Bite me! (I taste really good!)

There are teeny tiny things that gets me enormously irritated. Let me give you an example. I hate it when: 1. I log on to the internet using SmartBro the find out that despite being properly logged in and such it still takes a lifetime before I do any decent surfing. 2. I…

Just like that…

I don’t know what happened. For the very first time I didn’t feel any excitement as I made our Noche Buena meal. I have already prepped everything yesterday so there isn’t much to do but cook. Or so I thought. I was sleepy the entire morning and dead tired by the time nightfall…

Classic Belgian Waffle

For me making a batch of freshly made waffles is very easy. Compared to let’s say cupcakes (I love them in a completely different manner), I’m saying there’s no baking time and hope that each and every piece of cupcake is cooked at least evenly. I know, there are steps that needs to…

Frozen Avocado Milkshake

As of late I haven’t set aside some time to take photos of things I make. Three parties went by and no single good photo made its way here. Ah, it could just be the summer sun. The sweltering days I have to go through. Tsk tsk. Although let me tell you that…
