So you are out in the woods? Hating the busy life in the city? I am with you. I think the best thing about living in the country is the safety. But the downside of it? Slow internet connection, I know I have had some of my friends complain about the same issues about dial up. Its one thing I dont have patience to, with my school work I need to do online I would be struggling to get to necessary websites and I would be in trouble.

I am an internet junkie, like I would be completely lost without internet a day. So, I found a solution for my friends, this broadband satellite acts like a wi-fi connection despite the fact that its satellite. It is amazingly fast. Now, you do not need to fall asleep while waiting for your favorite website to come up with your old, slow dial-up so its time to get rid of it.

Back when the internet has just became public, back where I used to live, even though it wasn't really in the countryside I was having a hard time with my connection but now if there's something like this broadband satellite then internet would be more accessible. So why not get one of these for faster connection.

I cannot believe it's almost April now, can you? It feels as if the time flies a lot faster as the years go by, why is that?

Only good thing about it is that it's now spring again! I don't mind the snow but it's not my favorite. So what about where you are? Still freezing? or too hot? I prefer to be in between obviously.

Today I braved myself fooling around in the kitchen making some Filipino dish again, the result wasn't bad. But tomorrow night I am planning on making some pasta out of the ordinary pasta I normally do. And found this one recipe.

• 1 pound(s) rigatoni
• 3 tablespoon(s) olive oil
• 1 package(s) (10-ounce) frozen spinach, thawed
• 2 cup(s) (about 1 pound) ricotta
• 5 tablespoon(s) grated Parmesan
• 1/2 teaspoon(s) grated nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
• 1/4 teaspoon(s) fresh-ground black pepper
• 6 ounce(s) fontina, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 450°F. Oil a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the rigatoni until almost done, about 12 minutes. Drain. Put the pasta in the prepared baking dish and toss with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
3. Meanwhile, squeeze as much of the water as possible from the spinach. Put the spinach in a food processor and puree with the ricotta, 3 tablespoons of the Parmesan, the nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in half the fontina.
4. Stir the spinach mixture into the pasta. Top with the remaining fontina and Parmesan. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over the top. Bake the pasta until the top is golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes.
5. Variation: You can substitute another chunky pasta, such as penne rigate, penne, ziti or fusilli. Boil all of these one or two minutes less.
6. Wine Recommendation: A delicately flavored white such as Orvieto will complement the mild ricotta nicely. And, because Orvieto is not oaky, the wine has no bitter tannin to clash with the slightly bitter spinach and nutmeg.

Sounds very delicious!

So we love country. Did you know that I noticed that 80 per cent of the radio stations in Ventral New York is country. It is not a valid research study, it only adheres to my own observation when I am playing around with the tuning of my FM radio. Because of that, I get sick of keep turning it over and over to some kind of music that I have in the mood for. Hard rock, R n' B, classic, you name it, but country. I used to listen a lot with country music back in the Philippines, it seemed like the people's favorite down there.

Since I love the country now, and perhaps everything country and the.. Texas Cowboys seem intriguing and acquiring RodeoHouston tickets to see the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show will be a fun thing to do to walk around check out anything about the Rodeo. Would love to see the Livestock Show as well, I love fairs, the food the people and the music is the best part! Dancing to the music once you got a few beer is way so much fun.

If you like country and everything country or know someone that likes Livestock Shows, then this is your thing. It should be fun. Paying this much with way so much fun is always worth the price, with the weather getting better and Texas weather is always beautiful.

I am on the hunt! I am on the hunt again for stocks to buy, for some diversity in my portfolio. I have a few that I am very pleased with the result so far. But just like the weather, the stock market is just as finicky and you just never know the next day, it could completely turn around 180 degrees.

I have a couple that I am eying at but I still would need more time to watch it. Any ideas? I am realizing the importance of getting paid dividends now. As opposed to my original belief that it doesn't give justice to my concept that it gives me overall gains. Now that I am taking all these profits in in my portfolio, then by all means I'm going after stocks that pay dividends.


Despite numerous attempt to keep my Apple stocks I just thought in the end that the gains is considerably much lower if I use the capital on other stocks that are priced just 10 percent of this one. See for yourself here how the progress of Apple has moved way up on the list. Click here.

It's a beautiful day. It almost tells me that I can do things outdoors, of course this weather is very unpredictable, it could drop drastically in a matter of minutes, even seconds.

It also means that if we have pending work in the house then we could work on that. I was looking at this stainless steel kitchen sinks that I have always wanted. Not that the kitchen is my favorite part of the house but I know these things last and this could actually make me want to cook more.
