Chicken and Malunggay Soup
I could’ve sworn I had an eventful month. In retrospect it wasn’t all. I was just glad I caught two films I’ve been meaning to watch since last year; Sarah’s Key with Kristin Scott Thomas and Never Let Me Go with Carey Mulligan. Both films falls under my “gripping,vulnerable and raw” category. The…
Spaghetti Aglia e Olio (Garlic and Oil with Ham and Asparagus tips)
I think no can help but think of pasta when one catches a glimpse of any Italian movie (or any film shot in Italy). Of course there’s a lot more to Italian cuisine than pasta but I’m just citing an example. The film I recently enjoyed was Sunset in Tuscany. I find the…
Turon (Banana spring rolls)
Turones with cheese and carafee sauce After putting it off for months I finally grabbed the chance and time to make a very decent looking and delicious tasting turon (banana spring rolls). It’s not a personal favourite but once in a while I like sinking my teeth into one. After all it’s a…
Mango and cream float
I’ve been jonesing for this dessert for a while now and finally two days ago I was able to make it. I wanted something with the same soft and delicate texture but has different tastes, namely, bitter (chocolatey bitter), sour (almost ripe mango kind of sour) and sweetened cream. Although I normally make…
Guacamole
Guacamole is essentially an avocado based sauce that originated in the Aztecs in Mexico. I haven’t encountered any bottle based guacamole yet but have heard about (never interested in) this condiment because I’m more of a chili based fan. The other day we were able to buy the deep purple skinned smallish type…

The moon, the wine and that little witch
I was never asked to describe it before but if I were to describe it… When the tangible and ethereal alike are simultaneously swallowed by the impending darkness. The moon, who reigns the sky at night, would soon grace all things with its majestic light. And I, as a humble siren of the…
Watermelon and lemon cooler
If I would say so, I was busy but not really. I did have a few errands I needed to do in the past few days and it took some time before I could make a decent meal or drink then post about it. Again, there’s this problem with a household staff that…
Cravings: Cheddar and cayenne crackers
I wanted to watch Letters to Juliet and needed to nibble on something. I made a quick cheddar cracker. Oh YUM! *Recipe soon*
Onion and Chives home made crackers
This post is dedicated in part to Ms. Jennifer Grant. A few weeks ago I found a 15 minute “water cracker” recipe that gave me exuberant chills I just had to make them. One thing stopped me, the camera I use at the time was in Cebu City accompanying my cousin in an…
