I know most people would agree that eggs are the easiest breakfast fair to make. Some like it scrambled, fried or over easy. I for one prefer it scrambled, soft and fluffy, not overdone yet not runny. I’ve been warned since grade school that each person is supposed to have one serving of…

Churros con Chocolate
There was a time in my teen age life where all I thought about was Gaia Moore. Gaia Moore is the female protagonist in one of Francine Pascal’s book series Fearless. The Fearless series made me scrap all of my SVH (Sweet Valley High)collection (also by Francine Pascal) and focus on Gaia’s life….
sweet potato: sugar coated, fried, steamed and free
When you live in a place where farming is the life that feeds most in the community. You expect to receive a few if not a lot of generous gifts from a few of those who’ve worked for you. In the past few days, a middle aged woman who sold a parcel of…
What's with kids these days?
My best little pal who gives me the tightest (too tight he complains he can’t breath! he’s the one to blame!) Vince came calling me about noon today (it happened to be very humid as of late) and… Vince: Achi, Achi, ate Achi (big sis Achi), tingnan mo oh. ( look) He holds…

Sometimes Breakfast: BBQ and Cucumber & Mint Salad
Are you the kind of person who has specific types of food eaten on a specific time of the day? Let’s say cereals, pastry and coffee or bacon and eggs for breakfast? I sometimes don’t obey this tradition observed by many. The other day I found pieces of pork marinating in soy sauce,…
Something Filipino, Likes and Dislikes
If I had to choose a foodie group I’d belong to It would at least take half my lifetime to pick. I have a very delicate specific comfort zone and I’m a big believer of acquired taste. I love most Filipino foods, home grown or handed down by invaders. Sinigang (Pork or Fish…
Red Radish Iceberg Lettuce Salad for Batman
My favourite superhero of all time is Batman. It hasn’t changed since I learned about him back in grade school. Never mind that it was thru the worst batman movie ever. Excuse me Mr. Clooney, I adore you to bits but your batman movie sucked big time. The reason mainly is because his…
my current dilemma
What am I to do with these? I bought too much. The dried herbs are all right but how about the mint and basil?
