Melon Smoothie with Sago

I've been meaning to make more things so that my blog is not just all about my yelp reviews and my random visits to places. So I made an Asian Melon w/ Sago Dessert that I found here:

This blogger is Emily who lives in Australia. (I don't know why I like Australian food bloggers). Her blog is all about Fuss Free Cooking. I have to say this was pretty fuss free. It was fun and simple to do.

These are the ingredients used in this dessert. From Left to Right: Water, Sago(Smal Tapioca Pearls), Coconut Milk, Sugar (I used splenda instead), Salt (I ended up not using it), and 1 Cantaloupe.

In order to make this dessert, you will need: a stove, 2 pots, a blender, a mixing bowl, a large knife, and a  chopping board. I didn't have a big enough blender so I used my sister's single serve smoothie blender. It worked just fine.

Now, considering that I forgot to chill the melon mixture before I stuck it all together, it still tasted delicious. I wish I had used a little more sugar, but it was plenty sweet. The other thing I wish I had done was cook the sago just a little bit longer since my sago was a little crunchy. But overall, it was still good for a first try!

Sadness, Happiness and Joy!!!!!!

There has been a lot of sadness, a lot of happiness and maybe even a little joy.

• Crying with my sister and for my sister
• Being happy for a man who got a job
• joy at seeing a person break down their walls and let me in
• knowing I lost another one
• creating something new and remembering something old

one does not necessarily have to do with the other, and I was cryptic on purpose. So, to offset all the sadness, happiness and joy, here's a picture of my beautiful steaks!

The most beautiful and delicious steaks I ever made

and the cutest cat I have seen this year!

An update on the life of Liz

Yeah so, It's been a terrible while since I posted. But here I am again, and here is a grainy picture of my delicious dinner last night at Bugaboo Creek Steak House. It's a Prime Rib, Medium Rare with a Loaded Backed Potato. DELICIOUS! Of course, a prime rib is nothing without some raw horseradish and extra juice, yum!
