HERE’S WHAT’S UP: MISSED YOU

Hello fellow weirdos, we have missed you so much! There’s a bit to catch up on as we didn’t write “Here’s What’s Up” last week. So here we go!

New Year’s Day 2017

After carefully crafting our new years day menu, and shopping to make it happen, the man with N in his name said it wasn’t going to happen. As in he stopped us from cooking. He said he would rather we go out and eat.

You guys, we had withdrawal symptoms. Perfectly grilled chicken, fluffy milk bread, delectable creamy coleslaw, charming coconut rice. How was we supposed to forgo making these happen and go to a restaurant and eat things seasoned with salt and pepper? Not cooking is hard for us – like really hard.

After much should-we should-we-not kind of thinking, we shoved our darling ingredients into the freezer and fridge. Then we got ready and off we went to the largest mall in America: the Mall of America. We ate the most satisfying pretzels and pretzel nuggets there.

Then it so happened that while at the Mall, we called our friend who is a fellow cookaholic. She said she had made a lot of Egusi Pudding and even invited us to stop by her place and grab some. Oh man, we love friends like this. At her place we ate and went home with a full tummy and a bag of take-home foods.

At the end of the day, we were SO HAPPY that we didn’t have to cook, deal with dirty dishes and all that stuff.

After New Year

We literally woke up on the wrong side of bed with a neck pain that was so intense. We hoped it was just a matter of posture but the situation deteriorated and landed us in the hospital. The hospital experience totally deserves a seperate post. Thanks so much to all of you who prayed for us and sent us messages of hope. We are so blessed to have you!

Last Weekend

Family retreat, guys!

We packed our bags and zoomed off to the neighbouring state, Wisconsin where we spent the weekend with other Christian families. It was a lot of fun at the retreat centre. We learned, prayed and played together. Nothing like being in the same building with Jesus-loving Holy-Ghost filled homo sapiens for three days. Thank God for a great experience.

The retreat was an awesome way to begin the year.

Word for the Year

Declutter. That’s the key thing we want to do in our life this year. We want to live light, focusing only on the things that matter. More on this in subsequent posts. We're going to declutter everything that needs to be decluttered. No more clutter!

And now…

We're back home. Our neck is pretty much normal. We feel so refreshed and ready to take on the new week. Scrumptious recipes and posts coming your way! It’s a new year, time for a fresh start. Is anyone trying to eat healthy this beginning of the year? That’s where we're at. We returned home yesterday with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables from the store. Seeing fresh fruits all around us makes us happy.

May this week be a good week for you.

May your prayers be answered.

May the Lord’s face shine upon you.

May you have peace.

Have a great week, our friends!
