And not just any tuna. It has to be canned tuna flakes in vegetable oil. And it has to be cooked a particular way and served a particular way too. When Sinigang na Baboy or pepperoni pizza, my two other comfort foods, are too complicated to prepare or will take too long to arrive, I [...]

The past few months I’ve been involved in food fights, made friends with aliens in my own solar system, been called names, written on walls, kicked ass and got beaten in games of Scrabble, grown more than a dozen potted plants and have been poked a lot. And it’s all good fun!
I’m talking about Facebook. [...]

An old officemate shared this with me. We both don’t know who wrote this. If you do, please let me know so I can give him/her proper credit.
I’ve always kept this poem in my files. Whenever a friend of mine or I come to a crossroads, this piece always comes to mind. I’m sharing it [...]

Therefore, pumpkin = ulam… and not dessert!
My apprehension to try Pumpkin Pie for the first time could then be understandable I suppose. I grew up associating pumpkin puree as baby food or a delicious soup starter. But dessert? Not quite, not quite.
My Aunt is a [...]

This is one of the simplest appetizers to make and one of the most delicious! These were prepared by my Aunt and myself. I don’t know which was more fun — exchanging stories with my Aunt while preparing these babies, or consuming each appetizer with much gusto!
