Beautiful and tasty

What a nice weekend…I was alone at home, tanning much my house, arranged, I changed the mobile, I put flowers harvested in the garden, and, of course, cooked too!

Yesterday I was a typical dish of Mines here: Rice with pork chops. For those who do not know, his would be the "spine" of the pig. A cut quite tasty, better still fresh when purchased in the São Jose do Almeida.This dish is not secret. Just temper and cook the pieces in the pressure cooker with enough water for another 30 minutes or less.

When the meat is soft, remove the pieces, clearing the broth and seasoning it will be in this broth as the rice is cooked. My temper like this: First put the meat in a Salmor for two hours to remove the impurities (learned that in a matter of Sonia Hirsch of the magazine Bons Fluidos). After braise garlic, onion, and pepper. I put the meat (without the Salmor) and a branch of fresh rosemary and another of sage.

Mix the rice with pieces on a platter, place the rest of the broth, is over, add minced chives and good appetite.

Generally serve as an accompaniment but braise kale yesterday innovate and invent the addition of cabbage salad below, that was a delight:

01 ripe tomatoes cut into cubes

01 onion cut into small cubes

02 heaped tablespoons of sliced mushrooms

02 branches of minced fresh cilantro

10 black olives minced salt, dried parsley and olive oil for seasoning ...

This is a dish to eat with your hands, without ceremony ....

One chapter made me reflect quite: Work-Life Balance. Today was watching while I have some for work, that my plants are dead, my house is a mess… It has more than 10 days that went to the roof ... Our life goes race but, as Welch says, this is the result of choices we make and we should not therefore regret.

Radical Change

Yesterday I felt a participant of those promotions of magazines and TV shows where women transform the visual and turn another.

I went to the salon get my hair and nails done. In the middle of the road decided that it would cut my hair. My hair was leaving me with a look unsightly: straight, at the shoulder, suffered because of the brush tip and splashing weekly, and so on.

In the beauty salon I found a Claudia magazine with Paloma Duarte on the cover in the days when she was protagonist of the novel O Profeta. I like the cut (not the tone blond, of course!) And asked the hairdresser's had to do it like that.

People, when it ended and I looked in the mirror I was sure that a program Before and After. Only failed to appear before the picture in the corner of the mirror. The hair is with fuses, a little above the shoulder, with a powerful fringe, very balance and brightness. Simply beautiful. And I just washed, cut and dry. Neither has time to rehydrate.

Worse, it had advised the teacher that would make late for an activity room and came in with that look like just left the salon. Not to mention the general buzz when I walked in the classroom. But it was worth it! I feel beautiful and powerful. Really a modern haircut makes miracles with our self-esteem.

No cars

Today the world celebrates the World Day without Cars, established in 1996 in France, seeking to diminish the effects of pollution.

Without knowing this commemorative date, I have drastically cut the use of cars because I was needing a little walk. Still can not convince me to get out of bed 01 hours prior to practice physical exercise, then passed to use public transport during the week, to work and study.

Instead of driving can take the time stuck in traffic jams to read a book, study or listen to music ...

On weekends I usually small shop on foot and opportunity to watch the news in the neighborhood since the week leave at 7:00 am and only returned at 23:00 pm The heart and thanked the environment too!

Shoes

What throw the first scarpin the woman who does not love shoes. Is it not my case, of course. I have several but still are few when compared to those I would like to have.

Buy shoes is very good. In shops in the style of Constance, then better still. Several shelves, separated by number, with shoes of all tastes and styles. The seller has to lodge and go away (like all seller should do) and can only return when you've experienced all the pairs available.

The excuses that we use when buy one more pair are also great: "I n-e-e-d a black shoe. Okay, I have three but none has buckle with strass." Or: "I don’t have this sandals, pink baby with details in green water."

A colleague of college say this about a very colorful shoe that had just buy: "It is not a luxury? Will be beautiful with a white t-shirt and jeans." In time, the shoe is really a luxury, eight heel and six different colors, varnish ... I still do not have one of these .....

aahhh, love...

At the end of last week managed to organize ALL my CD's and DVD's. Placed names, cleaned, kept right on the packaging .... and discovered that it's missing a lot, unfortunately.

What I felt was the most DVD movie The Bridges of Madison undoubtedly my movie. I bought the DVD in 1995, when neither had the equipment to assist it. It also bought the CD with a beautiful soundtrack of the film and read the book that led to the film. I have attended thousands of times and always crying.

When I was looking on the Internet a photo to illustrate the post found the following comment on the film. Neither must say that those who have not attended are losing, right?

"The Bridges of Madison is an adaptation of the famous novel The Bridges of Madison County, by Robert James Waller, which is supposedly based on a true story. More than surprise the viewer, who may never expected a love story told with so much pride and mastery by one of the heroes of western class, The Bridges of Madison enchants by portraying the love in adulthood, when little of us expect something more in life, when our dreams of adolescence were forgotten, and remember that one day dream is something that makes us examine and challenge an entire existence. Almost the end of the film, when Francesca asks the children to accept his last wish, that gave their lives to family, and wishes to Robert what remains of it, is not impossible deliver the items, the tears, the heart and soul for Clint Eastwood. He accomplished something that few manage: portraying the love without being pious or cynical . And with that, managed to shoot a small masterpiece, another of his excellent curriculum as a filmmaker, a film that you must see. " by Marcelo Costa.
