New Frame of Mine

It has been over a month of me living in D.C. and I already fell in love with this place. For a second,the thought of living here came across my mind. That was scary. It's not that I don't want to come back and spend the rest of my life here,but to actually do that, there're a lot of paperworks required,I need to figure out if this is what i really want. And if it is, then how am I gonna come back and live here ( legally,of course), and how am I gonna do this when I have 3 more years left in the university back in Thailand. That’s what make it hard to imagine.

Lately,I've been having a hard time figuring out what i really want to do for my future. There were so many thoughts going on in my head. I swear,I thought I was going to explode. I mean,I do know what I want, what makes me happy,but it’s not just one thing. I have so many dreams and each one of them going in the different direction. I used to think it’s ridiculous how one can get so stressful of what they want to do or what they really want to be. I would be like, "Just do what you love, how hard that could be?". I end up laughing at myself now that I know how confusing it can actually be,trying to figure out what you really want. Maybe because it's a life changing decision, it is what I will end up with for the rest of my life. So I need to take my time to think things through. I asked myself almost every day ,"Do I want to work for a fashion magazine, living my life in New York? or Do I want to be a mom, having a bakery shop of my own, and living a simple life?". I wanted to know, so that I can put in all my energy ,my hopes, and my focus to really make it happen. I kept thinking and trying to figure it out 'til I came to the point where I realized there's nothing I should be worry about. I have so many dreams. True. But who said I can have just one? Go for them, see how it turn out, BUT NEVER EVER FORGET TO HAVE FUN. -Katy

The Breakfast Sandwich

The ingredients. ( make 2 sandwiches)

- 2 slices of rye bread, or any bread you like.

The first layer (Mashed Sweet Peas)

- 1 cup frozen sweet peas (or as much as you like.)

- Garlic salts to taste.

- A pinch of cumin.

- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

The second layer. ( Sauteed Mushrooms )

- 1 cup sliced button mushrooms ( Again,it can be any kind of mushroom,depend on how you like.)

- 1 tablespoon of butter ( Go for coconut oil if you want the healthier option)

- 1 tablesppon of chopped garlic.

- 1 tablespoon of thyme leaves.

- Salts and Black peppers to taste

The third layer ( Grilled Chicken.)

- One medium size chicken breast.

- One tablespoon of low sodium soy sauce.

- One teaspoon of dills

- One teaspoon of cumin.

- One teaspoon of smoke paprika

- One teaspoon of chopped garlic.

The forth layer (The omelette)

- 2 eggs

- Salts and black peppers to taste.

Let’s get started.

1. For the first layer,start with boiling water,add in 1 cup of frozen peas. When it turns soft,drain out the water. Make sure you dry them well,we don’t want to eat mushy peas. In a bolw,mash the peas roughly. I like mine chunky but if you want it to be creamy. Keeping mashing. Add in some garlic salts,a pinch of cumin,and a teaspoon of Dijon Mustard.

2. For the second layer. Put a pan on a medium heat. Add in butter,garlic. Stir until the garlic turn gold,releasing its natural oils. Then stir in one sup of sliched mushrooms ( Remember, when mushrooms get cooked,it will release its water and shrink, so it’s better not to add in anymore water. ) When it’s done,sprinkle some thyme leaves on top.

3. For the chicken as a third layer, cut it into a bite sized chunks. In a bolw,add in soy sauce,dill,cumin,smoked paprika,chopped garlic. Mix them and add in chicken. I normally marinate the chicken for like an hour but the longer,the better it tastes.

4. Time to make some omelette. I am pretty sure you all know how to do that. So,I’m just gonna skip this step and leave it on you guys.

Hope you enjoy.
