My Little Thai Chilli Plant

noodlegirl — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 02:03:23 +0000

Working at this Thai resturant really does put a toll on my body. My shift is only once a week but I work all day for 12 to 13 hours and boy am I exhausted at the end of the day. It’s been a month but my body still seems so tired.

I recently bought this Thai Chilli Plant at the farmer’s market. Here is how it looks after two weeks!

Here is a closer look of it can you see the green chillis?

Look what is hidden inside a red chilli!

Yet another one it just puts a smile to my face.

Aloha Summer Time!

Hello bloggers! Yes I have been gone for a long time!!! I have been in a rut eating crap crap and more crap. I may have been gone but I know what all of you have been up to as I still do read your blogs daily!! I recently got a Saturday job at a Thai restaurant fun and free food! So expect to see lots of my Thai Food free food pics in the future.

Here are some of my eats recently nothing exciting but I want to get started again eating good, fresh healthy food. It so hard sometimes though.

Above is a cookies n cream cup cake. There is a cup cake place that all my friends told me that its to die for. So finally, I got a chance to check it out. Can you believe it this cup cake is almost $3.00!! The quality is very good but it was way too sweet for me.

Ohhhhhh I just love summer time watermelons are so cheap!!! I love buying the smaller ones at costco and make water melon juice out of it. Been drinking these alot with a dose of chia powder!

Ohhhhhh how I love the above breakfast. Flatout bread along with eggs, spinach, mushrooms, onions, laughing cow cheese and lastly top it with some spicy salsa yummy!!!

Made this for dinner the other night. Some fries on the side, romaine lettuce, green peas, avocado and balsamic vinegar. I was going to add some laughing cow but I forgot!! The picture doesn’t look that good but it was delicious

I had this another night just curry ramen with some meat, spinach and peas. It was nothing spectacular but it did hit the spot!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year all my lovely bloggers! Well I didn’t do much for New Year’s Eve and in Hawaii they love to buy firecrackers legal and illegal and blow it up all night long. I personally think its a waste of money and pollutes the air but hey each to their own right lol! I closed up my windows stayed in snacked watch tv drink Kombucha and went to bed. I was really grateful my cat was not freaking out she was pretty calm!

There is a new juice place that opened up by Kahala called Lanika Juice. They have been on the other side of the island for a very long time and finally opened one here. They are somewhat like Jamba Juice. I went there and got me something to eat instead of drink!

Introducing you the Hula Bowl

At the bottom is a smoothie mixture of bananas, mangos, apple and honey. Layered with granola then topped with fresh sliced bananas and Pineapples.

It was so big I only had half of it and saved the other half for later in the afternoon.

This is definitely something I will get again.

Ahh for christmas all I wanted was a Panini Press and doing lots of research, I got this and what a great buy it is.

This is how good of a deal it is. At most retail stores this is sold at $129.99 and luckily I decided to check out Costco and see what they have. Oh they have the exact same thing for $89.99 but wait they are having a sale for it and I only paid $69.99!! Now is that a great deal or what! The can cook so many more things too like steaks, burgers and whatnot. The original press I was gonna get was at Target and all it can be used for is to make sandwiches priced at $59.99

So needless to say I am glad I waited and did my research!

My breakfast Panini

Not too healthy but oh so delicious! Sourdough bread, 2 eggs, 2 thin slices of spam and some Munster cheese.

Fage Yogurt!

Happy Thursday all of you! I am so ready for the weekend to come. Well I am back to knitting again. I went to a little knitting group today and yes they were much older ladies but they were oh so fun and friendly I had such a good time I signed up to go back next week!

Here is my dinner! I got it at this health food store called Down to Earth. Now I go to this place at least once a week. To get deli stuff and snacks!

Now I have been eyeing this salad quite a while and never really got around to getting it as I didn’t think it would fill me up at all! Boy was I wrong for some reason I decided I can’t take it anymore I just have to try this salad!

So presenting to you The “Spring Mix Salad” Tada!!!

Ingredients as mentioned on package

Organic Spring Mix
Walnuts
Cucumbers
Goat Cheese
Bread Crumbs
Scallions
Agave Nectar
Cranberries

Dressing :

Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil
Agave Nectar

I think on the top part the Agave nectar is mix in with the walnuts. Ohhhh it was so delicious I was kicking myself for not trying it earlier. Now I don’t think I have ever had Goat Cheese before the name kinda freaks me out but oooh again I should kick myself it was way good yum!

Comfort Food and Better Than Sex Dessert!

noodlegirl — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:30:37 +0000

Aloha my lovely bloggers! Sorry for MIA so long I have been sick but feeling much better now. Well there is a place I would like to show you that I went to at Key West. This place is called Better than Sex Dessert Bar. It is wonderful and doesn’t come cheap either. Totally worth the price though.

First of all we did take out so it’s not as prettily presented as it should be. This first dessert is Key lime pie with some caramel sauce it’s so refreshing. I wish I can type the sexually explicit description for you as they do on the menu it is quite funny but I can’t seem to find it online.

This is a chocolate fudge with vanilla ice cream!

This dessert Truffles is so rich thank good ness they put raspberry Sherbet and good I can only have a little bit but boy was it delicious

Now tonight I decided to have some comfort food! Chinese Char Siu and roast duck with rice. Not healthy but oh so good once in a while.

Hello!! Sorry for not posting for so long! Alot has been going on and I have not been feeling well. Guess what as you can tell from my Post Title I am currently in Key West Florida!!! I just arrived yesterday! Had a wonderful dinner at this place called Mangia Mangia I think thats how you spell it. I will take a pic of my left overs later as my battery died on my yesterday.

Today I went to a French Resturant for lunch! I love this place!

Can you tell what I had! Croissant with Ham and Swiss Cheese with a side of cucumber salad it was so fresh and delicious!

Then I went to the bakery and got myself the biggest Beignet I have ever seen with Nutella filling I was such a piggy I was so excited I forgot to take a pic.

Fruits Fruits Fruits

Aloha all of you I have moved to wordpress. OMG it was so easy with their new import system I got everything transferred over within minutes except for my sidebars! As my first post here I would like to make it a fresh healthy one lol!

Fruits is the word!

Can you tell what that is? Well it is the top of a pineapple it was quite difficult to chop it off ugh! I forgot to take a pic of the full pinapple but I am sure you will see it soon. They are selling it for only $1.99 at Costco

Here is 3/4 of the pineapple left in the fridge after realising I didn’t take a pic. Isn’t it huge!

Moving on, I also bought pomegrantes they are so big I love it got it at costco as well.

Here is half of it. I am trying not to eat it all at one time. It is my favorite fruti so I tend to open one big one up and eat it all in one sitting!

End result? I mix both frutis in my new little white plate! What do you think???
