Lazy weekend

I spent my weekend at Gabriel's home. We watch some bad horror movies and a bunch of series that we love: Vampire Diaries, Ringer, Community and Big Bang Theory... we let it accumulate until it's Saturday, so we can watch it together. Yay. I took those photos at his building lobby. When we are in the way to buy snacks and sweets to eat while we watching.

Oh shoes!

My shoes wishlist...

 I don't feel like wrinting too much today, I'm a little tired and sleepy. I wish I have good news to share with you guys. Here in my town it's raining a lot and winter is starting early. My cousin's wedding is in May, and we need to go out and buy a dress, but with all this rain is getting hard to find courage to leave the house. Why am I so lazy? I always need a motivation, maybe Gabriel can help, giving me a reason to leave the house.

So long wait for Wednesday food

The 2011 last months and the early 2012 months are a complicated, busy and hard ones for me. My grandma almost past away, my cousin's daughter, born at 34 weeks, her tiny lungs struggled to get the oxygen her brain and body needed, but now she is fine and at home with her family. My niece is being bullied at school by a boy, and at ballet class by her teacher. And that was the reason I didn't upload for so long. Despites of all problems, my life is full of joy and love. Gabriel are always by my side, supporting me, helping me in everythng I need. Sometimes I wanna thank him for his love and everything he's done for me, and my way to do that is cooking - very masterchef of me, not really - and thank goodness, he truly appreciate my cooking. This time I made a lettuce salad and rice with carrot and condiments.

For the salad:

1 small romaice lettuce heart, torn

1 small mesclun lettuce, torn

mizuna leaves, to adorn

½ small onion, peeled picked and boiled

1 tomato, picked

basil leaves, picked

For the seasoning:

2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed

60ml apple vinegar

90ml olive oil

salt and black pepper

In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, vinegar and oil, then stir in three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt and some black pepper. Toss the salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add the dressing, toss again gently, taste for seasoning, adorn with the mizuna lettuce leaves and serve. Or you can serve them separately, if you prefere.

For the rice:

I did 2 cups of rice in 400ml of water, and cooked with grated carrot, picked basil and curry, salt and garlic paste.

For the beans:
I cooked 100g of beans in 300ml of water, with salt and garlic paste. The brazilian way to do beans.

Fly like an angel

Well, today is thanksgiving there, and you guys will be celebrating but I'll celebrate something important too because tomorrow is my birthday. YAY. However sunday is the test I was studying for. I'm so excited for my birthday, but I'm a little anxious because of the test. The test will be in my hometown, and I'll be with my family over the weekend, which is great, as it will help me get rid of stress. I'm happy because I can eat Grandma's food and give her lots of hugs and kisses.

The tale of two buffys

I'm watching a new series called Ringer and I love it. Besides the intriguing story line. The best of the series are the clothes, accessories, make up and hairstyles of the main character, Shioban, played by Sarah Michelle Gellar. I took some prints to show here a few of the costumes worn by the character.

Brasilia Skies

Gabriel and I went to my hometown, Brasília .DC to spend some quality time with my family. It was Carnival, a national holiday. I do not enjoy the samba festivals and carnival parties, but of course I like the holiday because of the days off, for tripping and resting, in the company of my boyfriend. My aunt took us to a little tourist ride because was Gabriel first time at the capital, right after our plane landed we go to the Esplanada to visit and see the Cathedral, the tower, the Congress, etc. The weather did not decided it was rainy, cloudy or sunny.  On Sundays around the Brasília tower has a fair, with furniture, clothes, crafts and of course, lots of food.
