Shrimp & Pork Chops

Didn't think I would say it out loud but the pork eating and barbecuing I had when I went back home for Christmas kindah affected me when I came back Vancouver. For the past four months I didn't have pork chops so last Friday I decided to go back and have my tasty meal. 

Grilled myself a tasty pork chop,coconut shrimp sauce, brown rice and tomato and red pepper salad. 

Enjoyed my colourful meal

I'm more of having a colorful meal as this just pushes me to try out what I'm looking at.I made sure I had everything of everything (my protein, carbohydrates and veggies).

Sunday Best

Weekend waas so relaxed after the Friday night sleepover. The gloomy weather on Sat didn't help that much so I pretty much spent the whole day indoors.Sunday was different altogether as it was a bit on the warm side .

 Sunday sermon was good too.Message was Stop Complaining and wait for God to work on his own time for He has bigger plans for us. Pastor went on to give an example of how he sent people to go see the promised Land but some came back complaining and those that did not complain were the ones who managed to set foot into the Promised Land and stay there. The land where there is Milk and Honey.

 Less complaining and more living each day and being Thankful for everything.

30 Day Photography Challenge : D.I.Y Cow Scarf

Have been meaning to learn how to crotchet for the longest and I finally got down to doing it. My first project was working on a cow scarf as I had to master how to use the crotchet. I took to youtube so I could pick up a pattern or so and I loved this one but have since forgotten the name of this pattern.

 This took longer than anticipated as I was juggling school and work and other stuff at the same time.

 The finishing part wasn't that difficult too as I came up with my own way to do it so one does not see where the scarf starts and ends. And it will definitely keep one warm as I used the thick wool.

Tell me What do you think about my first crotcheted cow scarf.

30 Day Photo Challenge:Nighttime

Was out downtown hanging out with friends for a couple of hours and just loved how the store lights,night lights were illuminating in the busy street while everyone went about their business,shopping,strolling or rushing home to relax after a hard day at work.

 The pics are from one of the busiest streets in Vancouver and this is the same street that has most of the clubs .

I just love the different color loghts each building has and how they all blend in when it is nighttime.
