My kids have been to two rockstar-themed parties in a span of six months and now my daughter who is turning seven next year wants to have a rockstar-themed party too. I am quite on the fence on what to do with her party since I am more keen on getting her on a trip. But the pegs above are great for a Martha Stewart DIY party – Daisy Rock Guitars can adorn and be present on decorations!
I am so proud of my friend! She has lost 12 lbs and counting and she did this the natural way! She knew the side effects of weight loss pills so she tried hard to do a combination of diet and exercise.
What she did was detox herself by juicing vegetables. She did this for five days and then from then until now only eats vegetables and fish. She also walks almost everyday. The best part of it all is that she is doing it together with her husband who has lost more pounds than her.
I know paella is a traditional Spanish recipe but since we were under the Spaniards for centuries we are heavily influenced by Spanish cooking. Paella is a many-a-family’s favorite dish to serve in special occasions that it holds true for my family as well. I do not know how to cook and prepare the dish like I do not know to clean hot tub cover but I discovered this recipe that I want to try the soonest:
Ingredients:
½ lbs cuttlefish
½ lbs calamari (squid)
8 big jumbo shrimp
4 spiny lobsters, crayfish or smaller lobsters
12 fresh mussels
2-3 fresh oysters
1 tablespoon of sweet paprika
Olive oil
8 tablespoons of tomatoes, cut into pieces
Saffron
2 ½ cups of rice
2-3 garlic cloves
1 – 1 ½ liters of fish soup
Directions
The fish soup is ideally to be prepared at home, using the head and tail of a fish, some onion, laurel, salt and one tomato. Calamari and cuttlefish are cut into pieces.
Give the oil into a pan and warm it. Add the shrimp and crayfish and fry them for 2 – 3 minutes. Set them aside afterwards. In the very same oil fry the cuttlefish and the calamari (squid). When they turn golden add the tomatoes and the minced garlic. Let them fry until they become darker. After that add the paprika, stir everything and add the rice.
Stir very well for one minute, pour the warm fish soup over it and add another clove of minced garlic.
Let the rice at medium to high heat. After some 10 minutes add the shrimp and crayfish, the mussels and the oysters. Let them cook for another 5 minutes.
Tips
When the rice is ready remove it from the heat and let the rice breath for at least 2-3 minutes until you serve it!
