I love posting about food, don’t ask me why because I’m really not a big eater. I like eating but I can be picky and difficult at times. Then again we all have our likes and dislikes. Though I have to add that my husband eats much more kinds of food than me and has less problems than myself. Tonight however, I made one of my favourite meals, Wiener schnitzel with a field salad and simply fries. I used a ready made dressing this time (Mediterran) but often I make my own dressing with mayonaise, mustard (just your own favourite one would work I guess), a little bit water (so its not too thick) lemon juice, sugar, salt and pepper to finish it off. Mix it all with a fork and try it with the tip of your finger to check the taste. The salad is just a field salad (also called spring salad), I cut tomato, a sweet apple and a onion in pieces and mix it with the salad and the dressing of my choice. The meat is just a normal schnitzel, I mix an egg in a little bowl and put the schnitzls in it so they all covered all arround. Then I put breadcrumbs (I use a ready made mix) on a plate and lay the schnitzel on it and cover them all arround with the dried breadcrumbs. Fry them on high fire with butter. Once done and on your plate, you put a little bit lemon juice on them and voila that’s it… now look here how good that looks!!! 🙂
I managed to make the lil video I have been trying to make for like two weeks now. What I’m talking about you wonder? what video? The video where Anarosa is walking on ofcourse! I had a few tries again yesterday but she keept seeing me and crawling towards me when she spotted the camera.. I don’t know what she is thinking of that lil box in my hand that flashes sometimes (when pictures are made). But for sure she thinks she needs to get her hands on it someday because she keeps trying to get it haha! Allright here is her lil video.
With her hands forward like that you’d almost think shes trying to pretend to be a zombie LOL. She is sooooo cute 🙂 And here I have something else i really want to show you. Anarosa reading a magazine Haha so funny, she was really turning the pages like we do, as if she was really reading it.
Of course I am talking about Anarosa, she has been putting little steps solo since her first birthday but shes getting more and more confident with herself now. Often I catch her getting up without holding herself and walking a few steps. Its awesome to see it and I have been tryign to catch it on camera and make a little video but everytime I have he camera she just falls down and she notices me and comes right up crawling to me to try take the camera LOL. Hopefully I will be able soon to show you how shes walking, even when its only a few steps :).
Well, I am having a normal day today. I woke up at 5:00 am to go to work. I was a little bit tired and sleepy, after all I slept only 4 hours, and it was raining and a bit and  cold outside.  Anyways, I got dressed, washed my face and went to work. It was really dark and the rain didn’t help either. At that hour, there is usually many bunnies around the road but not today. Maybe because it was raining and cold, thank god, the place where I work is not so far away from our house. It was lot of work to do and I even stay there 2 hours longer than I am normally scheduled, but its worthy since I get paid 200% more than normal for those extra hours. After work I went back home. Surprisingly, the sun was shining with not so many clouds. So, I didn’t have any trouble on the way home. When I finally got home, I put my keys and wallet away, changed my clothes and ate something. Then I sat on the couch with my laptop and relax for a bit… didn’t last long though. That was all so far till 2 pm. Maybe I will write the rest of my day later on. Right now, I am going to sleep for a couple hours and than play for a while something.
August 5 was my oldest Daughter her Birthday, since its vacationtime we didnt do a party for her, she rly never had a party because of that but we do always try to do something special on her birthday.  Ofcourse there are gifts too.She got a hairstyling set from phillips, which she has been wanting for 3 years allready, Ive gotten her the 20qball which rly is not so easy to get here in holland. We gotten our hair done on her birthday and later that day my mom came to visit us for her birthday. Merel loves  pizza so we ordered her a pizza. We picked up some indian food for ourselfs and  after wards ofcourse there was cake.
Today on august 6 My mom took us to the castlefest in Lisse. Thats some kind of fantasy/medievel event. So all three of us got dressed up. (Antonio stayed home looking after Anarosa) My mom bought Merel some kind of a gothic somewhat looking dress that she liked and although there where many lil  and bigger fairy statues, I didnt got myself to buy any of them because they where really  well priced. The store here in Amsterdam where we often go is cheaper and a lot more convienent so I dont have to drag an item thats very breakable all the time with me on an outdoor event. I have made ofcourse many pictures which you can find in my gallery, but since this was a something done for my daughter I will present you guys a picture of her here. The rest of the pictures u can find in the album CastleFest 2011 right here.
