Cooking with stuffed squid is creative and delicious

Posted by SailorGirlfriend.com on Wednesday, May 29, 2013,
My parents were originally from Vietnam so I grow up in America eating a lot of Vietnamese food. One of the dishes my mom would make is "muc don thit" which is stuffed squid. She usually uses ground pork as stuffing. For this dish, I used ground chicken that I found at Food Lion. I also added some smoked sausages in the dish to give it a bit of spice. The squids looked cute all stuffed. Although some may not like squid, it's very delicious once you get used to the texture. We usually use toot...

Pretty Pictures of Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Williamsburg, Va

Posted by Sailorgirlfriend.com on Tuesday, May 21, 2013,
We went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for the first time in May 2013 and we were very happy with our adventure. The rollercoasters were scary, there was a lot to see with themed European countries and animals and the weather was perfect. See the pictures I took from that pretty day at the park below. 

We bought a fun pass that's good for the whole summer because it was the same price as a one day pass for $70. However, if I were to do it all over again, I would go on the AAA website to get dis...

Bought a flight and then flights are cheaper the next month?

Posted by Sailorgirlfriend.com on Saturday, May 11, 2013,
Have you ever booked a flight 5 months ahead of time for your trip and then it goes down a month later? Is 5 months too early to buy a flight for a good deal? I am trying to find a flight to Washington DC for October but prices are kind of high right now. I wonder if it'll go down in a couple of weeks or months?

I cried when Dawn back stabbed Brenda on Survivor Caramoan (season 26, episode 14) tonight

Posted by Sailorgirlfriend.com on Thursday, May 9, 2013,
I saw Survivor tonight where Crybaby Dawn brutally backstabbed Brenda Lowe and when Brenda said "it's hurts", it hurted me too. I've never been so heated up about a player's backstab but this one was so wrong. I don't know what was in it for Dawn for allying with Cochran over sweet, loyal Brenda. Dawn is not going to get picked over Cochran if she is in the final 2 because of her bad move.

I know it's just a game but there have been good alliances that make you a more likeable player but Dawn'...

Advantages and Disadvantages for being a housewife without kids

Posted by Sailorgirlfriend.com on Sunday, May 5, 2013,
I've been a housewife for the last 3.5 months and realized that there are many advantages and disadvantages for being a housewife without kids. We've been married for 6 months now and after my husband left the military when his term was over, we moved across country 4 months ago for a new adventure for his new job as a civilian. I had to leave my job behind as well.

At first I was scared about being home with just our dog while my husband was at work. I overcame that fear and it helps to have...

Wearing wedding ring on the left hand and wearing engagement ring on the right hand or both on one hand?

Posted by SailorGirlfriend.com on Saturday, May 4, 2013, In : Wedding 
Recently, I've been pondering about wearing my wedding ring on my left hand and wearing my engagement ring on my right hand. I'm trying to think if anyone else has done that. Most of my friends and colleagues wear both their wedding ring and engagement ring on the left ring finger. I've been doing this for the last 6 months (since I got married) as well. However, I feel like my engagement ring looks better by itself. It also reminds me of when he proposed and that was a great memory. My rings...
