WHY??

I live in the Dominican Republic a beautiful island in the Caribbean, wish means I get the "good weather", remember?

And if you dont belive me, check this out: Because of its almost year-round warmth and sunshine, some people refer to the Dominican Republic's climate as"endless summer."

You see, since we have such "nice" weather we only buy a washer, no dryer -what for if we have the beautiful sun to dry our clothes!?

We just hang them outside and they dry so fast and with a nice smell :D

But this only happens if I'm NOT doing my laundry, because EVERYTIME I do, for some reason it rains, it is a given fact that if I decide to wash our clothes it will rain! The weather folks here in DR should hire me!

So this is how my house looks today....

Yep, my already dry clothes got wet when out of the blue it started raining, I had to carry them all in, get wet with the bad cold I have and "hang" them inside... why? because even on the sunniest day it rains (if I'm doing laundry OF COURSE!).

Blog break? NOT really!

The reason for my lack of post lately is that I've been down with a horrible cold :( I've done everything for it and still one week later I still have it!
And dont even get me started in the horrible things coming out of my nose (OK, too much info, right?).
Anyways I will be back to my usual self in no time, I HOPE!

FFF- Cold?!?

Well... NOT REALLY!!!


We live in the caribbean and it is never cold here!

Or at least what we think is cold is not cold really, does that even makes sense?

To explain myself a little better will you belive it was actually cold on this picture?

For us it was!! look at the tiny rain spot on Bayo's shirt :p

We love our "good" weather all year long, but sometimes we just wish we could have a little cold weather once in a while because it gets REALLY hot here!!

And to keep up with my retro pictures and the ACTUAL Favorite Foto Friday's theme... here is an old pic of me, in the cold NY winter eating a WHAT?! ICECREAM?!

I know... I was weird :p

Around the Blog World... I {HEART} Cooking

I follow a couple of blogs, and one that I do posted a recipe that brought a BIG smile to my face :) Dominican Rice and Beans (the girl is not Dominican wich gave me an even bigger smile), this is a dish we eat EVERYDAY, not me, but Dominicans in general -I used to back at home when I was little- and I love doing it once in a while for Bayo, for us is nothing special, but when you havent eaten it in month you miss it like CRAZY :p
If you want to try it out go here, and she also has some other great recipes for $5 or under!!!

Happy 3 King Day

I know that not all the countries celebrate it, but today is the day we commemorate when the Three kings visited the newly born Christ Child in Bethlehem bearing him gifts. This is an important day here and the 3 Kings will visit every good child to deliver them gifts. Children collect grass and place it in boxes or containers under their beds for the cammels.

Happy Three Kings Day!!!

FFF- Favorite Foto

This week Favorite Foto Friday is to post your Favorite Picture from 2008.

I posted this picture because I love how the sun is hitting our face :p plus it really shows how happy we are together :)
