A great day with Friends~~>#Miami~~>#Lunch~~>#History #Scenic #Bayside #Sunshine #Outdoors

Hello All, Hola!

Hope you are all enjoying the beautiful and sunny day! We have not had any rain for today as yet.
So how long has it been that you have been for a nice outing in beautiful Miami? Miami has so many history and it is growing so rapidly. It is amazing how much it has expanded in five or ten years.

Miami's Hooters and well known Mojitobar!

Espero que todos disfrutando del hermoso y soleado día. No hemos tenido ninguna lluvia para el día de hoy.  ¿Cuánto tiempo hace que has salido en un agradable paseo en la hermosa Miami ? Miami tiene tanta historia y está creciendo tan rápidamente. Es increíble cómo se ha ampliado en cinco o diez años.

A couple weeks ago, I had the joy of seeing some beautiful sceneries with some friends. They were on a short stay over and they wanted to see a bit of Miami as they never had the joy to stay long enough. We had a limited amount of time so we had to make choices.

Hace un par de semanas, he tenido la alegría de ver algunos hermosos paisajes con unos amigos. Se encontraban en una estancia corta y que querían ver un poco de Miami ya que nunca han tenido la alegría de pasar suficiente tiempo aqui. No teníamos mucho tiempo por lo tanto tuvimos que decidir.

The Tasty Chill's restaurant!

The Great Artist Collection BRITTO!

The parrots are always great entertainment!

There are numerous stores to buy gifts for everyone.

While we decided where to go we prepared ourselves for a beautiful day in sunny Miami. That is one of the main attraction to Miami, the sunshine state. It did not surprised me when the Bayside MarketPlace was chosen. It is where there are numerous shops to buy last minute gifts and there is always something for everyone. There are lots of great restaurants with tasty, delicious and unique meals and something for everyone's taste as well. Last but not least, there are many entertainment places and always live entertainment too where children can have a great time.

Mientras decidimos donde ir nos preparamos para un hermoso día soleado en Miami. Este es uno de los principales atractivos de Miami, el estado del sol. No me sorprendió cuando el mercado de Bayside fue elegido. Este es el lugar donde se encuentran numerosas tiendas para comprar regalos de última hora y siempre hay algo para todo el mundo. Hay un montón de restaurantes con comidas deliciosas y únicas y algo para todos los gustos también. Por último pero no menos importante, hay entretenimiento de muchos lugares y siempre entretenimiento en vivo también donde los niños pueden tener un gran momento.

There is always a place where you can get fresh and healthy drinks!

Overlooking the bay you can find the Famous Hard Rock Cafe!

At night you can see stellar of stars!

 

Here is a view where the water-taxi fills up hourly for a tour. We also see the condos afar.

  The Bayside MarketPlace was built in 1987 by the Rouse Company. In 2004, the General Growth Properties bought the company and the Bayside became added to the GPP list of family centers. What is interesting is that Miami welcomes 12 million visitors to the Bayside every year!!! Impressive. I enjoy going to the Bayside for special events and to take the family and friends as well.

Here I am at the entrance of the condos, impressive!

Here are the huge moments everyone takes home from Miami!

Miami is one of a kind and has many historic and interesting places to go and enjoy!

Let's have a closer look at the Hard rock Cafe and the water-taxi.

My friends had a wonderful time and hundreds of beautiful pictures! It is always a pleasure to show our sunshine state to our visitors!

Miami es unica y tiene muchos sitios históricos e interesantes para ir y disfrutar!
Siempre es un placer para mostrar nuestro estado del sol a nuestros visitantes!
Mis amigos tuvieron un tiempo maravilloso y cientos de fotos hermosas!

4 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
1 tsp paprika
2-3 oz dry sherry
4 oz virgin olive oil
3 tsp chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon for juice
1 fresh baguette, sliced

Method
I would put all the shrimp, garlic, sherry, olive oil and lemon in a big pyrex dish and leave it for an hour or  two.

In a pan or heavy frying pan, over medium heat then to high heat.   Stir well, then sauté, stirring briskly until the shrimp turn pink and curl – about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer shrimp or serve right from the pan. Season to taste with rock salt. Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with fresh bread.

1 libra de camarones
4 dientes grandes de ajo, finamente picado
1 cucharadita de pimentón
2-3 oz de Jerez seco)
4 oz aceite de oliva virgen
3 cucharaditas picado perejil fresco
1 limón para zumo
1 baguette fresco, cortado

Metodo

Ponga todo el camarón, pimienta roja, ajo, jerez, aceite de oliva y limón en un plato del pyrex grande y déjelo durante una hora o dos.

En una cazuela sauté o sarten pesado, sobre calor medio a alta temperatura. Muévase bien, entonces sauté, moviéndose hasta que los camarones se hagan rosados y rizo – aproximadamente 3 minutos. Quite del calor y transfiera el camarón o sirva directamente de la cazuela. Sazona con sal y pimienta. Rocíe del perejil. Sirva con el pan fresco.

This was of course quite delicious, we ate it Saturday night for supper, only Shrimp in garlic and some slices of baguette. Yummy, yummy for my tummy.

Shrimp Tikka Masala recipe #MamaSabeMas #Hunt'sTomato #Delicious #Delicioso

At this time of the year with the cool weather we all appreciate some comfort food, warm vegetables soup, lasagna or some nice warm saucy food cover with tomato sauce or tomato paste or chopped tomatoes with some cilantro.

En esta época del año con el clima fresco todos apreciamos algunos alimentos de la comodidad, sopa caliente de verduras, lasaña o alguna cubierta agradable caliente los alimentos picantes con salsa de tomate o pasta de tomate o tomate picado con algunos cilantro.

We used  some sort of Hunt's tomatoes with most of our meals : Hunt's pure tomato,  Hunt's Tomato Sauce and/or  Hunt's Diced Tomatoes. 

Usamos alguna clase del  Hunt's tomate con muchas comidas: el tomate puro de Hunt's, la Salsa de Tomate de Hunt's y/o los tomates cortados en cuadritos de Hunt's.

Over the weekend, we had some friends over to celebrate the New Year and we decided to have a dinner and reminicse while enjoying a delicious home cook meal. Well, we could not decide on which Indian food and usually that means  some Curry.  We are aware that the most delicious and nutritious meals are made with high quality, all natural ingredients and tons of love at home.
Well, I could remember once in England, someone had made some red curry. Now, I have no idea about Red curry, normally I see yellow or green curry. I believe it is from Thailand. I felt a bit adventuresome decided to add Hunt’s Tomato Sauce to my curry recipe to enhance its flavor and color and see how my fantastic and delicious my red curry will taste. 

What I like about curry is that most of the ingredients are natural and it is a well nourished and delicious meal.

Durante el fin de semana, teníamos algunos amigos para celebrar el Año nuevo y decidimos tener una comida y recordar tiempos del pasado y disfrutando de una comida deliciosa y casera. Como siempre, no podíamos decidir qué comida del la india y por lo general esto que significa algún Curry. 
Bien, pude recordar una vez en Inglaterra que alguien me había hecho algún curry rojo. Ahora, no tengo ni idea sobre el curry Rojo, normalmente veo el curry amarillo o verde. Creo que es de de 

Lo que me gusta del curry es que la mayor parte de los ingredientes son naturales y ello se producen una comida bien alimentada y deliciosa.


Note:

Hunt's diced, whole and stewed tomatoes are 100% natural. They contained no preservatives and are not peeled with harsh chemicals. It is the only major national brand that exclusively uses a natural process called FlashStream  whereby the tomatoes are naturally peeled with water vapor or steam. Thanks to FlashSteam, Hunt's has that fresh from the vine taste. That’s why you can feel safe when using 100% natural Hunt’s tomatoes in your recipes.

Setting the table for your guest this #Christmas

Hello Everyone, hope you are all ready for this beautiful day of gathering with the family and friends.
You are most welcome over if you are around the neighborhood!

Well, I love to have my table set for my guest and learn to use the utensils right. I have always thought it was a puzzle when I see  so many of them. I do not eat a lot and when I am hungry, I just want to eat, not eat my appetizer and am full, it is funny really, has this happen to you before. It was hilarious the first time! I ate all my appetizer and when the meal came, I was I will not be able to eat my meal. One good outcome was that it was with family!

Well, since it is Christmas time, we would be using our Christmas theme to use the colors that you desire to represent Christmas. I would say red with green and white or gold. Your center piece can be candles, the Christmas plant in a vase, your choice - something traditional or abstract; something cost effective.

Setting the table:

• you can use a charger base setting or a place mat: the color depends on what you wish to show (pizzaz or simple setting) it depends on event and your choice.
•  you need our wine and water glass, you can be as classy as you wish by using different colors. It really depends on how formal you want to be you will extend the culinary utensils (dessert and tea).
• you will need your silverware :the forks on the left hand side and the spoons on the right hand side with the knives- the more formal the more utensils you will need. The knife, turns the cutting side of your knife is turn towards your plate, the spoon will be lined up with your knife. The fork must also be lined up with your knife your  place the cutting. Make sure you utensils are lined up with your knife. The dinner fork is closest to your plate and the smallest fork is next but goes on the outside. This is a basic setting.
• your napkins color depends on your theme or occasion. You can fold your napkin into a decorative style on your plate or in your wine glass: your choice

Remember this is a simple table setting, we will do another segment with a more formal setting.

This is important since there are many ongoing social events at this time of the year.
