"Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventures"

oven apples

I wanted to share my favourite snack with you. It’s very simple and you don’t need much in house. I ate this in summer on the BBQ and in the colder months the oven works just fine.

What you need:

An apple (any kind you like or have laying around in your house)

Cinnamon

Dark brown caster sugar

lemon juice

Buter (optional, me personally think it’s already good without but if you want to something)

Tinfoil

An oven/BBQ

The oven preheated on 200° C

How you make it:

First your going to cut the apple in little parts, then you going to put the lemon juice over it so the parts are completely covered. You at the cinnamon to the mixture (I don’t really measure it but I think about 1 teaspoon is enough, it depends on your own personal taste), then you at two tablespoons of the dark brown caster sugar and mix it all together (if you want to use the butter just put the butter on top of the apples when they are In the tinfoil and just before you put them in the oven). The mixture is now ready the only thing that is left you to do is put it in tinfoil and in the oven (oven preheated on 200° C). Wait for around 15 min and feel with a fork if the apple is completely softened, yes? Then it’s ready to be eaten. No? then leave it a little longer in the oven till it is ready.

Another Luna update

In the past few months since my last update, Luna has grown both in size and character. All the things she used to be afraid of have slowly reduced to being barely afraid of anything. Even the fireworks of last week had no influence on her, she just kept on doing what she was doing (playing). She now is a very curious dog who always is there the first when someone is getting some food a plate, cup or anything else.

With no fear comes the naughty curious dog. She likes to play with everything that lives (dogs, cats, spiders, children, adults), even when they don’t. The cats don’t really got the change to just lay and sleep, Luna will always be there to play. What ever they try they can’t get rid of her. Nails in the scruff, it doesn’t even bother her.

She isn’t aloud on the couch, but that doesn’t stop her (climbing on the couch is the only thing she can do quietly). No? what does that mean?

Then she loves to have all the attention and so she doesn’t want to share (but neither she shares her food). She hates it when we watch a movie, because then we are distracted. And if it happens that we get so distracted that we don’t give her attention, she will do everything she can to drawn our attention (roles, whine, growl, bark). If that doesn’t work well then you take a run and jump on top of us (which will hurt). But also makes me laugh a little.

So as you probably can tell, Luna has really come alive and got very very (maybe even a little to much) comfortable with us.

Happy new year

Firstly, a Happy new year to everyone!!

My 2013 didn’t really went quite according to plan and I did had some set backs, but for what 2014 has to offer I’m genuinely exited, within both my future plans and personal life. I already have made some serious steps in my personal growth and my own recovery (witch I will tell you more about in a future post). But most of all I’m curious what surprises this year will bring me. I’m not big on making New Years Resolutions but this year I already made a start with some of my resolutions and I’m hopeful I will make those resolution come true, so here are mine!

Eating healthier: What this means for me, eating more fruit, drink more water, eat more vegetables and less fast food. I just want to have a bit more energy and with a healthy diet, I will be one step closer.

More Yes!!: Because of my anxiety I became a pro at avoiding life and anything fun, but because that isn’t something that makes me happy (it’s more that I feel lousy because of it) I would rather stop avoiding live and start living it. Facing my fears and become a stronger person.

There're my New Years Resolutions, what are yours?
