Let's cook!






People says that images say more than words.....
Others say that what our eyes don't see our heart doesn't feel!
And I say: " knowledge is freedom"!

Well, today I decided to dedicated this post for all the Venezuelan people who "see" and who "doesn't see"!

In this unique place , I have a feeling that the new century is not here yet!
In the most parts of the world we have options, we have high-tech gadgets helping us, we have the basics above and beyond, we have freedom to choose, and again, we have options!

Last week we had our first cooking gas experience.
Here is like this: we have to subscribe and wait a month to gas deliver service begins or we stay in line for more than an hour under the sun in the summer time with the noise of cars crossing the road and wave dust all over the sky!!!!!!!!!!! So, the options are not 21st century! But the need is so last centuries!!!!!!!!!!!!
What to do? Get a headache in line or wait a month? Well, hire someone nice and brave enough to do this favor!
We did hired someone..... in this planet we have to be creative and opened to try new things!
We were so glad to pay for this service, in the other hand, we were helping the person too, because here money is hard to get. So, in the end everybody was happy!

We took pictures to show how last century is the cooking gas service here! And like always we have to find the funny part of it..... the funny part was listen the stories people told us about how to get the " bombona" ! Is like this: you go there, wait, wait, wait, and wait and say : " I want my bombona, I want my bombona, give me my bombona, give me my bombona" several times until the people got tired to listen to you and they sell the bombona!!!!!!! Imagine yourself doing that!!!!!!! It's sad , but let's try to have fun and enjoy the memories of the last centuries!

If people have cooking gas, what else they need? Did you say it cooking oil? If so, yes you are right! Last week the Venezuelan people had the cooking oil day! It was a unique moment seeing people rushing to buy cooking oil. We were at the grocery store and suddenly we saw a lot of people buying the same thing, and then I realized it was a cooking oil day or a blessing day? For me was a blessing and probably for them too!

For those who "see" and those who "doesn't see", for those who knows and who doesn't know the new century, let's cook our daily little problems and make a new dish full of knowledge, enjoying the challenges, trying to find the beauty and always trusting that the power of God is surround us like the wonderful smelling of a fresh bread leaving the oven!

With much love,
G, V, V, & O.

Saving the napkin!

Hi dear readers, Since a long time, buying things in planet Venezuela is a challenge, but now we are facing the worst  time ever! Some time ago a friend mentioned that in the future, because of the lack of food, we will have to eat soap!!!! Ironically, I can't find my favorite soap!!! Another day a friend suggested me to cut the paper napkin in half, because is hard to find napkins too! So, in the afternoon we cut the napkins! WOW! What can I say? No comments, just trying my best in saving, cutting, stocking, all kind of things. Even with this situation, we are good, we always have food on the table thank God, for the soap, we started using hotel soap we brought from our trip to Hawaii years ago! Every time we travel we bring food, soap, and now the newest product in our list is the toilet paper! LOL It's ridiculous to have to buy toilet paper in another Country, but what can we do????? From almost 3 & 1/2 years ago until now we are having the same problems, even wit...

Hi dear readers, Our little adopted kitty "Bebe" inspired me to write this post. I noticed the little kitty who lives in our backyard is very alert about the beautiful and colorful birds flying from tree to tree in our garden. Every time the birds land in our trees they sing, and the kitty starts looking and planning how to get the yummy bird. This week I saw the little cat very alert about the birds but without success in capturing her lunch! But today around noon, our little cat finally conquered her mission, she had a beautiful yellow bird, she brought the unlucky bird to our door and with her best pose and showed us that her mission was accomplished with  pride and glory! Poor bird, glorious cat!  That's life, if we ignore the dangerous that surrounds us maybe someone get luck with our lack of care. If we don't pay attention to life maybe we will pay a huge price for our lack of responsibility. If we don't see the "signs" maybe we will  be lo...

In a eco-friendly bag

Hello dear readers, Today I woke up inspired to write this post. I was thinking about the tragedies our world is facing, also about the sadness, the corruptions, the lies, all the terrible attitudes that human beings can have if they do not have moral, principles, conscious and love to share. Why is the world is like that? Why did the world became a hard place to be, why did the moral and good manners became jokes, neglected and are not being seen as the most precious treasure? Here in planet Venezuela, things are worse than ever, the lack of food and other goods are making people crazy. There are lines everywhere to find the basics, there are soldiers with heavy guns all over the cities, the grocery stores are closed to regular clients, only  people who stand in lines can buy the  products that the government allows to sell, these products are controlled  by the government, they control the price and the quantity  that each person can buy. For example they sol...
