I had a great week with my man.
In the morning of Valentine's day , my man gave me a beautiful card, as I said in my previous post.
"Being Married to you is like sharing every day with my best friend"
... so true friend, I feel so too :)
So, I told you guys I am taking my man for Sushi, and so was it. We went to a really great all you can eat Sushi Restaurant called SUMO in Rotterdam.
Boy was that good... I took some pictures for you guys to see
It works like this, there are 6 rounds, in every round you are allowed to have up to 10 dishes. The dishes are everything from Sushi till Udon thick noodles and Soups. They are relitavely small portions, but just enough to enjoy the oriental versatile tastes.
So we started with a list, and marked 10 dishes.
We started with Tamago and I ordered California Roll, and tried some mini egg-rolls
The Sushi was really good
My man was so happy, he loved his valentine's gift
We took some very blurry pictures together :)
Did I mention my handsome husband was so happy?
Yeah, and so was yours truly
Then came some Teriyaki beef, with sweet potatoe fries, so nice :)
Then we were quite full, but there goes round 2 :
How about some Asparagus filled Beef, accompanied with some Japanese dumplings?
And we tried 2 soups: Beef soup and Chicken Soup, and with that came a really tasty Udon (thick) Noodle stir-fry, which was delicious
Then there was also some fried Calamari with Lemon Mayonnaise, and some curry triangles with hot chilli sauce... we were starting to get really full
And we were just in Round 2, so after we ordered some regular Maki Salmon on round 3, we understood that it's best to just stop now before it gets too heavy, so we stepped out, and here is how we looked after we left the restaurant :
Happy and extremely full. We are defiantly going to come back here
Ok. You are probably asking what is that nice scarf? well, I got that from my grandfather, as a winter gift, and I love it. Here is me wearing it after I got it
And a different angel. I love this scarf so much
So, going back to our valentine's day experience , since we were already in the city, we decided to check out some stores and enjoy what Rotterdam has to offer
Then I stepped in to craft Heaven
And we even saw the coolest hip hop chicken out there.... west side...
Then we checked out some cool lifestyle shops, and I entered baking heaven... so much inspiration
It was such a nice day.
In the evening I went to my weekly class by my friend Lisa. I forgot to tell you , but she is so nice that she saw me really enthusiastic over her doodle calender, that she got me one. How nice is that?
A doodle your day calender is a creative calender where you can doodle the rest of a picture, and there are nice questions attached, here is an example:
A naive question like , what do you want the robot to do?
Of course a cookie monster like me can only think of one thing
I love that calender, thanks Lisa :)
I am taking you a few days back to the time where I had to go to the Hague , or Den Haag in Dutch. it was still freezing and snowing , and so I took a lot of beautiful pictures from the road and the marvelous city which I can't wait to share
I met some Sesame street Cupcakes
And here are the beautiful pictures of the park in the center of Den Haag
Oh, there's us
There's us again, and I was so blinded by the sun :)
Two days before that, where I lost my briefcase :( , I as on my way to Sciphol ,and so such nice sites I had to take pictures
Holland is so beautiful I love this windmill
Back to a couple of days ago. I know that the timeline is messy, but that's how I am :)
The muppets sale in the supermarket is still ongoing, and I really wanted Fozzy bear, which I adore, since he reminds me of myself a bit.
The thing is I didn't have enough muppet points. I only had 2, and I needed 6.
As in a wonder, I saw a ribbon with 4 muppet points on the floor. I guess someone lost it, but no one claimed it, and so I was sooo happy to go to the cashier and ask for Fozzy. They didn't have him anymore :(
But, they had the display muppet , which was a bit dirty , but still fozzy, and so I got him, yay!
He was happy too as you can see in the picture. He already was telling the joke about the chicken who crossed the road :
And he has a bow tie. so cute , and a hat. just perfect.
Than he started modeling with us:
He was so happy that now he can join Kermit and Miss piggy. They were not.
Later that night I made nice dinner for my man: beefstakes with my israeli salad and smashed potatoes:
Smashed Potatoes
3 potatoes with peal
1 onion
6 garlic cloves (in peal)

Preparation
1) Cut the potatoes into squares, put every thing in one tray.
2) Drizzle a little bit of olive oil, some sea salt and some pepper.
