    Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend.

    Its been oh so cold around here and busy as ever. After the holidays its been work work work. Have 2 wips that I started before christmas for my RH save, Hope to get some time next week to work on them.

    Shayla gave me a big scare, got home from work on Thursday to find that she was having trouble standing up and limping very badly.It broke my heart to watch her trying to stand up to greet me, she usually comes running with a huge tail wag and a stuffie in her mouth ready to play. Mom said she fell on some ice during her walk, vet says its a bad bruise and a sprain on her left back leg. So she is been having lots of rest, which she cant stand cause she is a very active dog, but is doing much better. She still is having trouble with stairs so I have to help her a bit, she is bunny hopping them, and its hard cause she needs to use the stairs to get outside my back door that is between two stairwells.

    Oh Dawn honey,
    I am so sorry to hear about your poor sweetie Maisie. I have tears in my eyes reading about her. I am so glad to hear that she is now on her way to better health. Give her a belly rub for me and a kiss from Shayla.

    Svend
    such a fun picture of the gnomes and the snowman. thanks for sharing the
    Winter postcard from Denmark, it looks so relaxing and pretty.

    Apple
    your households are lovely, you make such beautiful sims. Its nice to see you creating again, I have many of your cc free sims in my downloads.

    Bren
    did you take that picture in my backyard, I swear that is what it has looked like over here for the last few weeks. Bitter cold, my outer kitchen window has a layer of ice on it, it makes pretty patterns but I could use a little warmer weather.
    Amazing job with your new households.
    I got the 3 vampires in my MH and I think I shall be adding the gravediggers there as well.

    AIRIS
    The Hook is so lovely, love the bright warm feeling form your use of color. The fountain area is very nice.

    leep
    Chole and Apple are fantastic. She is beautiful and your horses markings are so very pretty.

    marystarbright
    Lovely Botique, what a great place for sims to shop relax and eat. Love the garden by the message table and that you added a playground for the little ones.

    loobylou
    Darkside Dwelling is perfect for MH. the reds you used are wonderful.
    Betty's Farm is lovely. I really like the water and landscaping

    Thank you Rose. Your always so kind. The first night was very hard since she could not do the stairs and insisted on going out for her potty breaks, I am a shortie at just an inch or 2 above 5 feet and Shayla is a big dog, who weighs just about as much as me. I was so scared about lifting her up and carrying her outside. Still not sure how I managed, but we got those potty breaks done.

    The Hook is a great store for our sims to enjoy visiting AIRIS6962 :) Very nice exterior of the shop! The patterns on the exterior look great. It looks great how you have done the pool area. The sculpture in the middle of the pool looks great. It is nice how you have placed the seat benches there for sims to sit, relax and enjoy the sunshine and outdoors air and watch people swimming. It looks nice how you have done the flower displays outside the front of the store. Nice to have the seats there too for sims to enjoy sitting outdoors and watching other sims as they come to do their shopping at the store. Nice furnishing of the interior. It looks great how you have set up the displays and items on the shelves. The posters on the walls look great. It looks great how you have placed the bottles on the register counter. The clothes racks and shoes racks through the store look great. Nice sitting area where you have the back to back sofas. Sims will enjoy buying elixirs or gems at your store. It is great that you have set up rooms where sims can also use the gem cutter and create their own elixirs using the alchemy machine. Great to have the vending machines in your store for sims to get a can of drink or a chocolate bar from. It looks great the ceiling lights that you have used and how you have placed them in the store. Nice sitting room for sims to relax on the seat there and watch tv with the nice plant themed décor for them to see nearby.
    It is a great store to buy and sell goods!

    Thank you very much for your comments, dear Rose. You always apreciate all the details and bright our days with your comments. Never change !! :D Big hugs

    Thank you very much to Poly, Sharon and everybody for their comments of my shop.

    Have been adding recs to everyones fabulous creations this weekend! So impressed and Congrats to Leep45508 for "Fave of the Week!"

    Dawnrob and Polysporin, how are Maisie and Shayla doing? I have been thinking of you and hope both are feeling better.

    A special shout out to rosemow and blacksheba1973 for the wonderful way you are!

    I have been looking for work and had a job interview on Wednesday. Friday I found out I did not get the position so I have been doing some reflection this weekend and beginning to feel better. I think I would have done very well for them but as one door closes another one will open with greater opportunity!

    My hubby´s favourite: Spanish Omelet :mrgreen:

    tortilla-whole250x211.jpg

    "No doubt about it, the Tortilla Española or Spanish Omelet is the most commonly served dish in Spain. It is also called Tortilla de Patata or Potato Omelet. Bars and cafés serve it as a tapa or appetizer, but it is often served as a light dinner in Spanish homes. Because it is easy to transport, the Spanish make bocadillos or sandwiches by placing a piece between two pieces of a baguette".
    You can eat it as a hot dish or as a cold one. It´s yummy :D

    There are lots of variations of tortillas or omelets: with chorizo, with green pepper,...
    Prep Time: 10 minutes
    Cook Time: 25 minutes
    Total Time: 35 minutes
    Yield: 6 Servings Main Dish
    Ingredients:

    6-7 medium potatoes, peeled
    1 whole yellow onion (Optional. I add powdered onion to the eggs because my hubby doesn´t like onion, but I like it the flavour :wink: )
    5-6 large eggs
    2-3 cups of olive oil for pan frying (Virgin olive oil better)
    Salt to taste

    Preparation:

    This tortilla española or tortilla de patata makes 8-10 servings as an appetizer, or 6 servings as a main course.

    -How to Make Tortilla Española:
    Cut the peeled potatoes in half lengthwise. Then, with the flat side on the cutting surface, slice the potato in pieces approximately 1/8" thick. If you slice them a bit thick, don’t worry – it will simply take a bit longer for them to cook.

    Peel and chop the onion into 1/4" pieces. Put potatoes and onions into a bowl and mix them together. Salt the mixture.

    In a large, heavy, non-stick frying pan, heat the olive oil on medium high heat. Carefully place the potato and onion mixture into the frying pan, spreading them evenly over the surface. The oil should almost cover the potatoes. You may need to turn down the heat slightly, so the potatoes do not burn.

    Leave in pan until the potatoes are cooked. If you can poke a piece of potato with a spatula and it easily breaks in two, your potatoes are done. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon or spatula and allow oil to drain.

    Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat by hand with a whisk or fork. Pour in the potato onion mixture. Mix together with a large spoon.

    Pour 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil into a small, non-stick frying pan (aprox. 9-10”) and heat on medium heat. Be careful not to get the pan too hot because the oil will burn - or the tortilla will! When hot, stir the potato onion mixture once more and “pour” into the pan and spread out evenly. Allow the egg to cook around the edges. Then you can carefully lift up one side of the omelet to check if the egg has slightly “browned.” The inside of the mixture should not be completely cooked and the egg will still be runny.

    When the mixture has browned on the bottom, you are ready to turn it over to cook the other side. Take the frying pan to a sink. Place a large dinner plate (12”) upside down over the frying pan. With one hand on the frying pan handle and the other on top of the plate to hold it steady, quickly turn the frying pan over and the omelet will “fall” onto the plate. Place the frying pan back on the range and put just enough oil to cover the bottom and sides of the pan. Let the pan warm for 30 seconds or so. Now slide the omelet into the frying pan. Use the spatula to shape the sides of the omelet. Let the omelet cook for 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the tortilla sit in the pan for 2 minutes.

    Slide the omelet onto a plate to serve.
