Her Post- A Healthy Recipe For Glowing Skin

Something is fishy around here, I m telling you…Cause we just made a fishy dish that smells like heaven and tastes even better. Or I just say my husband did it and I just assisted him, playing with the veggies and making trouble like a naughty child.

We had some frozen Merlucius also called silver hake and I wanted something comfy but not to heavy in my stomach. Cosmin made Baked Stuffed Hakes.

Although it s by far a time saving recipe (and pocket friendly too), we fooled around and end up spending about one and ½ hours in the kitchen. This time, he was in charge so I just did what my hubs told me: Chopped the veggies for stuffing.

Hey, it s not like I work for Good Food so you ll have to take this piece of crap art !


Carrots, onions, pieces of lemon and parsley were ready in no time. Then the fun begun. We competed against each other to see who s fish is more appealing. He won. He came up with an awesome idea. His fishes were tied around with onion rings, just like napkins. Before putting everything in a the hot oven, we wrap it in tinfoil.

Have you eating raw fish? You re acting like a monkey, get down from there!

With a preheated oven and a handy husband, this dish will be ready in less than an hour. You can skip the preheat step, even the stuffing step but you cannot ship the handy husband!

We almost inhaled our dinner. I don t recommend you do that, if you want to spare yourself of tummy aches. Besides, it s better to savor the fish the next day when all the aromas will blend more, so make sure you have leftovers.

I practically told you everything about this recipe so in order to put a spin on it, make it more fancy add some wine like Here !

Weekend Recap: wish come true, paper work and flowers

Hello, happy bloggers and readers! I was a little absent cause of a very busy weekend, but I hope you ll understand me. Good news although…I WENT TO THE CIRCUS SHOWRemember?

Saturday was the best day ever.After the press conference with the manager and members of circus “ Mother Africa”, I got to use for the first time my id press and been invited to the event for FREE! Unfortunately, my hubby had to stay home, and he made sure that I would be properly feed. He made a late quick post dinner snack for me.
                                                            
                                         After seeing those guys I wanted to move to Africa! So friendly people!


            That s how I looked at midnight, after a crazy day. "The magic dissappeared and princess Andreea became a ogre!" 


How was the show? Enough to say that I run out of battery on my handy cam. Ever since, I m in a very bright state of mind and the good things keep on coming towards us. Yesterday, I woke up very early, prepare lunch for my hubby and wrote some articles. Then, I panicked after checking the clock. I did a short mix workout, a combo between cardio and weights and really push so I still have time for post workout snack and to dress myself. I had a presentation to do at school and it went smooth like the rest of the day.



                                            Some yogurt/chesse/apple/cinnamon combo and H2O. And...Roumanian dead-lifts.


                                                                        I polished all in no time ! Hungry girl..

I must have been burned out. Once I returned home, I collapsed in a well deserved nap and woke up today with a sore throat and a little weak. I will listen to my body and rest at least for the first part of the day.




                                                   After a night of sleep, Andreea returned to her normal face

Cosmin made my day today. Again. It s the first of March and we, Romanians, celebrate the first day of spring by changing small symbolic gifts like ribbons made of white and red thin cords. I ll snap a photo later in the day. In addition, he gave me a small bouquet of hyacinth. The flowers we in a glass, in the kitchen and ribbon was prop up the glass. The man arranged all this there a night before, after I went to sleep. Now, the entire house smells like Spring!

Happy spring to you and remember,

DON T TAKE FOR GRANTED THE SMALL GOOD THINGS IN YOUR LIVE. BE GRATEFULL, BE AWARE!

Her Post- I m so excited, and I just can t hide it ( The pointer sisters)

Today it s a good day. Unlike yesterday, I manage to sleep, eat and tweet properly. I had to go to the National Library to find an antique paper. Are you holding on ?  The paper called “ The Rumanian” was created and released in 1883, so when I told what I m looking for to the lady who helped me she laugh and tried to explain that I misspelled the date…After a few second she entered the code and then she realizes that there was a paper from 1883.
She immeadiatelly brought it and I had to spend a bunch of hours figuring out what in the world those journalists wrote. It was an old roumanian dialect so…By the time I finished, I was ravenous, grumpy, my brain was a broke engine and all that calmed me before getting home was my husband s voice.



Today I had a lay down school day so I got my revange. Sunday will be an even more exciting day.
I m going to meet up with these guys:




No joke. A press conference it s going to take place at a mega shooping center and I get to be invited. Turn out there are the African version of Cirque du Soleil. The group gathers 50 people from all the African Continent: Tanzania, Etiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe and South Africa.

I want to asked them how it s like to be a traveller, whether they enjoy every single moment beeing on the stage or they rather do something else in life and if they really can see the beautifull countries in which they tour.

My secret desire is to get two invitations at their show. Maybe I ll have some luck on my hands if I ll start beeing more bold. After all, they speak english, I speak english. I m thinking saying them Welcom in African but I don t know a single word...Anyone?
