I made it through that wilderness...

"Somehow I made it through...."

The Outback. Home to Kangaroo's, Bats. snakes, dingos, emus, and many other animals. But it is home to the Anangu people. Ayer's rock is a scared place to it's people. People often talk rocks or other parts of this place home with them, too careless to know what great wonder this place has to others, I had the pleasure of listening to one native woman there, Rebecca. Tell us the story of the rock. The native tongue can be compared to Japanese. Both have the same sounds but just a lil bit different. It was quite a marvelous place. I felt so honored to be there and learn about the Culture there. It was such a great moment to be there. The local Aṉangu do not climb Uluru because of its great spiritual significance. They request that visitors do not climb the rock, partly due to the path crossing a sacred traditional Dreamtime track, and also due to a sense of responsibility for the safety of visitors to their land. The Aṉangu believe they have a spiritual connection to Uluru, and feel great sadness when a person dies or is injured while climbing. We didn't climb it but we got to watch the rock change colors at sunset! If you need to go anywhere in your life, this is the place!!

Alive

I am alive and well. I am off from Uluru and continuing to Cairns. Life in the outback is rough and fun. I have saw lots and hope one day to Return. The pictures i have are beautiful but due to the sucking of the balls internet. It would take forever to upload them here. So my journey continues.....

Aloha Bitches!

Off I set to see the beautiful World of Hawaii. We all left Seattle at 9:20 am. Five hours later. At 1:30pm Rainbow Island Hawaii. The hot sun, the cool breeze, the sand, the water, and the natives. After getting a bit mixed up at the Airport on where to get the rental car my fathers and I settled off to find our hotel on Wakiki. We are staying in the Outrigger on the beach. It's a marvelous hotel, swimming pool, the beach is down the stairs, restaurants within walking distances. After settling into the hotel. We walked along the beach, stop ate lunch, in which I got a make over, *note the flower in ear and the umbrella*. Walked more along the beach and watched the sunset until we all meet up with my dad's scuba friends that live here. Greg and their other friend Dan at Hula's. Afterwords we went to the Duke statue and took our picture with my papi Derek. We also meet up with papi Derek's friend from high school here. After dinner at duke's (It was really good) We enjoyed our walk back to the hotel and went to sleep. Tomorrow is a busy day!

She is off...

Her bags are packed. She has been waiting now. No more wait, her time has come now. She will be off to Hawaii first. Than Down under she goes. With adventure on her mind. Ambrosia can go where no other schnauzer has gone before!! She will be blogging on her trip. She will take lots and lots of photos and maybe a video! Wish her a safe trip and a fantastic return!

The best is yet to come...

I am already dreaming of my holiday break!!

hurtful...

Am i a bad person... Am i horrible? I think i am shitty!

I kinda hurt my best friend. While down in Portland this past weekend. I Emmy and Garbanzo and the girls. Than it was off to dinner with John's family. But my best friend lives in Hillsboro and i didn't even get to see him. I got a txt from him last night saying "Dude im kinda have feelings. im shocked you didn't even try to see me while you were in hillsboro. then i find myself feeling needy because of the way i feel. than you don't even txt me back anymore. i have decided that i shouldnt care but it still hurts and makes me feel shitty."

I honestly do not know what to say to his. He is my best friend and i have been busy with the upcoming trip. ....

HELP!!!!

If you love balls *giggles*

Than you should try this. You can even make it without the meat if you are not one who eats meat. Just add more veggies to your soup! The baby spinach on top is Fab. It just mixes into the soup! so good and great to eat on these coming up cold winter nights! Enjoy!

For the meatballs:

• 3/4 pound ground chicken
• 1/2 pound chicken sausage, casings removed
• 2/3 cup fresh white bread crumbs
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 1 extra-large egg, lightly beaten
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the soup:

• 2 tablespoons good olive oil
• 1 cup minced yellow onion
• 1 cup diced carrots (3 carrots), cut into 1/4 inch pieces
• 3/4 cup diced celery (2 stalks), cut into 1/4 inch pieces
• 10 cups homemade chicken stock
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1 cup small pasta such as tubetini or stars
• 1/4 cup minced fresh dill
• 12 ounces baby spinach, washed and trimmed

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

For the meatballs, place the ground chicken, sausage, bread crumbs, garlic, parsley, Pecorino, Parmesan, milk, egg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a bowl and combine gently with a fork. With a teaspoon, drop 1 to 1 1/4-inch meatballs onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. (You should have about 40 meatballs. They don't have to be perfectly round.) Bake for 30 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned. Set aside.

In the meantime, for the soup, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large heavy-bottomed soup pot. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and saute until softened, 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chicken stock and wine and bring to a boil. Add the pasta to the simmering broth and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until the pasta is tender. Add the fresh dill and then the meatballs to the soup and simmer for 1 minute. Taste for salt and pepper. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for 1 minute, until the spinach is just wilted. Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle each serving with extra grated Parmesan.
