Mum's birthday Part 1:Stuffed Bell Pepper

I personally, love Saturdays as you know the next day is a Sunday and no work and all play but on Sundays there is a boredom atmosphere.Generally,next day you got to go to work and a sad feeling takes over..ha! ha! ha! (too dramatic) But we can't help it we have to get our asses back at work every Monday,so I really don't like Sundays...Saturdays are far better nah...

You can relax with a book or watch films or even party out with friends,weekends are always super good.

But today is special not because its just a random Saturday,instead we celebrated my mother's belated birthday.I know! I know! why 'belated' because my grandmother passed away and for a year we are not to celebrate any occasion..so now you know.
