Happy Halloween

On saturday we carved our pumpkins, to tell the truth Darren did, I carved Eli's and part of mine.

Eli wasn't to sure about putting his hands inside his pumpkin but, Hakan was really happy to get out all the pumpkin seeds, today we roasted them and Hakan ate them for the first time, he loved them.

Dinner is served

Today we made gnochi for dinner, this is a dish that my mom taught me a long time ago. This dish is very typical of Argentina, it takes a long time to make but if you have the right helper it goes a lot faster.

When I was dating Darren I cooked this for him and since that day it has been his favorite. He tells me that my cooking sealed the deal when he asked me to marry him.

Anyways, this dish is made with potatoes(boiled and mashed), egg, parmesan chesee, flour, salt and pepper, then just use your favorite sauce( we love marinara and chicken).

I wanted to share a little bit of my country with everybody.

I'M ON THE DARK SIDE NOW

No more 20's for me. Yesterday, October 2, was my 30th birthday. I had a wonderful day with my kids and husband. For once I gave myself a day off, no dishes, no cleaning. I spent my time scrapbooking. Hakan was really excited that it was my birthday. He wrapped some of his books and toys and gave them to me and he even wrote MOM and HAKAN. I was so proud of him, my little boy is starting to write.
Eli loved the cake. I had a wonderful Birthday.
