new or old?

It's Memorial Day.

I'm happy for a day off. =) 

I was looking at some of my old blogs, and I came back to my tumblr one, which gave me a very nice feeling when I saw it again. I'm having a hard time deciding...

Should I keep with this blog...or go back to my tumblr one?  www.sunkist365.tumblr.com?

Housewarming Gift

Thinking of a housewarming gift for my brother and sister-in-law was not an easy task. I wanted to learn from my last mistake when I got him a GINORMOUS overpriced painting from Z Gallerie.  What was I thinking?! Getting something so taste specific for another person (who is VERY taste specific).  Well after putting some thought, this is what I came up with: 

I bought a cutting board, colander, and lemon juicer from HomeGoods and added some of my pantry staples.

I made them pickled Jalapenos.  The jalapenos and olive oil didn't fit in my "gift basket" but it's going to be part of the gift.

I'm happy with the gift.  It's looks fun but more importantly, it will be useful!

Chipotle Lemon Marinaded Tilapia

So sad.  I worked so hard this weekend to try to upload my video from my digital camera on to my laptop.  In the process, some how I accidentally deleted the entire video. =(  Maybe it's time I invest in a camcorder? 

Chipotle Lemon Marinaded Tilapia
Handful of chopped cilantro
2 large cloves of garlic
1 lemon, juiced
2 chipotle in adobo sauce
1/2 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp salt and pepper to taste
2 tilapia filets
1 tbs olive oil

In a blender or food processor combine all ingredients except for tilapia filets.  Blend untill smooth and mixed.  Pour over tilapia and marinade for 4-8 hours. 
Grill on high heat.  Flipping only once.  Tilapia can break apart very easy.
