Weekend Update

Posted by Lisa on January 14th, 2007 — Posted in Activities

I’ve been having a great weekend. It started off on Friday, with my friends Jaime, Rikki, Marlene and Joanna coming over for an afternoon of mahjong and pisco sours. Friday night Steve and I went to a birthday party that was hat themed. Saturday, we went grocery shopping relaxed at home and caught up on some movies. Today, Steve’s busy working, so I’ve been cooking and cleaning. Just finished up a batch of lemon scented blueberry muffins- the house smells devine. Hope you all had a great weekend as well!

Picture of us from party- Steve looks thrilled to be wearing a hat!!!

DELISH!

Music and Art Show

Posted by Lisa on January 14th, 2007 — Posted in Activities

On Thursday, my friend Karen and I went exploring downtown. We searched for this awesome street vendor bread, then headed on to a guitar and art show. The art show consisted of local artists selling their paintings for 5-20 mil ($10-40). I found this great little painting that I though Steve would like.

We then listened to 2 guitarists plays. They did a very good job playing classical guitar, though the second one outshone the first. We had a great time walking around La Serena. I would post a picture of the 2 of us, but Karen is nice and petite, and the picture makes me look like a GIANT, so I decided to forget it. Maybe next time…

Steve and I have been on a pretzel making kick. We’ve made them for 2 parties recently. Thought i’d share the recipe we’ve been using. They are surprisingly easy to make and everyone says that they are the best pretzels. Enjoy!

Beer, 007 and Chinese. What more can you ask for?

Yesterday, we finally joined the ranks of Daniel Craig as James Bond fans. I would go as far to say that he is my favorite James Bond ever, with Sean Connery in a close second. I really enjoyed the movie, from all aspects. I liked the toughness and edge that Daniel Craig brought to the movie, the only thing I missed was Q, though I feel in past Bond movies the gadgets became INSANE!! We went with our friends Rob and Joanna, and before hand we ventured to Schopdog, which is a chain restaurant here in Chile, for the ever popular Rocket…

After the movie we headed down to the little chinese restaurant on the beach, and ended up joining up with our friends Chris and Rikki. We had a wonderful meal and a great day overall. NO big plans for this weekend, hopefully we’ll head down to the beach. Hope all is well with you, and since I never posted a new year’s post, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
