I had no idea this how it would feel like. I have omitted bits of pieces in a recipe before but this the first time it felt really dry. Bland. Still. Incomplete. Thus no feelings. For some reason though Vincent loved it. Out of 12 pieces he ate 7. He kept coming back…

Ah! The sadness in heart aren’t melting. If it snowed here in the Philippines I’d be drowned in it. I was however craving for anything sweet so my aunt’s cloyingly sweet and mangoless mango float will suffice. You see I was working on a theory that she brought that as a present because…
Pink Toasty Crepes

I have always loved croissant even when I didn’t know what it was called or how it was pronounced. Yes. Bread aing nd butter is one of my weaknesses. The person who invented this buttery, flaky piece of bread should be sainted. Or maybe he (she) already is. So I’ve seen one of…
almost mille crepe
Flour is a staple in our kitchen. There are a number of things I can make out of it. A cake. A doughnut. A pancake. A dinner roll. A cruller and then some. Of course not everything I make turns out edible. The very first pizza I made was so hard and undercooked…
