Christian Dior. 

I'm feeling the orange ones. 

but these are just as fun. 

and this adorable dress. 

a bit on the safe side, but nonetheless. 

easy to saSs up with accessories or shoes such as the ones above, in the appropriate color that is.

in the process, i discovered eShakti

warm washcloths and a puddle of tears

when i was a little girl, my mom used to bring warm washcloths to my bed to wash my face.

she was the one who i could call at any hour of any day.. . with happy news, or sad. 

the person who reassured me that no matter what everything would be ok. 

that she loved me more than i could imagine. 

that she was behind me in everything and never ever would leave.

it's beyond sad how things have ended. 

sitting here in a puddle of my sad tears, i have to remind myself of her words and her love. 

she is no longer here,
but those will remain with me. forever. 

notes without words

some songs don't need words.

.lyrics. to say something or tell the story. 

it's all in the beauty of the music.

.the notes weaving in and out of the melody.

makes me wish i never stopped practicing the piano.

Halloumi Chili Hash

I finally stumbled upon Halloumi cheese @ Trader Joe's last week. I've been searching for it ever since I had it at my sister's. - Easily on the top ten best things i've ever eaten. and it's just plain cheese, you ask?? ? plain!? just wait til it hits your lips.

Tonight, i decided to make myself a bowl of what i now have entitled 'Halloumi Chili Hash'. The ingredients are somewhat self explanatory.. but i added a couple of extras.

* chili - i bought mine from Kings [way too sweet - note to self: next time     

   homemade needed.]

* handful of fresh baby spinach on the top

* several pan fried chunks of halloumi .. .dark and crispy goodness on all sides

* a good solid hunk of corn bread saddling the side of the bowl

   and to top it all off.. . 

* a spoonful of sour cream

 To drink. . well, an ice cold beer of course?!

  enjoy.

*i ate it too fast to flash a picture.. . . in the meantime, make your own and send your comments this way.

I've attached another divine Halloumi recipe HERE. 

you WILL be addicted to this stuff, i promise.
