I have a dream

I love cooking,i'd love to open my own restaurant.Ian and i agreed that if i get my nutritionist degree i can also attend a culinary school.This blog was created to also share my cooking experiences.Here is my latest expiriments:black forest cake and falafel!On valentine's day Richard was sick so i went out with Carol and bought some ingredients to make a nice meal at home.I made roasted veggies,some chived puddings,pesto chicken and the tasty cake!

That day was also the princess first valentines,so i had to take a picture!

And while this one was taken a few days later(i had lost the top)it's still adorable

And this is my falafel along with Israeli salad

10 years ago

Ten years ago i smoked,i partied,i drank socially,i stayed out late...Now?I am married,i have 2 kids,i don't do any of the above anymore,and i love my life.I don't want to go into too many details,but life growing up for me was though.Mom is a single mother that babysits,cleans houses,worked in a nursery of a church,takes cares of the elderly,worked in a store...An amazing woman whom tried to give me anything a girl could need or want.But 10 years ago,when i wasn't a mother i didn't appreciate her enough.We sure realize how stupid we can be when we are young.My life has changed immensely.I live across the world,i am a military wife,a mother,a daughter,a friend.And about friends...Me and Save are still best friends,both with kids,and suffering from being so far away.Alessandra is another amazing friend,one of the few i am still in thouch with often,she always visits my mom too and we send each other goodies all the time.I made a few friends here,some truly dear ones,just to name some:Cara and Shaun,Venessa,Liz,Carol,Charmaine,Angie,PJ,Andrea and i am sure i am forgetting some,these are some of the people whom have made a difference in my life,have shown me what it means to be selfless and that it is possible to stay friends even when you move away.Since i moved to the US i have had at least 2 very bad experiences with women.LIve and learn right?I want to believe that everything you experience happens for a reason.We recently started attending church.I love being there with my family,i love singing along,i love watching Richard run to the altar all dressed up and giving Jesus a little donation.He loves going to Mass,the music not so much.He doesn't like others singing that much,so we avoid some gymboree classes for that reason.Anyway enough rambling i need to clean now

It's been so long

It's been way to long.So recently we added a new member to the Crazy Chambers Clan.Cassandra joined us via csection on december 6th at 11:03 pm(yeah i like to have babies at night!)weighing 6 lb 8 oz and measuring 18 3/4 inches long.Such a sweet tiny baby.She nursed like a champ all night.I was immediately in love,it was also so weird seeing all the dark hair she has since her brother's where red and very few compared to her,but her cry is what melted my heart.Richard has laryngomalacia,which means at birth his larynx hadn't developed completely so his cry was really low...I love my kids,they are absolutely adorable and Richard loves his little sister,here are some new pics

here are a couple from her baptism,jan 3rd 2010,what a special day!I was so happy my mom could be there,and so could Mack,he was our personal photographer!
