Peppers!

Yesterday, my mother went out into her garden and started plucking out the peppers she planted and so far the garden is doing great! The peppers have bloomed and they look hot and spicy. I touched a little bit of it and it made my hand burn :(

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the peppers because I know once they are used in my meal I will enjoy them too...till I bite one and then have to start chugging cold water then I will wish they were not in my meal.

Sushi in Dallas!

Look, I love Dallas. Why? Because they have everything there and I simply can't get over their techno radio station. I love techno dance music and my friends make fun of me all the time because they hate it but here I go dance, dance the night away.Sometimes I dance by myself with my dogs and we just have a blast. Okay, back to the blog. While, I was in Dallas(restaurant is in Plano but anyhow) my cousin took me to a mom and pop sushi restaurant called Sushi Sakana which was simply amazing!

One thing I loved was their ginger salad dressing and the reason why I adored it is because of the color. It was a deep maroon color instead of the typical orange and it tasted so GREAT! I simply loved it!! On top of that the house salad I ordered 2 rolls and it was amazing. Yes, I forgot the names of the rolls that I ordered but either way it was yummy! If you are ever in the Dallas-Plano area you need to visit Sushi Sakana because that place is spectacular!

I also loved the way they designed the orange when they gave it to us right before we had our desert. Oh how I love to clean my palate right before desert!



For desert they had fried batter which covered vanilla ice cream and it was cut in pieces just like a sushi roll. Yummo!!

New Favorite Item: Wrigley's Extra

I have another confession to make to everyone. I'm an addict. I love gum. I'm all about chewing gum but one thing I hate is that the flavor never lasts longer than an hour. So the other day I see this pack of gum laying around and I decide to try it out. My brother also tried it out(he bought it) and he said he was in class for 3 hours and the gums taste didn't even wear off. Now this is my kind of chewing gum!


I tried this gum and sure enough my brother was right, even after 3 hours the flavor of the gum didn't wear out and to make it better the gum comes in the long silver wrappers like they use to back in the 90s. Ahhh the silver wrapper brings back many memories of being a child. Oh my, how I long for my Childhood.

P.S. Yes, that is the DVD Bandidas and yes that is Penelope Cruz. Those who are males and are viewing my blog can view a little eye-candy :)

Tomatoes!

Yesterday, when I was taking the Yorkies out to use the restroom I noticed my mothers garden was blooming. The tomatoes came out and I was jumping for joy. I ran inside and told my mother that the tomatoes came out and she has to come out to see it for herself . I immediately then grabbed a knife and went outside then stated grabbing the tomatoes. I even noticed that my mother planted a baby tomatoe plant and one baby tomatoe came out alive! After grabbing the tomatoes and washing them my mother then ate them and told me they taste so much better than the tomatoes out in the store. I wouldnt know because I don't like tomatoes.

All I know is that the Aztecs(who used tomatoes in their cooking and even believed that the seeds in the tomato would grant them god-like powers) would be proud of my mother for planting beautiful tomatoes!

Bday Dinner

Last week we went to celebrate my friend Kathy's birthday and we went to a restaurant called Rococos. I have a confession to make. My all time favorite food are hamburgers and french fries. If I'm craving one and if I'm at a all - star restaurant it doesn't matter to me what they have, if they have a burger I'll take it and chow it down like a Yorkie on its chew-stick. I simply loved this burger, sure it's not the best burger I ever had but it's pretty much up there. Of course I didn't add the tomatoes, if there is one thing I don't like in my burger it's tomatoes.

Happy Birthday Kitty Kat Kathy...

Mi Madre's Garden

When summer started my mother decided to create a garden. I had no idea what she planted till I went out to the garden yesterday to grab the veggies(Louis came along with me and it was fun playing "Wheres Louis" because I had no idea where he was when he stuck himself in the garden) and I had a blast.

I found out my mother planted Squash, Cucumber, Tomatoes(which were not ready to be plucked), Peppers, Okras, and some other green veggies which I don't know the name of but it looked pretty normal to cook and eat. I had fun picking the veggies out and being on the look out for garden snakes. I then realized garden snakes are not as bad as cobras so therefore I shouldn't be on the look out but I was paranoid because Louis was next to me and we all know how that yorkie is curious about everything and isn't scared of anything. Either way it was a blast and I would do it again in a heartbeat!


Here's to a fabulous summer garden and a great day celebrating America's Independence from King George III!

My Converse Shoes

Earlier this year I was watching Grindhouse DEATH PROOF by Quentin Tarantino and in the scene where Vanessa Ferlito is dancing you will see two girls in the background wearing Converse High-Top shoes. I immediately decided I need to have a pair because I barely see them around anymore! So then about a month ago, I custom made my shoes at Converse.com and I can say that I absolutely love these shoes!

As you all know I love pink(always have and always will) and I figured black would be the best color because it goes with any color out there and I could always wear it with anything.

As a kid growing up my mother use to call me Vavaa(Va- Vaa) and its a name she still calls me till this day. Sometimes she will tell my buddies to call me that but I get a little annoyed by it. Oh well, at the end of the day its my nick name and I'm OK with that!

When I was custom making my shoes, I saw that converse has a section where you can also include a custom ID and I choose Vavaa. The name that my mother uses for me as a nickname...which I adore.

I believe everyone should have a pair of shoes they custom made because at the end of the day it's definitely yours.
