My favorite piece of food



Today I’m going to write about my favorite piece of food….But I have a problem in choosing one!!!! Ok, maybe I might choose two of them… The Sushi for the main course and the crepes for the dessert!!!  

The First is: The Sushi

My favorite food is the “roll” with salmon, cream cheese, avocado, wrapped also in avocado. I love the mixture between all of these ingredients!!!! I love also the “sashimi”, this slides of salmon covered with the soya sauce….It’s delicious.
The first time I ate it was …..Oops! I don’t remember!!! But what I remember is I didn’t like it!! J …but. with the passage of time, each time the more and more I loved it. For my pregnancy I ate it five days a week! After, when my daughter was born, she also ate a lot when she had less than a year.

The second is: Crepes!
I really love Crepes! I prepare them very often in my house, the most I like is: the crepe with butter and sugar.

Here, the recipe for 8 big crepes:
¼ litre milk
60 g butter
3 eggs
125 grs flour
20 grs sugar
1 pinch of salt

Heat together the milk and the butter.
Whisk the eggs with a fork.
Put the flour, the sugar and the pinch of salt in a bowl and mix all the ingredients.
Incorporate the mixing milk-butter little by little and whisk vigorously.

After that La pâte est prête !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Kiss!




The story goes like this: It was 1950 and the French photographer Robert Doisneau was in a terrace of a bar with his camera. Watching closely to passers by on the street and the crowd could see a couple of lovers who, heedless of everything around him, kissing passionately advanced. Quickly, thephotographer took his camera and shot this snapshotknown as Le Baiser de l'Hotel de Ville that was made famous to become the best selling photo history with $410,000 copies.

That way I heard the story, and so I fell in love with this photo, I bought a large poster and put it on my wall ... that cutest couple, love in its purest form, the beauty of the moment, the passion of youth the carefree feeling mixed with the day to day in the city, everything was too perfect.

In 1992 a couple came out saying they were those of the photograph. Doisneau had no other choice but to tell the truth before a judge to prevent impostors who might be entitled to the 
$100,000 claimed as image rights.

Life magazine had commissioned a story about lovers in Paris. And it was Doisneau himself who made a series of photos that entitled The Kiss. Those two young lovers to those who, coincidentally, caught in the Parisian streets were but unknown actors (boyfriends, yes!) who asked to pose for a photograph ...

However, the kiss is still my favorite picture .... maybe the metaphor is: True love is a fake!



The best day of my life!


Perhaps, as my colleagues say, this topic is very emotional ... but I do not understand what's wrong with that !!

Today I will talk about the happiest day of my life!
I think anyone could guess what was ...!!!

She is the most precious thing in the world, but at first she was not!

My daughter was born on 27 November 2006. At14:00 hours!! She was born by caesarean, and it was an emergency ....

That day I had an appointment with my midwife .Danae was ready to be born a week ago, but she just did not want.
When my midwife examined me I was 3 centimeters dilated, the midwife could not believe I did not feel the contractions ... then she sent me to the clinic quickly.....

there I got a drug to speed the birth, then my daughter stopped breathing .... seemed to say "no rush !!"....

Quickly the doctors took the drug, and anesthetized me. In a few minutes they took my daughter from inside me ... she was crying, but quickly calmed down... the doctor took her and quickly made the first evaluation ... she was fine! and within seconds left that gave me our first kiss (pictured ).... that was the first, then came many more !!!!!

My favourite piece of technology


I saw the topic today and I loved it !!! 
This post is very exciting for me, because technology is one of my favorite hobbies and I love every one of the gadget that has been in my possession!

My favorite is my IPhone, a little old-fashioned, and waiting for version 5, is what I always carry with me, and I worry if your battery runs out :) !

I bought it in June last year, for my birthday, and this year I hope to change with the new version.

I use absolutely all the time. Is my phone, my alarm clock, my agenda, all my documents are there, my e-mails, my pictures, my songs, my class schedule…is my contact whit this world! 

And has many applications that make my life easier: a map that doesn’t lose, when my daughter gets sick I can record the time of his remedies, and can even recognize songs that can be played on the radio, and then I can download. 

And I can find all that I want, because it has internet ¡!!

What Life Would Be Like Without it ???..... I panic just thinking about it!

Yes, I love my iPhone !!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)

The Mont Saint Michel


Today I write about the city about I would like to visit.
I very like to visit and live (all my life) in this place, is The Mont Saint Michel a perfect and magic place. The Mont Saint Michel is a French commune of the Manche, in the region of Lower Normandy,  it’s situated on a rocky island in a tidal estuary of the river Couesnon.
 The architecture of Mont Saint-Michel is fantastic and for this reason is the most popular tourist site in Normandy and one of the first in France, with some 3.200.000 visitors each year. A statue of San Miguel Archangel placed at the top of the abbey church stands 170 meters above the shore.
The most wonderful in the Mont Saint - Michel is that in the day is you are in the abbey you see also the sand around, but just before the sun hide, in few minutes the abbey to transform radically and the ocean to surround the Mont. This is very magic!!!
I really like to go with my little daughter, I don’t  saving money to go there, but is very probably that  in few years the Mont saint Michel to receive our visit, I’m sure that she enjoy very much this trip !

The music I like...


Today I write about the music I like listening when I'm feel sad, to cheer me up. But when I feel sad I prefer listening to the music to go with my feeling. Then, when I'm feel sad I always listening to Enya and Yann Tiersen or simply listening to the silence or my mind, this is much better, and the only way to something changes. After that, when my mood change, and I feeling better I like to listening different types of music: Rock, Pop, and Salsa, but always very strong. The rest of the time, when I feel normal I very like spend my time listening to the old classic in English: the Beatles, Elton John, Guns N Roses, The Mamas and The Papas, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and others. I also love listening to French music: Francis Cabrel, Patricia Kaas, and Yann Tiersen. My favorite is Yann Tiersen because he is very calm but not sad and it’s useful to concentrate… you can study whit this music. And finally, when I walk or take the bus I always prefer Shakira, because her music is strong, fast and with a lot of rhythm and this helps me to cheer me up.
