Dinner: Mexican Tacos and Freshly Made Salsa

What's a better way of enjoying your dinner in a hot weather than eating exotic food that refreshes your palate and cools you down physically and mentally.

When the temperature started soaring the other day, I couldn't think of any other dish to make for dinner than freshly made simple ground beef tacos with chopped iceberg lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and taco cheese, served on a choice of soft corn tortillas or hard taco shell topped with freshly made Salsa out of fresh roma tomatoes with a hint of lime juice. On the side, I also served crispy corn chips to be eaten with the freshly made Salsa. Both recipes you can find at my other website: http://www.cookingenthusiast.blogspot.com/.

Living next door to a gourmet mexican-american neighbor, Blanca and Hector Gonzales and their three lovely children is so much a blessing. They cater and cook delicious authentic mexican dishes. We were lucky enough to have them cater for my granddaughter, Samantha Kho's, 4th Birthday Party which was held at my home in 2006.

Remembering Mom on Mother's Day

What's a better way of celebrating Mother's Day than remembering your mother and paying a tribute to all her unconditional love, sacrifices, unselfish and caring ways, together with your loved ones (not all of them) on this special day. Now that I have children of my own, I have come to realize that she was not an ordinary mother; she was a supermom. Looking back, I am amazed at how she was able to juggle her time between her work and her devotion to her kids when we were growing up. She became a widow at the age of 41, her second and last marriage (her first husband was a casualty of war). She remained unmarried until the day she died, unconcerned for the attention quite a few gentlemen had given her. Instead, her time was spent religiously on her obligations to raise her three daughters, and managed to send them to one of the best private schools in the country at that time. On her spare time, she volunteered to teach impoverished young women on home economics, f...

Name Change: One Day At A Time

If you have been following my blog, you will notice a name change in my title. Why? Because I no longer feel the former title, "Autobioblog: My Journey Through Life" is what my blogging is all about. The new name, "One Day At A Time", closely depicts my struggles as a person, a mother, a grandma, a caregiver, a businesswoman, a mentor, a CCD Teacher, a minister, a blogger, a million and one roles I have to play, multi-tasking in my fast-paced life. Sometimes, I wonder how I have managed to do all the things I had to do, juggle my time between trying to do work, supervise my children and sometimes my granddaughter, follow-up with my customers, talk to suppliers, bring my cars for change-oil, repairs, and maintenance, and still manage to cook a freshly cooked meal for my children. Life is such a great challenge. I learned in time that if I wanted to stay on top of things, I should take one day at a time.

A Life's Work

A Life's Work "None of us are defined by our circumstances, nor are we defined by how other people perceive us. It is up to each one of us to define ourselves, and that is a life's work." "Each of us has the ability to lead a dynamic life by pursuing our unique goals and dreams. There are no limits to what we can do." the whole world is an opportunity; it is our work to make our imprints on the highway of life. an unlimited advantage chosen by a select few, not of power and money, fame, nor fortune. the select few never try to prove themselves, for they know who they are they are confident, not pretentious. they know where they come from and they know where they're going they are at peace with themselves and their surroundings they are whole and complete.

It's a Beautiful World
