What's up?

I was a guest post at Or So She Says... I did a post about miscarriage, go check it out!

********************************************************

A lot of things have been going on here, our year at Los Cacaos is over, and we moved back to the city, it was a bittersweet moment, everyone cried, nobody wanted us to leave and neither did we; but we have to start a new chapter in our lifes preparing ourselves for next year (applying for a residence program).
There is so many things I am going to miss...

...specially the people, we were really treated as family there.

I am grateful for the time we spent at Los Cacaos, all the beatiful people that lives there and all the things we learned. We promised we will always go visit!

Back in the city I am looking for a job and place to live, so wish us luck in this new chapter of our lifes!

Mother's Day

It's Mother's Day here in DR, so I want to say Happy Mother's Day to all my readers, the ones that have children, the ones that have lost theirs and the ones that are looking for them!
Bayo's birthday is always close to the last sunday of May, so every year after Mother's Day lunch, we sing Happy Birthday to my sweet Hubby :) It's a tradition even if it doesnt fall on the exact same date!

I was to lazy to find 2008 and 2009 :p

The last 3 years the cake has look the same way, we love cake from that place, so why change it!

FFF- U pick

This picture was not taken this week, but since today is my sweet hubby's birthday, I get to share him with you :)

Sorry but he is taken!

Happy Birthday, you are my gift from above, I love you!

FFF- That's what friends are for...

To go on tree climbing adventures...

To look up to...

To teach you cool stuff...

To make fun of you...

To play dress up...

To laugh with...

I have blogged before about my friends, the ones I acquire through my life; but this post is dedicated to the one I was born with, and the one I truly love the most: my big sister!

I love you sis...

Tu enana :)

Vote

It's election day here in DR, not the presidential, just the one for the senators and mayors, it was a huge deal because since they want to put the presidentials and this one together next time so the ones elected today will stay for 6 years instead of 4.

I was lucky that were I vote there werent many people so I just went in and out :)

Here they paint your finger with ink after you vote!

Do they do that in any other country?

I just went back home after that and relaxed :)

Good day!

Today was one of those great do nothing at all kind of day and I loved it :)
We spend all day eating blondies, and not because we had leftovers, but because we liked them so much I decided we NEEDED more, yes needed!
And we dont have leftovers today either :/

I also spend all day looking for complete movies on YouTube, and watched a couple of them and then I found this:
OMG childhood memories kept floating my head as I watched it, it is COMPLETE in YouTube. So go watch it, if you liked it when you were little you will love it even more now, I know I did :)
Also great to show your children if you have little ones.

I {HEART} Baking- Mecho's Hair Salon Blondies

Since I am on vacation, I {HEART} Cooking and Baking is back, ohhh how I miss baking!!!

Before I give you the recipe here is a little story about it:

When my sister and I where little... Insert embarasing childhood picture... DONE

Dear Big Sister, I just posted a picture of you on my blog, why? because I can, THAT is why!

Ok, lets go on... so when we where little we used to go with my mom to the hair salon (Mecho's), and one lady there used to sell the best blondies EVER!

Back in those day I had no clue the name was blondie so I just called them white brownies.

I've been experimenting to find the recipe of those blondies and today, because of lack of ingredients I found it, so here it is.

Ingredients

-1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil

-1 tablespoon of milk

-1 cup of brown sugar

-1 egg

-1 cup of flour

-1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

-1/4 teaspoon of salt

-1 teaspoon of vanilla essence

-1 teaspoon of almond extract

-2 tablespoons of chopped nuts (your choice of nuts and optional)

Just mix all of the ingredients and pour on a greased pan (the batter will look weird so dont worry about it.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Allow to cool before you unmold and enjoy!!!

Notes: do not change the ingredients if you want to get it right, this are chewy, crusty and just perfect!
