I was on a movie for three months and it kept me on my toes. I have been on a break for a little bit and I am back some of the things I love to do... I found four matching chairs earlier this year. I loved them and used them to replace the chairs that I purchased with the table. However, I never liked the color that they were. So stripped them down as best I could and repainted them black. Take a look and tell me what you think...<br />

This is an appetizer salad. I made this for four people. You can scale it however you want.<br />
<br />

<br />
I started with a ripe Pineapple that I cleaned and cored. I made eight slices (2 for every person). The slices should not be too thick.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then I grilled the pineapple. I lightly oiled the pan, and mean lightly. Then I put the stove to medium/high heat. I grilled each side till the had some browning like the above photo. The slices get a more saturated yellow. Then I set the grilled Pineapple on plates. Two per plate.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
Then I made this... This is five very small avocados, so if you use large I would say three to four. I added soem fresh made salsa without the juice. You could either do that or add one sliced up Jalapeno, have of a small onion, and one chopped up tomato. Then I added about 1/3 cup of chopped cilantro. When you are all done, gently mix them in the bowl.<br />
<br />
Add this dressing. The juice of 3 limes, or about 1/3 cup, 1 teaspoon of dijion mustard, 1 teaspoon agave(this is totally optional), 1 teaspoon soy sauce (you could add a little more if you prefer), and 2 tablespoon olive oil. If, you like you can also add cayenne pepper ( put in the tiniest doses and taste as you go, to make sure you can handle it).<br />
<br />
Stir dressing and dump on top of your avocado salad. Let is sit and leave it alone.<br />
<br />
In mean time. Take shrimp that have been cleaned and deveined and sprinkle with salt and paprika. (I sued about 1 lb of shrimp for eight and that was a lot!) Toss in a skillet and grill till it is cooked through.<br />
<br />
Set the shrimp aside.<br />
<br />
Toss the salad with the dressing gently. Scoop the salad onto the pineapple. When all the salad has been placed, add the shrimp on top. Done!<br />

<br />
If, you feel up to it you can toss some extra pineapple or mango on top.<br />
<br />
Also you can eat this with Tostadas!<br />

I attempting to redo my indoor garden. My first attempt ended rather abruptly and pathetically. So, now I am "building" a small garden on top of my fridge. Some pretty plants and some herbs. Here is the first two... I am potting a new rosemary plant (A donation from my uncle and aunt).<br />

It is too late to go out and too early to go to bed. You open the windows for a fresh breeze.. time to watch a rom-com. But which one?<br />
<br />
You've got to have the right combination of laughter, romance and beauty. Here are my most reliable summer rom-coms...<br />
<br />
1. SABRINA: 1954 (I actually the re-make as well. It has the same plot just different theme)<br />
<br />
PLOT: Poor, young girl goes to France to become sophisticated and stylish to win the heart of a rich playboy.<br />
<br />
STARS: Audrey Hepburn - Humphrey Bogart - William Holden<br />
<br />
HIGHLIGHTS: Gorgeous fashion thanks to Audrey. The music (not a musical) is very romantic. Who doesn't like to watch rich people and their pretty stuff?<br />
<br />

My kitchen will never be the same.</div>Mandy Graysonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15075375104671497024noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044963163369753926.post-54619267176067248982012-05-10T09:17:00.001-07:002012-05-10T09:17:53.044-07:00WaysideI was right in the middle of finishing the bench I have been making out pallet boards, when I got the call for work. It has been three weeks since I have touched that bench and it reminds me of all the things that have been set aside. <br />
<br />
Starting in October my husband and I made a change in our diet. We decided that we were going to eat healthier and exercise more. Over the course of the months, we have stopped drinking soda and we have not touched fast food (which was a huge part of our fast paced lives). It was difficult to home cook three meals when working all day. A lot of times it results in going out to a healthy place.<br />
<br />
While all this made a great impact in our health our food budget took a great hit. It feels like the moment I have been catching up to accomplish one thing some else gets put to the side. I see people who seem to be able to do it all. But I think that even with the most dedication something is being neglected. Maybe not the budget, healthy eating conundrum but something else.<br />
<br />
What is being put to the wayside that should not be and what can be put to the wayside for something more important?<br />
<br />
I think that the bench can wait but I don't think my budget should.<br />
What do you want to pull out of the wayside?<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: large;">MG</span><br />
<br />
P.S. At one time or another these are some things that have gone to the wayside( or have been rescued from the wayside)<br />
<br />
A clean apartment<br />
TV shows<br />
Dental health<br />
Spiritual health<br />
Organized paperwork<br />
Random Hobbies<br />
Buying decorating magazines<br />
Budget<br />
Buying shoes<br />
Watering Plants...(this list could gone forever)<br />

In California we have squirrels. Which are these gigantic gray hideous rodent like creatures. Then we saw these guys... instant love. So cute no wonder they made so many cartoons with them in it.</div>

It was called Urth Cafe (Downtown LA). We split a sandwich and had our own desserts and drinks. The caprese panini was amazing, as was my green tea boba. I will be back...<br />
<br />
Anyways, while we were driving away we noticed that the 6th St. Bridge was completely empty. Inspired we took a few photos. My camera did not do well with the lowlight.<br />

Much later a friend called and asked us if we could help them pick up a couch from craigslist (ha). On our way we ended at at stoplight next to the Hollywood Bowl. I took some photos at the redlight. I never noticed how lovely it looked before.<br />
