Long week

Hello,

I hope everyone is doing great!! ... I am tired, and I am ready to take a long rest. my week has being so long that I cannot keep my self up anymore. But, I need to finish friday before I get my rest. I have being so busy and under so much stress that sometimes I just want to give up! but, I can't.... hopefully next week will be more possitive and more relax..... I cannot have another week like this for now. I am not a coffie drinker but I have been drinking coffie every day. I cannot believe it. in the past if I drink coffie it was 2 times a year. but that is history!! ... I had to do it to keep myself awake.....

I have being so busy that I do not know what I will be baking this time ... but I will check my recipe and I will post it on the weekend.

Have a nice weekend!! :)

Recipe 5: Baked chicken drumsticks

There is no special secret for this recipe. It is simple and delicious!! You just need to combine all the powder seasonings you have in your kitchen including: some Italian salad dressing, apple vinegar mustard, and garlic (I prefer fresh garlic). In other words a little bit of this, a little bit of that.

I like the oven temperature at 460 until the chicken has a nice color. Then you can lower the temperature to 400 until the drumsticks are cooked.

The high temperature helps the chicken to get a nice color. Also, seal the outside to maintain the moist inside the chicken.

I hope you like it because I really did!

Hello!

I am glad that you like my baking post. Now, I decided that I will do something healthier. Therefore, I will make a Bean and Corn salad. It is really good!! and each time I make it, It is a totally success. This time I will not write the ingredients amounts because I got it from a classmate and he didn't give me the measurements. So, we will do our best estimate! depending on how much you like the ingredents. You can not go wrong with this recipe! ...
As I always do I will post my dish picture and ingridients on the weekend!

Hello,

It has being a long week for me because on Monday I started the week with a neck and shoulder pain. The pain was so bad that I felt stiff. I had bad nights and no pain medication was the solution for my pain. But today I feel much better.

I enjoy hiking, last summer  I did it every weekend until the weather got too cold for me. When I started hiking at the Crowder Mauntain I did it by myself. Then, through my stepmother I met Charles he was hiking at the same mountain by himself for a long time and I was just starting to hike. So I said maybe he will be my firt hiking friend and I asked him if he wanted to hike with me on the following weekend and he agreed. He thought I was not going enjoy the some of the trails because they had a lot of rocks, but too me  the difficult the better. It was like a challenge to me.  Because I was  fast when we were hiking he started to call me the champ and and I called him the champ assistant. It was funny that on the fist day we had to get through some big rocks in order to continue the trail. So he said "Do you need help" and I respond no, if I need it I will let you know!! and he said ok champ!. It was the fist day hiking with him and to me he was still a stranger, but he knew my stepmother and it was a plus for me. So, each weekend we hiked we became good friends. He was a nice person all the time. I say he was because he passed away last Sunday. It is so sad! I still don't know what really happened, but I think it was depression from what I can hear.  Rest in peace Charles! you will always be the champ assistant!

Now, for my recipe number three I do not know what I will bake. It has being a long week for me. However, I will try to find something good for my family to taste and to share with you all.

Thank you!
