lazy sundays :)

I have not blog for a while dunno why i guess im just being lazy he he .. I have made a promise to myself to try write everyday for a while as I ahve some stuff on my mind I need to figure out !

In my world today

I arrived today in the back door after receiving a link which was a blog about video machinima a way to capture animated virtual reality worlds , in which I live at least some of my life ^^ I was greeted with a lovely comment from a lady I bumped into here one late night when I could not sleep ... we were both having a long night ;)I like this blog and I want to continue keep my diary so that when my son is older he can read it :)
here are some pics of my 3d virtual garden that I am building at the moment in secondlife xx namaste Kitti

Dick

Catch up ^^

its been some time since I have written my blog :) there are few reasons to be honest .. firstly the death of my mother caused much change and emotion for a long while .. comming to terms with this stage of my life has not been an easy one <3 I have battled depression and meloncholy ..winning some time others not :) above is my lil pup Zakk who is 3 months old now :) also another lil arrival <3 Dick my baby duck who is still living in my kitchen heheh , he is 4 weeks old now :)

Joyce Kilmer (1886-1918)
THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree <3

RETURN TO PLANET EARTH ! FOR SOUP ^^ ;)

I LOVE ROSE PETALS ^^ <3

TODAY I PICKED SOME ROSES FROM MY GARDEN :)
AND MADE SOUP ;)

I'm back I think he he !
what a weekend ! lol

so I'm making SOUP @@ !

This is my own recipe !

self thought and proud !

Carrot and Veg Soup !
You can see from the bowl that carrot is your main ingredient !

although I have also added some of what I have in my fridge today !

The trick is to have at least 5 times more carrot ! than anything else ...and just use what you have ! soup should be simple ! hot and tasty ;)

Added today , one leek , one celery stick, bunch broccoli, slice of turnip, shake of chili flakes !

and for garnish , asparagus !

The method is simple ^^

saute veg for a couple mins with some olive oil ! add some chili flakes at this point ;)

Next add one pint of chicken stock , then one pint of veg stock !





bring all to boil !

simmer untill veg is tender..

blend all and transfer to bowl ...

wash your soup pot and return blended soup and bring back to the boil !

this soup does not need any more seasoning !





garnish option , !

saute asparagus chopped up !

sprinkle on top of veg soup before serving ;)

enjoy !

PS: great booster when your hungover ! or have been ill x
