Wifely Steps

I opened an atis and guess what greeted me?

A friggin’ huge ant! It freaked me out a little bit.

Then again its presence was a testament to how sweet the atis was. Oh yes, how sweet it was!
Happy Monday! Hope your week is as sweet as this atis!

A salad for lunch. Whoopdeedoo. I like salads, but having it in the middle of a stressful workday just doesn’t cut it for me. I know I have to enjoy this healthy meal, but it’s so difficult sometimes!
Stress eating comes so easily, especially during the past couple of weeks. While manageable, my work load has [...]

Dining at Mario’s restaurant is always a treat. I already know what to order when the name comes up — Caesar’s salad, steak. Classic Mario’s dishes. During an intimate bloggers’ gathering at the restaurant’s Tomas Morato branch, that’s exactly what I ordered! It was an evening of good food and good company.

Oh-wow! Oysters Rockefeller
I’ve [...]

These Halloween donuts from Krispy Kreme are so cute. Guess which ones were mine and which ones were my husband’s?

All hail the Bibingka Souffle of C2 (Classic Cuisine) restaurant. I’m no culinary expert, but my tastebuds did tell me that this souffle was perfection. How the heck did a bibingka cake turn into a souffle? I have no technical words for you. All I know is that I was blown away.
I drizzled my [...]

“It’s just another manic Monday…” If you know who sang that song, we belong to the same generation. Heehee.
Would you like a cup of coffee to kick off this week? How do you take your coffee? I’ll have some brewed coffee with two sugars and two teaspoons of cream please. Have a great week! [...]

One of my all-time favorite breakfasts! Corned beef, egg and rice (though there’s no rice in the pic). I love corned beef with onions, especially when the onions are almost caramelized. I love it with shredded cabbage. I love it with diced potatoes that are slightly golden. I love it over garlic fried rice. I [...]

Kuha sa isang bahagi ng Max’s Restaurant sa Greenbelt.
Kapag nagkekwento ang aking lola tungkol sa kanyang kabataan, itim-at-puti ang palabas sa aking imahinasyon. Aliw na aliw ako kapag sinasabi niyang nakakabili na siya ng damit sa sampung centavo. Kahit sa ukay-ukay walang ganyan kamura diba!
Nang makita ko ang dekorasyong ito sa Max’s, natuwa ako [...]

Hola! H & I hit the Mexican Food Festival at Mandarin Oriental last week. Our Mexican food experience has always been limited to fastfood (Mexicali, the tacos at Pancake House, Miggy’s). So when we learned about this gourmet Mexican food buffet, we said “Si! Si!” faster than Speedy Gonzalez ever would.

I was looking forward [...]

The last raisin in a slice of raisin bread. The last spoonful of bagoong when I’ve still got plenty of sliced green mangoes. The last grape. The last kangkong in Sinigang.
And yes, the last orange.
Sadness.

Oh, you know what I mean.
Er, do you?
