Just Beautiful: Geranium

My very first time to join this meme: Just Beautiful! I love gardening. I also love houseplants. One of hubby's favorite indoor/outdoor plant is Geranium for it reminds him of his grandmother. He told me, he used to smell this flower when they were visiting his grandparents every Sunday when he was little. And so, I made sure that we always have this flower plant at home.

Yummy Chocolate Chip Cookies

If you are looking for a yummy and soft chocolate chips cookies, this one is for you. I like my cookies soft and chewy and so when I bake some I make sure that they are not crunchy, but chewy instead. To make it healthy, I put some walnut as well. I got this recipe by the way from allrecipes.com. You should visit them for they have tons of recipes from all over the world!

Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 (3.4 ounce) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)

Procedures:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour and baking soda, set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar. Beat in the instant pudding mix until blended. Stir in the eggs and vanilla. Blend in the flour mixture. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips and nuts. Drop cookies by rounded spoonfuls onto un greased cookie sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Edges should be golden brown.

They Got An RV!

Last week, A friend of mine mentioned to us that her husband came home one day driving an rv. She was surprised! Her husband had traded his old truck in exchanged for his long time dream; owning a recreational vehicle! I am so happy for my friend. Now, they can travel with all their kids anywhere they want to when the school is off, like on spring break or even summer. Actually, they already planned on going to Chicago this summer. Talking about used rv, my friend's rv needs a little bit of fixing, and so they are looking for a place that do some kind of rv repair. Her husband is a handyman and can easily does the repairing himself; but he is busy with his work. So, they can use a hand to fix it. If I can remember, she mentioned about the flooring and some cosmetics which can be fixed in no time. Hopefully before the summer starts.

Scratches On Kitchen Sink

The other day while I was doing some general cleaning in the kitchen, I noticed that our kitchen sink has scratches on it. I felt bad because we have just purchased it when we bought the house. last year. I don't really remember scratching it with something sharp. I don't think my son did it because I never allow him to use the kitchen sink to wash his hands even though he wanted to use it so bad! Could it be my husband? Not really sure! Anyway, it seems to me that we would need to replace it sooner than what we thought.

Yes, I DO!

You Eat Like a Typical Woman

You tend to gravitate toward foods that are lighter and healthier. You are an adventurous eater, and you're always interested in learning how to cook new things. Like the majority of women, you tend to snack throughout the day and avoid big meals. You prefer the little of everything approach. You don't want to be weighted down by your food.

Amazing how this thing fits perfectly into mine. I am exactly that person described in this post :-)! I do eat healthy foods. I eat small meals with small snacks in between otherwise my blood sugar will spike up. Being a diabetic is not that easy, but I am doing well. I follow my docotr's advised and keep track on my carb and sugar intake.
