Fun Night

image

Tonight, we decided to have ourselves a movie night.  We rented The Tooth Fairy, got some yummy snacks and a bottle of passion fruit wine.  We also decided to crack open a nice bottle of champagne that my husband had received a while back. 

We were saving the champagne for something special.  What could be more special then to spend the night with the family and celebrate that my husband already has an interview for a summer internship and classes haven’t even started.

Yummy Korean Feast

On Monday (June 7th, 2010), my mom invited some of her Korean friends over so they could help her prepare some yummy land crabs (also known as blue crabs)

This is how everything turned out after they were done!

Have you ever tried Korean food?

Do you like eating crabs?

What happens after visiting Korean Church?

DSCF3231

Today we went to Korean church with my mom and youngest sister.  After the service they always have the most delicious Korean dishes-forgot to take my camera with me.

On the way home, my son fell asleep as well as my husband.  When we arrived home, we didn’t want our son to wake up so my husband just took the baby out of the car along with the car seat.  Needless to say, my son did not wake up and my husband decided to continue his nap.

Blizz

Yesterday (Saturday, June 5th, 2010) my husband, son, mom, sister and I went shopping at Plaza las Americas, the biggest shopping center in the Caribbean.  It’s located approximately an hour and fifeen minutes east from where we live.

 

imageAfter leaving the mall we headed towards Old San Juan to get our favorite treat.  As you can see we got some yummy frozen yogurt from Blizz!

My sister got raspberry frozen yogurt with almonds, strawberries and blackberries.  I got the original flavor with white chocolate chips, strawberries and mango.

This is the best frozen yogurt I have ever had!  I would compare it it to Pinkberry’s frozen yogurt.

What frozen yogurt chains are in your area?

Snack: A Healthy Alternative

Last night I was craving something sweet but I didn’t want to indulge my sweet tooth by eating ice cream or cake.

Instead, I opted for a sweet, healthy concoction.

Campoverde Jumbo Strawberries are ideal for smoothies and shakes.

100% all natural, no sugar, preservatives or additives of any kind!

I love strawberries!

Milk helps keep bones and teeth healthy and strong!

I prefer to drink light milk.

Take a couple of the frozen strawberries and some milk and throw them in your blender. 

If you like your smoothies more on the creamy side make sure to add extra strawberries. 

If you prefer your smoothie to be more liquidy then add more milk.

Add your sweetener of choice if you like really sweet things

When you’re done mixing, pour into the glasses of your preference!

Enjoy by eating with a spoon or drinking it with a straw.

To make your smoothies even more appetizing top them with bite size strawberry pieces.

What kind of smoothies do you like?

I did my nails last night and as you can see I kept them quite simple.  I’m not really one to use bubblegum pinks but I thought I’d give it a try to see if I could channel my inner girly girl, LOL.  I think this is a really cute color to showoff during the summer. I thought I’d make my nails more girly by adding a cute flower design on the ring finger.
