Plena de los carnavales de Panama 2009

This past weekend was Carnival 2009! I went to Las Tablas, a small town famous for its crazy Carnival festivities! Overall, I had a great fun filled but safe Carnival weekend! Best parts for me are getting wet, dancing all day/night, making new friends and listening to new popular songs! Oh yeah and eating really not healthy fried stuff! haha. Listen to some of the songs that I heard over and over again from Friday to Wednesday! (note the first few songs are different versions of the same song....) It was lots-o-fun!

words the make you go bletch!

So randomly came upon this link via A CUP OF JO, on The Word "Naughtly" Makes Me Feel Wierd. It's basically those random words that kinda creep you out....it's funny because I was chatting with my best friend on Tuesday and we both decided we hated saying genitals...Not all the words on SMITTEN's list creep me out. Certainly not "Naughty." I actually like using it...anywho
Here is the list from SMITTEN:
1. Panties.
2. Naughty.
3. Moist. (!!!)
4. Cakey.
5. Spread eagle.
6. Yeast.
7. Squat.
8. Goosepimples.
9. Tweak.
10. Slacks.

My list of creepy words & why:
1. genitals (ew)
2. moist (ew again...!)
3. crusty (I think of scabs)
4. horny (I hate when people do the Justin Powers thing sooooo creepy/pervy ew)
5. pus (well b/c that's what it is)
6. greasy (think of pimples or gross fried stuff)
7. camel toe (I hate that description!!!!!!)
8. butt floss/hilo dental (I don't like to think of my dental floss & thongs in the same way)
9. moldy (mold just creeps me out)
10. pop instead of soda (not so much creepy as annoying)

My list of words I like/think they are funny:
1. orange
2. sheesh
3. doo dad
4. flunch
5. darling
6. cheese
7. tee hee

Mmmm mmmm spicy!

So in general Panamanian food is just not spicy. There is a spicy hot sauce made here from a chili called Aji Chombo which is alright. I don't use it all that much honestly but it's cool that it's at least available in restaurants and stuff. Thing is people here seem to claim that spicy is bad and will cause stomach problems which I just don't buy....I dunno my mommy always said spicy was good especially for clearing sinuses/speeding up the metabolism. Through the years I have become a spicy super fan, adding chili to just about everything I eat. Well, so I found some interesting health facts about chili and there was way more benefits than I even thought! Check out Sweet N Spice for lots and lots of chili sauces. My personal spicy chili sauce favorites are Tabasco Smoked Chipotle Sauce, Tapatio Hot Sauce, Sriracha chili sauce & Lee Kum Kee Chili Garlic Sauce.

Mmmm anyway last night I needed to make dinner. I desperately need to go to the super market...but last night I had to make due with what I had available. I had soaked some garbanzo beans, and had some sad looking basil, squash and celery in the fridge. So are you thinking what I'm thinking? I bet you are! SOUP! So I made one of my concoctions and it came out well. Almost reminded me of Idili Sambar from India (minus the idili)! This is one of my all time favorite soups/foods and actually it's been years since I've even had it so maybe my soup isn't even close but to me it tasted similar enough and yummy! So here's the recipe in a nut shell:

Yummy Sambarish Soup!

1 cup cooked garbanzo beans
1 cup zapallo (sorta like butternut squash)
1 cup celery
1 cup carrot
1 cup onion
3 big cloves of garlic
1 table spoon of fresh basil
1 tbsp of olive oil
3-4 cups water
Spices:
salt to taste
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp yellow curry powder
1/2 tsp termeric
1/2 tsp coriander
splash of smoked chipotle tabasco sauce
splash of tapatio hot sauce

SOAK garbanzo beans over night
BOIL beans until tender w/ salt
CHOP vegetables roughly & add to hot water
COOK veggies until tender & add spices
BLEND soup until smooth (or not so smooth depending on how you feel) at this point add basil & olive oil
EAT it up! Yummy would be good with some rice or some kind of bread. I had neither & ate a mushroom omelet with it :p

Here is a real recipe for Idili Sambar which sounds yummy but much more difficult. I saw an Indian Restaurant here the other day and have been wanting to go. Maybe I'll be lucky and they'll have it!

I wanna live like a hobbit!

This is a low impact home in Wales! I totally love it! This is a solar powered home and features things like reclaimed flooring, windows and skylight! Read more about it on Low Impact Woodland Home. I would love to make a home like this! So cozy & cute! Reminds me of my time at the Domes! Weeee! Saw this on Free People blog.
