Sitting in the dock of the bay

I always loved some old tunes and the one I found today it's one I like much. That's why I'm posting it here. It's one of those songs YOU feel like you known it forever...Timeless. It also makes me feel a bit melancholic...I don't know why I always imagine myself sitting in the dock of the bay while someone sings that song. Maybe one day we could do that. I think that would be amazing. Maybe that should be in our buckets list as well. What do you think?

here's the video with the song:



Enjoy!

Recipe of the day- menu of the week

Yesterday, I decided to arrange a menu for the whole week, so this morning I went to Miranda and bought all the ingredients I needed. I bought a lot of spices, some creams and mushrooms and nice meat and fish. Since I'm a newby in the cooking arena, I am mostly sticking to the recipe. Today, everything went well. I made Fettuccine with chicken and mushrooms sauce. My family loved it. I will post the recipe here. Maybe I can cook that for you one day, even if you don't like meat...

Here's the recipe:

FETTUCCINE WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM SAUCE

-5 chicken breasts
-250 gr of laminated mushrooms
-50 gr of butter
-4 soup spoons of brandy
-2 dl of creams
-200 gr of fettucine
-2 onions
-salt, pepper, spices, oil


Put salt and a pint of olive oil in a pan and boil the fettuccine for 12 minutes. When it is done, take it out and let it rest.

Prepare the chicken by chopping it in small pieces. In a pan add the butter and the oil and join the small chicken pieces until they are really tender and with a nice golden colour. Take it out and let it rest.

Chop off the onions and the mushrooms and put them in the pan where the chicken has been cooked. Let it get golden and join the mushrooms. Let it cook for 12 minutes. After that join the chicken and mix it all very well. Let it cook for 2 minutes.

Finally add the creams, the brandy and the seasoning as you like it. Stir and pour it on the fettuccine.

It's best served with some parsley as decoration.

Bon appetit.

Free Rice

Since my nights have been a bit dull without you, I've been coming to a site I've found a couple of years ago and that is extremely important in the battle of fighting hunger in the world. It is the free rice site where you play to raise grains of rice.

It was built as a word game. You have to find synonyms for the word given and for each answer you answer correctly the world food program of United Nations gets 10 grains of rice.

It's not only something that will make you feel better about yourself, but also something that will allow you to learn something new, since you will be dealing with words.

Eat, Pray, Love

If you were here I would like to watch this film with you. Remember, I've told you I've read the book a while ago...well, I'm curious how the film would be, since I actually liked the book. Recently, I've been rereading some passages because actually they help me to remember you. Some are quite wise and they make me understand where you are and what I might have to do to get where you are.

Here's the trailer:
