Oh no, I burned the water!

Thursday, February 24th, 2005

Okay, that’s not true. BUT! I’ve had my share of cooking bloopers.
I once tried making sauteed beansprouts. Easy right? I crumbled half a Knorr shrimp cube over the veggies while sauteing. Yummy. Then towards the end of the cooking, I added salt and pepper to taste. SILLY ME. The dish was overly salty and I [...]


Pritong Talong & Puffi Cones ver. 3

Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005

This is one of H’s favorite dishes. Whenever we have eggplants at home, this is a must-have dish for him. Thanks to Ting Aling for this recipe! Here’s Ting’s recipe and a picture of her fried aubergines.
What I did: I immersed the sliced eggplants in soy sauce for a couple of minutes. Then I [...]


Catnaps

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005

This trio looks so peaceful, taking a catnap in the middle of the day. I’m not a cat lover, but don’t these kitties look so precious?
A busy workday can take a toll on me. To help myself get re-energized, I take short naps sometimes. I do it in the privacy of a small meeting [...]


Come again!

Monday, February 21st, 2005

We found this sign on a food stall. Hmmm. Can I say the same thing about my blog traffic? I hope so!
Happy week everyone. Hope you had a great weekend and have an even greater week to look forward to!


Picture! Picture!

Do peanuts really make you smart? I’ve always considered peanuts as brain food. And I love eating nuts. Maybe I was a squirrel in a past life.

Bored with butter? I mixed in some strawberry jam with butter and ta-da! A yummy blend. I didn’t finish it all though because I was afraid to get a [...]


Sassy’s Chicken, Tomatoes and Pineapple Stew

Wednesday, February 16th, 2005

Sassy’s recipes and yummy pictures never fail to leave me salivating by my computer keyboard. Mmmmm. Okay, that’s not a nice visual. Let’s move on. I’m serious though that her recipes are always excellent and are even more excellent when you try them out. I can vouch for that.
Last weekend I tried cooking her [...]


Happy Valentine’s Day!

Tuesday, February 15th, 2005

Rose petals on the floor, on the dining table, on the kitchen counter. A room lit illuminated softly by maroon plum-scented tealights. A table set with a bowl of shell macaroni, two kinds of pasta sauce (red and white), little bowls of tuna, parmesan, mushrooms, capers and pesto. Two cups of rice and a bowl [...]


Let’s speak Simlish

I just bought this.
Now if only I had a computer.


Hi Rachael Ray! I’m your biggest fan!

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

I’ve been watching so much TV the past weeks. Reality shows are becoming my weakness. Monday: The Apprentice. Tuesday: Manhunt. Wednesday: Amazing Race & American Idol. Thursday: American Idol & Outback Jack. Friday: I have a semi-social life so no TV on this night!
Besides reality shows, cooking shows are another favorite of mine. I find [...]


Happy New Week!

Monday, February 7th, 2005

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge — That myth is more potent than history.I believe that dreams are more powerful than facts — That hope always triumphs over experience — That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.
