Clean Up time!

OK, Sooo Ladies and Gentleman, Im cleaning up my blog.
Though it may not look sloppy from your end it certainly does from here. My Posts lists it filled with half ass drafts and angry vents and nothingness. Haha. So While Im going to be cleaning up (Which should take me atleast a few days) I'm probably going to change around alot of things, my layout for one as my color schemes and background. Yippee! Haha. I'd also like give other bloggers and enterprises an oppurtunity to join my links list. Which should be interesting! Mhm.
Btw, I'm vacationing in Colorado for about two weeks. How I've failed to mention this previously, I really don't know! Should be interesting, I really can't wait. Plane leaves June 27!
Wow. So sorry if my changes alter anything of your reading, but thank you for reading and enjoy!
As always, Yamile

Drake

Who here remembers Degrassi ?
Teen Drama TV show based in Canada about average highschool students going through the many things adolescents go through. Well if you do then im sure you remember Jimmy, Who got shot by members of a rival high school being in the wrong place at the wrong time and thus was paralized from the waste down. Gheez, That sucks!
Well it must not suck that much because Jimmy, better known as Drake (His real name) has hit it big in the rap biz'!
He's gonna make it big and bigger. So far he's rapped along side Lil Wayne (Whose last album hit big by selling over a million in the first week, one of those million I own ! haha), Busta Rhymes, and Mary J. Blige. Not only is he coming out with what seems at this point to be best seller CD in October, Hes grabbed attention from the female fans as well.
Let's see how far he goes, his CDs not even out yet and being a one hit wonder was crossed off his list weeks ago.

Hit by a what ?

So today was interesting..
We were BBQ'en it up, cause it was hot and all that jazz. Lately my little sisters been begging me to go ride bikes with her, so after i saw no today she asked mother, mother of course said yes, so they rode around the block and melody asked to go just up and down the full block this time.
Now mother is super protective of little Mel, so she said "Not unless your sister goes with you". And of course thats me. So instead of asking me my mother says "Just go with her this once please" and i say "Fine" Because in truth, I honestly don't mind. So I get on the bike and i ride down the hill that is my block when i realize the bike isnt breaking.. and theres a car coming up the block. I started to panic and the bike sped up with the momentum of going down hill. The car slowed down instead of stopping and the next thing i know I'm 10 feet from the bike and 5 from the car, I had gotten hit by a car. I couldnt believe it. I honestly couldnt. So i just sat there while some spanish lady came out and started yelling at me then it was my fault and i had been going to fast. My head was throbbing and my legs were sore and my mouth was dry so i told her to shutit, cause i didnt care whose fault it was, i just wanted to go to sleep. Now i see my sister and shes freaking out.

"OMG! China are you OK"
"No, mel, go get mom."
"I cant! -I cant find my phone"
"She's right up the block mel, go!"
"OK" Mel runs off.

It seemed like forever before my mom came running down the block with tons of people from the BBQ behind her, and all these people were crowding me. Cars had stopped and this random black guy was calling the cops. i tried to get up before mom got around but he said "No, no mami, stay right there" he seemed nice, i think i liked him.
My mom seemed much more chill then i expected her. Shes usually always making such a huge deal out of the littlest things But i guess the fact that i wasnt bleeding severely or anything comforted her. This idiot cop kept asking me stupid questions, and i told him i didnt wanna talk to him. Thats when Mother yelled at me that i better say what happened. So i told him, but it was all fuzzy really i dont remember much afterward... It was all hazy, I just wanted to go to sleep. and to take a few pain killers. Then the EMT got out and started checking my head and asking me all these questions, but i liked him better then the cop, maybe because he wasnt quizzing me like a dickhead and didnt have this little permanent smirk on his face. I smiled at him and told him everything i knew, then he said he should take me to the hospital and i said no of course, because i wasnt getting on that ambulance! Crazy ? Not me.
My head was still throbbing and mom just told the EMT that shed rather take me herself since i was in no way getting in that stupid ambulance.
The emergency room took forever, i was there for four hours just so they could tell me i was OK. Check my pee, get me pregnancy test results and a CAT scan which was scarrier then youd think. My cat scan was OK, and my Dr. was pretty cool. I'm OK. i just need some pain killers for the head ache they said would be normal for atleast a week.

Ask me how it feels to get hit by a car, I really couldnt tell you.

Butter Chicken.

My friend came over a few weeks back and we were extremely hungry soo she asked if i had an boneless chicken. When i said yes she asked me for a whole bunch of other ingredients and I went and pulled them all out. About half hour later she had made me and my younger sister some of what she called "Butter Chicken".
I knew at the time that this was not the actual name of her recipe but it was really good and easy to make ! So tonight my mothers going out and i ask my sister what she wants and she brings up the butter chicken. I completely forgot what my friend had used! So i opened up my internet explorer and searched the recipe for "Butter Chicken".
And a whole bunch of spicy indian recipes came up.. Dead end for me.
I didnt want to ask my friend because i wanted to try it out first.
I'm adventurous. ahah.
I might just ask her the recipe when i next see her.. BUT if all goes well then i neednt ask her anything.

I will start off with:
Boneless Chicken
Adobo
Sofrito
Saz`on
Salt
a PINCH of oregano, unless your an oregano fan that is (:
[+ tons of BUTTER, of course ]

Because i know these are the things she used for sure.


First off of course is to let the chicken thaw.
When its done thawing you can chop off the fat if youd like or tenderize it to your liking.
I however just cut off the fat and cut all breasts in half. After this i took a fork and poked all the chickens in various random appropiately spaced spots. I do this because i want the flavor to seep in my boneless chicken breast as well as coat it.
Now season away ! (and to your liking of course).

(My first step was to cover each chicken piece in sofrito enough to stain the chicken a bit. afterwards I got the sazon and applied liberal amounts. I wanted my chicken to get the orange glow to it that would guarantee flavor and stick even after cooked and by being liberal I'm assured this. Adobo went next for me and i sprinkled just enough but not to much. Before i went further of course i made sure to massage up my chickens and spread the adobo around on both sides. I wasnt really sure about the oregano but i put about a teaspoon of oregano in my hand before i sprinkled just a touch on my chickens. It all worked out well for me though because Im not an oregano fan, however please apply to your liking. I sprinkled some salt next just reassure myself of flavor and voila! done with my seasoning. A few tips to seasoning is always get down your liquids first. Hence the Sofrito being the first addition. By adding any liquid towards the end of your method you might take away from other seasonings. From there you can pretty much work your way up to not coats or layers but mixtures.)

Off to the pan. I pretty much layed about two tablespoons of butter on the pan and heated it up so it melted. This gave my chicken a better finish then i feel oil would have. I cooked the chicken each about 8minutes on each side

 and finished off with some lovely..
something-or-other chicken. but it was really good (: im uplading some pictures soon.
You might want whole baby potatoes to go with your chicken because its not to filling like baked potato nor to much like mashed.
Enjoy and though its not an everyday meal, it certainly can be an everyday recipe.

And heres what i ended up with: i uh couldn't help my extremely hungry self and bit into a piece while lathering my potatoes in butter, hah. thats also butter on the side, so though it may not be a beautiful picture it certainly is an appetizing meal.
