Justin and I live down the road from the cutest family pub. It is very artsy, warm and the food is wonderful!! Our friends joined us tonight out on the Iffley Village town. It was in the 30's outside but I love nights like that. Walking down the Fall leaf laden road while chatting with friends. I am going to miss nights like this... They have all been such a blessing in our life. Thank you friends for loving us and supporting us through the good and tough times this past year.

Time Flies when your having a BLAST!!

2010-10-16T13:00:00.006+01:00

I can't believe a year ago today Justin was matriculating into The University of Oxford. It's a right of passage and a long time tradition the school has been doing for hundreds of years. Man time flies!! It seems just like yesterday. That was the first day I met Kelli, Matteo, Katia and Georgie!! Such wonderful friends we have been blessed to have ♥ We are going to miss you all SO MUCH!!

We'll Be Home For Christmas!

2010-10-15T14:09:00.008+01:00

Yes, Justin and I are moving back to Florida. Justin has received his Masters here in Oxford and we are going back to the States to pursue funding for a PhD. The Estradas have graciously offered us a roof over our heads till we can get our feet on the ground and figure things out school wise. They have been so very good to us and supportive during this time of transition. So thank you Mom and Dad Estrada for showing Christ's love to us. It will be nice to see my mom and sisters. We have not seen them in over a year. Can't wait to see you all and so happy we get to spend Thanksgiving and Christmas with the Fam!

Let the good times roll!!

Apple Puff Pie.

2010-09-05T15:26:00.005+01:00

We have a couple apple trees on our property. So I picked some to bake with. They are crisp and a little on the tart side. They are perfect for tarts, pies, and apple sauce.

How I made it:

1 square puff pastry

3 apples cut med/thin

Butter for spreading over the pastry

Cinnamon

Brown Sugar

Flower for dusting counter top when rolling it out

I dusted the counter top with flower then I rolled out the puff pastry till it was large and cut it into two pieces. One side for the bottom and the other for the top.

Placed it in the pie dish and scrunched the access pastry down on to the sides.

I spread butter all over the pastry.

Next I laid all the apples in a circle flat till the whole bottom was covered.

Sprinkled a cup of brown sugar on top evenly

Sprinkled cinnamon all over.

Add little pieces of butter on top evenly.

Then place the top pastry on and any access pastry I laid around the edges of the pie.

You can never have too much puff pastry, LOL!

Put it in the preheated oven at 350 for 30min or until brown.

Fall Treats...

2010-09-04T18:58:00.006+01:00

I am in the Fall spirit and loving making tons of treats for my husband. He is loving it and I am having a fun time making them all. So today I made, chocolate, peanut butter Rice Krispies treats. They are so good!! I can't wait to see what I make next!!

2-3 big spoon's of peanut butter,
1 bag of chocolate chips,
1/2 stick of butter,
1 bag of large marshmallows

1 box of plain Rice Krispies

Melt the first 3 ingredients on med/low heat, then add the marshmallows. Let them slowly melt.
After the marshmallow has melted add the box of Rice Krispies.
mix till all coated then pour into two square baking dishes. I put aluminum down first.

Press the mixture down and let cool off and yummy in your tummy time!

It takes like 10 min all together.

Lake District Waterfall

2010-08-07T22:45:00.024+01:00

Needless to say... The Lake District was beautiful. Here is just a handful of the million photos I took. Everything was so green and lush. Little beautiful mushrooms growing everywhere. I felt like I was in fairy land. I did not want to come home. I had such a wonderful time with Justin, Cath and Alan. I got to go for a ride in a row boat with Justin at the helm. I got to climb a waterfall, climb a mountain (Catbells) P.S. that is where Miss. Tiggywinkle lives. I got to sit and have tea at Beatrix Potters tea room. Oh and did I mention that the house we stayed at was an old victorian home, that Beatrix Potter would stay at on Holidays and wrote, Miss Tiggywinkle, Squirrel Nutkin, and Tom Kitten. It was so nostalgic to wake up in the home of where my favorite childhood stories were written. I felt my grandmother with me and wish she could have been there with me to experience it all... She use to read those stories to me as a small child. I miss her so much and wish she could have met Justin... It was a beautiful trip and am blessed that Cath thought of us to go with her. Thank you Cath... It meant a lot to us.

Cath and Alan walking to the waterfall.

Beautiful waterfall. It was dark under all the trees and a overcast day. Wish I could have gotten a brighter photo for you all.

Go Justin go!!

Sheep walking down the road.

The deer in the garden. She was beautiful. She was eating flowers, then little children came running up the path and scared her off.

Baby Bird Yesterday.

2010-05-31T13:19:00.004+01:00

This is the baby bird that fell out of the tree yesterday and was in the middle of the road . So I took it home and Justin read on what we should do. It said if it can sit on your finger, it is a fledgling, and that mom will continue to take care of the baby on the ground. So I took it back and put it on the wall next to the tree that I think it came from and he hopped on the branch and called for the mother and she came. I learned a lot about birds yesterday!! We named him Sammy.

Then a package of raw chopped chicken. let it cook some. then add a cup of Chicken stock, two table spoons of fish sauce, A can of Coconut milk.( Shake before opening) hand full of chopped coriander. One table spoon of dark soy sauce. Two table spoons of butter, A dash of sugar, One whole zest of Lime and the lime juice. Then add a stick of Limon grass, smash the end of it ( thin side) to let the flavors out and stir the soup with it. Then just let it sit in there and simmer. Take out before serving.

Put more Fresh Coriander on top when serving. YUMMY!!

Serves two.

For more Just double the chicken, coconut milk and butter.

Deer in the Garden

2010-05-19T21:26:00.012+01:00

Okay, so yesterday I went out to take some shots in the garden, and lo-and Behold there was a deer! Poor little thing was trapped inside Court Place Gardens. I am sure Justin and I following it did not help, but I had to get some shots of him. He was so cute!! Really little and funny markings. the photos are a bit blurry, but I don't have a long range lens yet. But I did my best for you. I did manage to get some shots of flowers as well.

4 years Married on May-20th!!

2010-05-19T13:23:00.008+01:00

Justin and I have had quite a ride for the last four years of our marriage. It has been such a blessing having the love and support of the other. The Lord has put many obstacles in our path and has strengthened us through it all. Being married to my best friend has been so wonderful and such a gift from God. We can't wait for the rest of our lives together and the adventures to come :)
