luckypinkhearts.gifBoy I hear you in my dreams. Feel you whisper across the sea.

 

Keep you with me in my heart.

You make it easier when life gets hard.luckypinkhearts.gif

luckypinkhearts.gifDo you hear me,

I’m talking to you

Across the water across the deep blue ocean

Under the open sky oh my, baby I’m trying

Boy I hear you in my dreams

I feel your whisper across the sea

I keep you with me in my heart

You make it easier when life gets hard

 luckypinkhearts.gif

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

 

They don’t know how long it takes

Waiting for a love like this

Every time we say goodbye

I wish we had one more kiss

I’ll wait for you I promise you, I willluckypinkhearts.gif

 

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

I’m lucky we’re in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

 luckypinkhearts.gif

And so I’m sailing through the sea

To an island where we’ll meet

You’ll hear the music, fell the air

I’ll put a flower in your hair

Though the breezes through trees

Move so pretty you’re all I see

As the world keeps spinning round

luckypinkhearts.gifYou hold me right here right now

 

I’m lucky I’m in love with my best friend

Lucky to have been where I have been

Lucky to be coming home again

I’m lucky we’re in love in every way

Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed

Lucky to be coming home someday

Beef Pepper Rice by Heart2Heart

By | Recipes, Yummy! | 7 Comments

Javier celebrated his birthday last week and he wanted to invite his cousins ( since their parents were out of town ) and his Ninong Quito over

p1150806.JPGp1150807.jpgp1150808.jpg

  We decided to serve our newly discovered homemade Beef Pepper Rice.  My three boys love Pepper Lunch, so in search of dishes I have to think of that they will like, I decided to try and make Beef Pepper Rice at home! We all know it will never be the same…. but for something homemade, they liked it!! Whew! What a relief!  

So this is dedicated to my friends, Jeroen and Cecile who own Pepper Lunch! And of course we will still go to Pepper Lunch to have the real thing!

p1150813.JPGp1150816.JPGp1150817.JPG

Javier was looking for his cake… I was not prepared! as we were really supposed to have his celebration on Sunday, so he got his own candle 🙂

p1150812.jpg

and he thought of it himself to make his own cake with Golden Spoon yogurt – Cake batter and just chocolate!

p1150823.JPGp1150824.jpgp1150827.JPG

Everyone of course wanted Golden Spoon also, so that was for dessert 🙂 It’s a good thing we always have stock in our freezer!

p1150831.JPG

This is how we made our version of Beef Pepper Rice:

I showed my cook, Edna, the photo of Beef Pepper Rice from the mousepad Cecile gave me during the launch of Pepper Lunch Shangri-la 🙂  ( Pepper Lunch Launch Feb 4, 2009 )

 p1150895.JPG

I told her to just copy how it looked

  I had her get all my hardly used sizzling plates which came in different designs 🙂

p1150797.JPGp1150800.JPGp1150801.JPG

Then I had to buy 5 more to accomodate the guests who were coming over

p1150774.JPG

For the beef, I just used Australian Shabu Shabu beef – sliced like Shabu Shabu so it is thin. You can also use sukiyaki beef.  

But next time, I will try Wagyu or a better kind of beef so the kids will be happier 🙂

I bought fresh Japanese corn 

 p1150803.JPG

and we bought Japanese Yakiniku sauces – There was spicy, sweet and then regular – James said that it is best when mixed all together – so that is what we will do next time rather than having all three bottles then adding them one by one.  I bought them at Shopwise 

p1150953.JPGp1150952.JPG

 I brought out my salts, pepper and Bragg’s ( in place of Knorr or Maggi )- this is for those who still want to add taste

p1150820.JPG

 and imported Japanese rice
