Ness, Kate and Me

It's Christmas Eve and I have been putting off going into town to finish off my Christmas shopping, if I leave it any later all the shops will be closed. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope your day is full of love, food, peace, loads of gifts, and happiness. BIG HUGS AND KISSES x o x o x o

A recipe exchanged from Deanna - Green Curry Chicken

1 whole chicken breast cut into thin slices (very)

1 T green curry paste (I use Mae Ploy)

1 cup coconut cream

1/2 cup sliced beans

1 can bamboo shoots (sml can)

1T fish sauce

1T sugar (I use brown)

2-3 kaffir lime leaves (you can get dried from asian warehouses)

fresh basil leaves

2T oil

Put oil in pot, add curry paste, lime leaves stir 1 -2 mins

Add coconut cream - bring to boil, add chicken, stir 2-3 mins

Add fish sauce, sugar, beans, bamboo shoots and bring to boil.

Add basil leaves.

Serve on rice.

I add more beans and a lot of fresh basil - one of those bunches you get from the

supermarket in little pots

*To turn it into a fish curry - leave out the chicken, add chopped tomato one or two, spring onions

and instead of beans I add frozen peas and add the chopped up fish at the end and only

just cook through.

I love chicken green curry!

The Youtube clip for the day is Christmas lights gone mad

My card for the day was FOCUS ON SERVICE

I wish Wanganui retailers would focus on service, they offer the worst service in the country.

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE - Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

NUMBERS Numbers play a huge role in my life not one day goes past where I won't see sets of three or more numbers. It started at the clock I started s...

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly. Since I dedicated forty-plus hours a week to my corporate graphic design job, I was lucky if I painted a couple of hours a week. I came to despise myself for this self-deceit, for my inability to embrace what I really wanted to be. I wanted to be an artist. So I committed myself to becoming one. I started out like most people ...
