studying for finals and I’m finished…i just don’t know what to do with myself….perhaps i need a job, or maybe just a book to read. I’ll get on that tomorrow. So anyways, back to my beef stew. We make this probably once a month…its easy, healthy, fast, and cheap! okay maybe not “fast”…but put it on before u go night night then wake up to your house smelling like beef stew…thats fast…Its done at a wink of a eye…well kinda…

Onions, celery, garlic, carrots, potatoes

Its done! I’m kidding…it wont be done for another 7 hours. Actually this isnt all that goes into it…me and mum have a secret ingredient and didn’t want anybody to figure it out. It contains a can ____* shhh i have already said too much.

*update*

Just went to stir and take a picture…looking good…5 more hours left…

5 hours later….actually 7…mum already put it in fridge for me….

All Done!

Polygamist Families Separated

I don’t’ have much to say about this topic…i just want to put my two cents in. What this country did to that community was wrong. I don’t care what religion or who the father was to those children…you DO NOT separated kids from mothers, and sure and the hell don’t separate the kids from their siblings. Damn this country. Its their religion, let them live the way they want….this country has no freedom of religion or speech. You can only follow rules from the government. Just leave the Mormons alone…and send those kids back to their mothers and fathers.

Dinner

Since I posted breakfast and lunch, i mind as well post my dinner. I feel like i’ve eaten so much today….i feel so full, but looking at each meal, your probably thinking i don’t eat much. But trust me…its lot for me. I eat alot of ‘natural’ and ‘healthy’ food. *minus the bacon on my BOLT.

Tomatoes…and cooked carrots and potatoes with garlic and onions, and seasoning….

BOLT aka BLT

Idk why im posting what im eating today, but i am. I made a “BLT”…but I call it a BOLT. Bacon, Onion, Lettuce, and Tomatoes. It sure was yum…the onions are steamed..*i can’t eat onions plain…hurt my tummy…

Who wants the other half???

Eggs for kids

I hardly ever eat breakfast but when I do I like to make it like my mummy used to when I was little. She always made our food into heart shaped or smiley faces or into our names. I dont think i appreciated as much as I do now. I guess its cause I know why she did it, not just to get us to eat our food, but cause she wanted us to feel loved and special. I know i’ll probably do the same for my children and perhaps my husband. He’ll come home to a plate of food that says i love you.

heres pic of something my mummy would of done….dont make fun of the eyes…ok my mum would of done better! i used two different type of eggs, one brown and one white…the one messed up is the brown one…but also better then the white egg….

Ratatouille

I’ve had busy day! I been out buying stuff for my new apartment, which i move in, in 3 weeks. We found me a queen size bed (no more twin…yay)…and im even getting my tempur pedic mattress. I just now ordered my Lacoste bedding. (talked my parents into it.) Although I have to wait a month to get it, im sure its worth the wait. And since they keep buying me stuff by the thousands, I decided to make them a healthy meal tonight…My version of Ratatouille. Instead of baking it for an hour, its finished in 10 mins. It contains everything ratatouille has, just no tomatoes puree and instead of baking, i steam it.

steam baby steam….

all done…

Krista’s Rat-a-too-ee

1/2 onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, chopped
Olive oil or butter…whatever you prefer
1/2 eggplant (depends on ur size)
2 zucchini (again depends on size)
2 yellow squash (depends on size…mine were little)
1/2 red bell pepper
Salt and pepper
Krista’s secret seasoning

throw all in skillet…and steam away (throw some water in there too)

Myanmar doesn’t want our help

Everybody has heard about the cyclone that has hit Myanmar, well I been wondering why the United States hasn’t been helping them. We only see little footages and tonight they actually showed some guy going in and a government official wouldn’t let him inside their village. What I don’t understand is…they are sick, dying, disease, yet they don’t want help from the United States. Later they will just complain that we didn’t help them. We can not win!!! Tonight, when I heard Myanmar didn’t want our help, and didn’t want us in their country, I wasn’t too shocked. But what gets me so angry is this is the government speaking. It’s not the little kids without parents or the elderly that are sick; it’s the politicians in the country that are saying they don’t “need” our help. What’s it going to take for them? For half their country to die?…oh wait, already over 100K died…and more with disease…I guess let them all die and perhaps they will wonder what went wrong….

My heart goes out to the ones that have lost their family in the cyclone and those who will. I’m sorry for your government getting in the way of your hungry and sick love ones.
