So the other day i went all out on grocery shopping, bought loads of healthy food cause i felt like it was time for me to get back into the routine of things. If i do say so myself i make quite nice vegetarian fajitas! can’t be too unhealthy apart from the bread and salsa?

Last week i went to dinner with my parents at Capital Grill, and it was great! service, food, atmosphere.. all of it was good, it was a really enjoyable evening. I had the shrimp stuffed with crab and lobster for a main and it melted in my mouth.

Wore my new heels and and old dress to dinner, at least i was comfortable.

Last night my parents, Michael (who’s visiting from Dublin), and I went to Saltgrass steakhouse. Michael finished off a 24 oz. steak, i had some amazing grilled shrimp! Managed to finish off a bottle of wine with my mother as well.

went to dinner with my parents, and then we went to the cinema to see new years eve. it wasn’t the best movie but at least it was entertaining, even a bit of a tearjerker! I’ll put up pictures of today’s shopping tomorrow.

On New Years Eve we trekked up through the snow to a mongolian yurt, where a five course dinner was made and served right before our eyes. After many bottles of wine we walked back down to the resort through the snow, and after falling once i realised it was pretty slippery outside. It was definitely an experience to say the least! never mind going to the bathroom which was outside the yurt.. so cold!

On Christmas Eve Rob & Nicole came over. We all sat down at the table (which i made so pretty) and ate more food than i thought was possible! afterwards we watched the traditional cartoons, played some games, drank about 6 litres of wine, and then opened presents.

My parents went all out this christmas. An iPhone 4, and iPad 2, and some books, a juicy couture sweater, and more! Even got a gift card to Sephora from Nicole. I think i wasn’t the only one who missed Emmelie, but at least i get to see her in March!

Mum got a bit emotional when i gave her and pappa their present, but i think they liked it!

Dad went and picked up dinner for us yesterday, had Pho soup. if you’ve never eaten it before i highly recommend it. so yummy and warms you up in the winter time! need to find a good place to order it from in london…

The first meal out i had here in Dallas was with my mum at Chili’s. Their queso (pictured above) used to be much better, but their Caribbean salad is to die for. Loving the free refills as well

my two favourite types of rolls are california and ebi tempura. california is easy and you always know what you’re getting, most likely if you order a california roll you wont be disappointed! my second favourite is ebi tempura.. i like the mixture of textures, crunchy and then the soft rice. oh god, now i’m hungry all over again!

on Monday im flying to Dallas to spend christmas and new years with my parents. feels weird since we’ve been in mexico for the last two years, but i have to say i am pretty excited about some swedish christmas food and a christmas tree. although i wouldn’t mind quesadillas and palm trees

our christmas tree in Dallas.. moms pretty good at decorating!
