Shopping with the girls, Tortilla Soup, Pumpkin Bread, and Missing Samantha Oliverio

So my past two days have been completely relaxing and much needed. I slept in really late, and went to Tesco and Asda on the search for my cider that I love again. This time I succeeded. Britleigh, Stacy and Jordan went with me. It was a good time, and I got lots of goodies. Then I laid around with Scott and watched movies til I fell asleep. All in all, a really nice day.

Today, I didn't sleep in as late, and pretty much didn't leave the house at all and became a really lazy human being. Scott and I did walk down the street to the british grocery store to get a few spices I needed for my pumpkin bread, and ended up leaving with a whole bunch of other stuff. We always do that. I even got some potato waffles that I had in Scotland that I LOVED! Along with the yogurt I had in Scotland as well. So I made some tortilla soup and it was really tasty. I took pictures of it gradually as I was cooking it. Turned out really good for experimenting with it. I always love to cook new things and experiment. I don't like the whole repetitive meal deal. New stuff all the time is nice. Especially if someone in the household is willing to do it. (:

Basically you just cut up some corn tortillas, it's preferred for them to be a little dried out but they don't have to be, and then you cut them up into tiny strips, and put them on a baking sheet in the oven for about 10 minutes at 200 degrees.Then take them out and fry them in oil. After doing so, keep them on a paper towel to she side. Add a medium chopped onion to the oil and fry it for about 2 minutes. Then add a jalepeno, I add a whole one chopped up, seeded. And two spoonfulls of minced garlic. Let that saute for a few minutes, and then add 4 cups of chicken broth/stock. And one can of diced tomatoes. And 1/4 tsp of sea salt. You can add shredded chicken if you want to. I did, just cooked it up seperately and then added it at the end. Put the heat on low and let it cook for about 15 minutes and then you're all done. Just add shredded cheese and your tortilla strips on top. It really was a really yummy meal.

I also made some pumpkin bread, 3 little baby ones, and 1 big one. It's confirmed to be probably one of my favorite things that I have made. It's really yummy, and I probably am going to eat all 4 loaves within a week. Hello extra five pounds that are soon to be on my love handle area.

You are more than welcome to come over and eat this bread with me though. (: I will probably be making some more, very very soon. I'm on a baking kick right now. And on monday, I burnt my finger severely. I have pictures but it doesn't look like much. But oh it was. Ruined my whole night. I had to hold a frozen thing of orange juice concentrate on it all night just so I could sleep. It was very terrible.

So I may have some free time in my future and it will then be my goal to break down this computer/storage room, and organize it. It needs it, and I wish I had somewhere to store my boxes of decorations and whatnot. Or I wish atleast all the boxes were matching ones. Haha is that weird? I'm kind of ocd about it but I just don't let it get to me. One day though, I am buying all matching plastic bins to put everything in. Then everything can be cute, and somewhat organized looking. I might even torture Scott and make them pink plastic containers. When I went to Tesco I bought a hot pink bottle of febreze. It's amazing, and I love it. If it wasn't for Scott, I'd take after Sarah Madden and make my whole kitchen pink. I don't think i'd stop there though. I just love pink, and I would embrace that color as much as possible. I'm such a girl, geeze. I'm really curious what Samantha and I's apartment would've turned out to be like if I didn't go and get myself married. Who knows what level we would've taken the pink and cheetah to. It would have been beautiful though. I just know it. Man I miss that girl.  We need eachother and this world isn't letting it really happen. I guess that's my fault though. Oh well. No need to go and make myself sad again. Scott asked me today if I need anti-depressants. Lol. It's sad when your husband has to ask you that. I don't think I need them? But how do you ever really know? Not really a topic worth discussing though. I hate taking pills, and remembering to take them daily. I'm just not good with it.

Scott also told me today that he wanted kids. Not right now of course. But in our future. Most of the time, I figured we weren't gonna have any. It's weird to think of actually making and having one of my own. I automatically assume a girl, cause that's what I would want to have. Scott grew up in a house of girls, he deserves to grow old with a house of girls. (: If it's a boy, we're giving him up for adoption... no i'm kidding. But I really hope it isn't a boy. And who knows if I can even handle 2. I am so not a kid person. Does that change when you have your own? Or do you still continue on not really having that feel to surround yourself with kids? I'm worried about this issue. I'm sure everyone is scared to be a mama. But I seriously worry myself. If anything i'll just have Katie watch my kids all the time. I'm sure she'd loooove that. ;) Just kidding Katie.

Alright so. I was really lazy these past two days. I admit it. So not many pictures, and not much events to write about. Everything is same old same old. I still can't wait for the new Harry Potter coming out.

Love, Kels.
