Pockets of Chocolate

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

This bowl of chocolates is a constant on my parents’ coffee table. It is settled right beside a stack of coffee books. I find it great relaxation to pick up a huge book and leaf through the pages while munching on a miniature chocolate bar. Yum! Of course, you can only have these in [...]


LP 10: Condensed Milk Sandwich (Food Memories from Your Childhood)

Monday, May 29th, 2006

This 10th issue of Lasang Pinoy gave me an excuse to indulge in one of my favorite childhood snacks — the condensed milk sandwich.
I remember running to the dining room after school, then hastily parting a pan de sal (which I also did for this LP, hence the uneven grouch-like look of the bread!), drizzling [...]


Turon!

Turon with langka and saba.
Sarap talaga ng meriendang Pinoy! Anyone want one?


Day or Night

Friday, May 26th, 2006

This water lily blooms only during the day. I love seeing its petals wide open in the sunlight. In the evenings, I see it shy away from the moonlight, its petals closed and seemingly dreaming of sweet, sweet things.
How about you? When are your “petals” at their finest? Are you a day person or an [...]


Mad for Apples

Thursday, May 25th, 2006

Apple is one of my all-time favorite scents. It energizes me! Maybe because the scent makes me hungry for apples? Hehe. Seriously I love how light and crisp this scent is. My Mom makes apple-scented candles. I love lighting them in our bathroom. The scent of apples make me feel gooood - the happy, [...]


3 years!

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

Three years of marriage. Wow. I have to admit, it hasn’t been easy. Really. Honestly.
I still have to get used to his remote control hogging. He still has to get used to me leaving books all over the place. There are other things that can irritate one or the other — forgetting to pay the [...]

Kiddie Party Food

Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006

This is one of the best party foods ever! When I was a kid, I remember my Mom and aunts sliding a barbecue stick into a hotdog and topping it with marshmallows. They made lots of those. Then they’d stick these snack delights into a head of lettuce (or was it cabbage?) or a [...]


Cupcake Celebration

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

Instead of the usual cake for celebrations, why not bake cupcakes and present them in this pretty pretty way? My sister P prepared this for our other sister’s graduation party last year. P baked chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and strawberry cupcakes with vanilla frosting (not too sure about that though). In the [...]


Afternoon conversations

Friday, May 19th, 2006

It’s a warm afternoon. You and I are meeting up at a cafe for the first time. Don’t worry, you’ll know it’s me — small girl with the messy hair, black t-shirt, a bead necklace, blue jeans and flip-flops. I wave at you and wave back. After a quick hug, we settle down into [...]
