tired of playing?

my brother has this stuffed fuball, and Bellota loves it, I guess she is exited to see the world cup too..

my debut!

for photo class we had to improvise as models.... here are some of the pictures my classmates took while I was "singing", and mopping the floor. It was extremely fun to do..

I'm a cook!!

i've always loved cooking, speacially desserts but they tend to be a little bit too chemical for me. Still I do it, but not as professionally as I want to be....
On the other hand I'm a genius. today I cooked the best Mango chutney I've ever tasted. I read the recipe from Alton Browns and then did my own stuff... everyone in my family loved it! Once again my experiment was a succes.

I forgot, I served it with fried Trucha.

jackses

this Sunday I was with my family at my grandmother's house and we started playing jackses, but we had some doubts concerning the rules. For those who don't know the game here's a summary:

by the way this is a game that falls into the traditional category in Costa Rica

jackses are little star like figurines

1.You need a comfortable space, tipically the floor!
2. you throw the jackses on the floor and the you bounce a little rubber ball on the floor, while this one is on the air you pick up each one of the jacjses one by one, with out moving any of the others or letting the ball bounce more than once.

3. you pick up the jackses by sets of 2, tehn 4, 5, .... and so on, until you reach 10. of course if you pick up a set of six, there are only 4 left...

4. you can only use one hand


so thats the summay


I use the picture I found at this website where you can find more traditional games, it's in Spanish

more trees!

I just bought two more for my collection. One is a Muralla, i actually though it was coffe!. It has tiny red fruits that look very much like the coffe cherry. Also has tiny white flowers that smell really good, as cofee does also!
Well, since what I was looking for was coffe i bought a small tree but i have to turn it into a bonsai, another challenge for me.

On january i went to Tilaran and cut some branches of a tree they call Indio chingo, in English it means (as bad as it may sound) naked indian... but the good news is they are going extremely well. At least 3 branches have new leaves!!!! so exciting.

Also I bouth a wipping willow, a tree not a bonsai, a comple of months ago. I dind the same thing, and it has roots and leaves!!! the interesting thing was that it's almost as thing as a toothpick!
i hope they all turn into really beautifull bonsais!

VM

I'm so exited! there is going to be a 3rd season of Veronica Mars. It's my favorite show. i'm ansious to see what's going to happen on the next one. I wan Logan to stay with Veronica.

Party

Hey!
Well last Saturday was my party. Almost everyone I expected showed up, but some of then left too early, some arrived to late and other were like holograms.. At least we did had a good time if we ignore the timing.

The piñata was a succes! everyone was ansious to hit it. It was way to stuffed so, by the second hitter it fell! Still we grabbed the candy and treats. It was grate.

Here's a picture of me, my cousing and some friends and the Bellota (power puff girl) that was decorating my piñata.

After that, we ate the cake that was delicous. At first it was a downner caus the pastry chef that I asked to bake it forgot about it, so he gave me one he had in storage.... but the decorations were not as pretty as the onesI asked for.

Also I baked mini chocolate hedgehogs that I found here; http://www.leitesculinaria.com/recipes/cookbook/hedgehogs.html
Everyone liked them, but the shape was not a pretty as the one from the link.
