Tortilla Wraps

Nowadays with the temperature reaching to as much as 35°C  in Metro Manila, I find it so hard to prepare elaborate meals that would need staying in front of the stove for long.  What Josef and I do is to cook something that we could eat cold and won’t need lots of time to prepare. [...]

Lovely Saturday, Quiet Sunday

It’s been a long time, literally, that is! For the past few days, all I came up for a blog were one and two-liner features that made it to my most read list, just the same.  Anyway, I just thought of updating you all with the weekend I had. Yesterday, I met a friend way [...]

Alugbati

Looking at the fruits which resemble blackberries, I was fascinated. I was looking for some subjects to practice my macro shots on early this morning when I noticed these dark purple fruits hanging in a trellis which hubby made a few months ago. I don’t eat alugbati, preferring the more popular camote tops  and the [...]

This “hanging amihan” thing is carrying it too far, bringing intermittent rains the whole day making the atmosphere even colder than it should be. I hate this feeling of being indisposed because you can’t lift your head for long, feeling woozy all the time,  coupled with sore muscles, aching joints and a slight fever – [...]

I can’t remember the last time I ate this kind of [...]

We have two grafted Calamansi trees which I planted many years ago and they haven’t stopped bearing fruit.  They are part of our garden landscape. Here in our country it is [...]

Did Someone Say It’s A Thai Dish?

I had to cook early for dinner because I haven’t made my blog yet for today.  It’s not really that much of a problem since I still haven’t visited the blogging clues they churn out everyday here at WordPress, to make this daily challenge easy.  Maybe when I’ve gone out of subjects to blog about, [...]

Chicken In Red Curry Paste and Jubileum Ensaymada

Tried a packet of the ingredients which Nissa brought home from Thailand.  It really taste different when you have  authentic Thai ingredients.  I  used  one whole deboned  chicken breast here and two small potatoes.  Hmmm…yummy! One of my nieces gave me a box of this Jubileum ensaymada.  First time I’ve tasted  such a silky soft [...]

I Love My Shoes

Just have to visit the mall after attending the 9am mass today.  Hubby wants a new pair of maong pants, daughter needs to buy a bigger luggage for her trip to Thailand, son  is attending his regular workout at the gym all at the same place, Robinson’s Galleria, so I really have no choice but [...]
