I’ve got the dress

I’ve got to be honest, even though I am physically here at home getting ready for our wedding, mentally, I am already in Mexico.

If you go inside my mind right now, these images are what you will see.  I’ll have the pictures do all the talking.

We are so close that I can almost taste and feel it.

We are so close, I can smell the ocean breeze and the fresh flowers.

We are so close, I can already see my happy colors, deep pink hues.

We are so close, I can almost touch these.

We are so close, that I can almost taste these too.

I’ve dreamt about all of the above the last few days.

Today, I had my final dress fitting. After I found “my wedding dress” last December, I waited months before it was ready. After a few fittings, the wedding dress is ready and it is in my possession now.

My sister has accompanied me during every fitting. I’m happy to have her by my side every time I put on the dress, because it feels special every time.

She is my maid of honor and today, they taught her to tie the bustles for my dress. There’s a diagram for the bustles and they are color coded. It looks easy enough, just need plenty of hand to tie it all together.

While they prep the dress one last time before I could take it home, my sister and I went scavenging for fun things to try on. After all, we were at one of the biggest bridal salon in the West Coast. We wanted to play dress up.

Hmmm, lets see.

I found my head gear for the next royal wedding.

To veil or not to veil?

My Carrie Bradshaw type of dress, this is what I would wear if I was invited to a Sex and The City wedding.

I asked my sister to try this on for when she gets married in the future, but she said it was too simple. The lace on this dress was so pretty, and the details is what caught my eye.

It was a lot of fun playing dress-up with my sister. We were giggling a lot and laughing at each other.

Now on to dinner.

Dinner that is quick and easy is perfect for weeknight preparation. This mix is similar to fajita mix, but I baked it instead of frying it.

• 1 whole Turkey Kielbasa, sliced bite size
• 1 big onion, chopped. It looks like a lot but it will wilt after the dish is cooked.
• 2 or 3 bell peppers, chopped
• salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything together and put on a baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30-35 minutes, stirring the mixture every once in a while.

The turkey kielbasa was extra  lean and I think next time, I would use sausage that has a little more fat.

After the turkey mix was cooked, it was sizzling on the baking dish and it smelled so good.

Then it was time to create his and hers plate.

For Chris’s plate, I sliced whole wheat bread and stuffed it with cheese and the turkey mix. Pop in the microwave or toaster oven until the cheese melts. He had 2 servings.

For my plate, I used La Tortilla Factory whole wheat tortilla and created a wrap.  I stuffed it with the turkey mix and cheese sticks. Put it in the microwave for a minute or until the cheese melts.

We both use Sriracha and sprinkled it all over our plate to add a little kick to our food.

Easy peasy dinner for two. The whole recipe serves 4-5 people, so we have leftovers for tomorrow.
