Hello hello, what did you do over the weekend, were you bored out of your minds, did you go for a walk, did you exercise or just lazed around for two days?
I had several plans, but the one who covers a lot, does not have much pressure and when the situation does not depend only on me, I have to adapt. My daughter left on Friday afternoon with some friends, she hadn't slept away from home for a while, she was supposed to return on Saturday and she did it on Sunday. Things of youth, at least she warned me not to wait for her that day. When my mother found out, she started with her prehistoric grandmother speech, she has always been very attentive to my daughter, she is like her second mother, but there are things that she does not understand, does not accept and does not understand.
I had to tell her that Valeria will soon be 21 years old and we can no longer see her as a child. When she was little we overprotected her and that partly created her insecurity, now she wants to live by herself (for some things). There is a lot of trust between us and we talk very clearly about how things are, about the good and the not so good, about friendships and how influential they can be. I trust my daughter and if she makes a mistake, I will not judge her, I will be there to advise her.
Back to my weekend, Saturday after posting my entry #104 I went to my room to watch whatever show was on TV, most of the time I end up watching remodeling or home decorating, it's a subject I am passionate about and I dream of the day I can have my house like a magazine. I don't need much because I like minimalism. My husband was working, as during the week we were doing a little bit of everything, including meeting his newborn nephew on Wednesday, an emergency dental appointment for me and other things, so he was behind with his responsibilities.
In the afternoon I made a pumpkin pie, I was craving it and bought the missing ingredients to make it. I like the quesillo type (Venezuelan dessert prepared in a blender with condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, rum if you like, and sugar for the caramel), which does not have much wheat flour and is soft like a pudding or flan, you can also make a syrup (I did it to give it more flavor). Then I remembered that it is also good to add raisins, but it was too late to do it, I should have bought in advance. I let it cool and chopped some to taste... Uhmm a real treat. I reserved a portion for my neighbor before finishing it all.
When my husband was free he asked me what I wanted to do (without leaving the house), all I said was that I didn't want to go back to the kitchen and he got the message. We started to check the sales group of the urbanization to know what surprises they would have that day, they offered Chinese food, hamburgers, cakes, chocolate marquesas, cake, tres leches, ice cream, different types of breads, but nothing caught our attention. Then I suggested ordering a pepperoni pizza by delivery service. Yessss
After a while we received our order, we enjoyed the pizza from the comfort of the bed with a movie, it was delicious. It was our first pizza at that restaurant and we were really pleased. Then it started to rain, another reason not to get out of bed, we needed some rest.
The rain continued into the early morning, then on Sunday morning the sun tried to come out, however, the clouds got the better of us. I did not turn on the computer that day. The rain was intermittent. I prepared baked fish for lunch, here that fish is called Roncador and I accompanied it with potatoes and salad. In the afternoon the rain was more intense and it was time for a snack, pumpkin cake with coffee with milk and chocolate (mocaccino type). Ohhh what good hands I have for cooking, ha, ha, ha, ha, if I don't give myself courage, nobody else will
At dinner my husband made cereal with milk, which we ate again from bed.
That was my weekend, I could say relaxing, we don't always go out and we enjoy these stays very much.
P.S. For next Saturday is planned a breakfast with three very talented girls from the platform, for me it would be the first face-to-face meeting with some of my hive mates. I will not reveal their identity until it happens ha, ha, ha, ha. The menu to taste will be Venezuelan empanada made with precooked corn flour dough (the same as arepas) with different fillings such as cheese, ham, chorizo, chicken, meat, sausage, fish, seafood, beans and everything you can think of, then close it and fry it in plenty of oil, they are crispy.
It's time to say goodbye, but first let me wish you good energy 💞
