My first attempt. Yum. I'll try to remember what I did...  First, leave 500g chicken to marinate in pineapple juice (juice from 115g small pack of pineapple tidbits, set aside the bits for later), ~30 minutes. Now, onto cooking... Fry 1 small potato (cubed) in some oil on high until partially cooked. Set this aside too, for later. Turn heat down to medium. Saute half a white onion (sliced) until soft. Add 2 garlic cloves (chopped), saute pa. Add 2 sweet tomatoes (quartered), saute konti. Take care, tatalsik. Add marinated chicken pieces. Mix, mix. Cover and simmer on high until meat is white ~5 mins. The chicken and tomatoes will let out their own juices. Add the marinade. Mix. Cover and simmer again ~5 mins. Turn heat down to medium. Mix. Add 250g box of all-purpose cream. Fill this box ~1/2 way with water, shake and pour into the pan. Mix. Add the pineapple tidbits. Mix.  Simmer on medium uncovered ~10 minutes or until chicken is cooked. Mix.  Add the fried potaotes, 1 tsp. M

Growing organic tomatoes (day 3)

Image
Ooh... Hang in there, buddy! The seeds came from this kind of sweet, organic tomatoes. We just cut it into smaller pieces and planted a couple of the pieces three days ago, not very deep into the potting soil (the rest of the slices we used for an omelet the next day)... And as you can see up top, one of the 'lil buggers sprouted this morning, yay!

Fried beef, buttered corn, cucumber

The cucumber, clean and refreshing, was marinated overnight in a mix of Bragg apple cider vinegar, Stevia, black pepper, and some water. Best served cold, of course.

Pulseras by Kim gold-filled ring

Image
Gold-filled ring . Size 8. Simple & chic. Bought this online at pulserasbykim.com . I recommend this shop. Transaction was smooth and shipping was quick. I like it very much. The size 8 is okay for a thumb ring on me but a little too loose so, maybe a 7 would have been better. I want to find another gold-filled ring like this in a size 6.5 for my index finger, or a size 6 for my ring finger. Funny thing is, I did not know my ring size before buying this. Now, I think I have a pretty good idea. :)
