Shell card

Shell cut at 31/2.

This was so simple. It took me less than 15 min to put this card together. Turtle from the cricut lite splish splash cartridge. I cut it at 3 in, pop dotted it, embossed the background and sanded it to represent sand, added some rhinestoness and tied a ribbon. I will probably stamp missing you on the inside. TFL.

Thank you card

Korean style pork

2010-08-02T22:38:00.000-07:00

Korean Spicy Marinated Pork (Dae Ji Bool Gogi)

Ingredients
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 cup gochujang (Korean hot pepper paste)
3 tablespoons minced garlic
3 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
2 tablespoons red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons white sugar
3 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch thick rings
1 (2 pound) pork loin, cut into 1/4 inch slices
1/4 cup canola oil
Directions
Stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, hot pepper paste, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, sugar, green onions, and yellow onion in a large bowl. Mix in the pork slices, mixing well until completely coated. Place into a resealable plastic bag, squeeze out any excess air, seal, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 3 hours.
Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork slices in batches, and cook until no longer pink in the center, and lightly browned on the outside, about 5 minutes per batch. Be careful when cooking the meat, the spicy fumes will hurt your nose!

This was really good. Have it with rice, taegu and cucumber kim chee! I got this recipe off of all recipes.

Drivers Permit

2010-07-30T13:25:00.000-07:00

I feel so old...my oldest son just got his driving permit. I told him I was not going to teach him to drive that his dad would be doing that. Im not a good driver and why is that....well I self taught myself (mostly). When I was about 14 there was this guy interested in my bff. Well we told him that I knew how to drive so he let us take his car. So I hopped in the drivers seat and we took off. Being 14 this was sooo much fun (being a mother this is terrifying!). We were in an unfamiliar place so we were trying really hard to remember what street we were. Needless to say we got lost! I remember trying to do a u-turn and could not get it, there was a guy watching us (he was scarred that we were going to hit his car) so he came out and moved his car. Well we were lost for over an hour then we finally found our way back. The guy was so mad. But we had so much fun. I didnt get my license til I was 21 and when I went to get it I was 9 months pregnant so for my drivers test I just had to go around the block. The guy was so nervous that I would go into labor.

Friends and Cheesecake Factory.

2010-05-07T18:29:00.000-07:00

Its been many years since Have seen my good friend Kalei. When I was at one of the lowest point of my life she was there. She took me and my son into her home when I didn't have a place to go. I was about 6 or 7 months pregnant with my second son Jacob. Thank You so much Kalei! Thinking about those times brings back many memories. We were so young and there was so much drama but we also had a lot of GOOD TIMES!

So with my younger 3 kids we went to Cheesecake Factory in Waikiki to meet up with Kalei, Trina, Stacy, Shaylee and Danielle.

I recieved my first RAK!
