Copán

So we went to go see a pile of ruins-I mean the Mayan ruins and it was cool. What I understood... Let me explain-there was a school trip with the 10th and 11th graders and the missionaries were allowed to go.

Diva-licious

Did my toe-nails today and man! It feels like I'm walking on sun-shine! There's just something about red on my toes that just lifts my spirits!
Just to make it a little more fancy I added some strategically placed dots..it's gonna be a good week ya'll! :D

Quotes time! :D

I'm feeling kind of wise today so here are some quotes I like:
 
Love is a fire. But whether it is going to warm your hearth or burn down your house, you can never tell.

Joan Crawford

When the only tool you own is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
Abraham Maslow  

Do not confuse motion and progress. A rocking horse keeps moving but does not make any progress.
—Alfred A. Montapert

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.
—Winston Churchill

CASHEW FRUIT??!!!!

That's right folks! Cashew has a fruit! The first time I saw/touched it I was so freaked out I screamed! Wat?! No-one could tell me what it was and it felt soft and disgusting-the smell-terrible! I thought it was some kind of bird claw-lol!The girls tried all they could to make the juice taste good but I'm sensitive to smells so there was no way I was going to try it! ....and they still didn't know what it was. Entonces! .However, one of the teachers cooked up the flesh and was walking around the teacher's lounge parading it! It looked and tasted good! Obviously I thought to myself "I must try this!" I then went out and bought some-and to be honest the smell of feel didn't bother me this time-lol!

 The fruit in the bandera-this is a funny word (it means both package and flag!) It looks harm-less here until you touch and smell it lol!

 Up close! It really does look like a a bird claw!

 So this is the whole operation: cut the fruit into chunks, blend it with water, strain to get the juice (haven't gotten around to drinking that yet-1 week later!) and dump the trash into the green thing.

 The fruit pulp. Still not bothered by the sent surprisingly!

 After you separate the claw (lol!) apparently you can dig into here to get the actual nut (haven't gotten around to that yet either-will update later!)

The most exciting part! Sweet pepper, onion, and tomatoes fried together then add the pulp. 

 After adding some more seasoning like salt etc. I got Em to taste it....she looks kinda scared! She's a brave girl! She's got her cowgirl hat on!

 Chewing...

 Not bad! That's the second spoonful! We have a winner! And I didn't even taste YAY!

 The finished result!!!

Que Rico!
