If you’ve browsed and read a few of my previous entries before, you’d know that I have a fondness of Japanese culture and the arts, the ones I have easy access to would be J-pop, anime and manga. I do especially love manga, in most of the shoujo titles I’ve read, quite number…

Chocolate Chip Cookies / Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas 2016
I have been thinking of doing a 12 Days of Christmas post since years ago and has finally decided to get it over with this year. Our refrigerator has recently took in a bag of chocolates so I opted to make chocolate chip cookies even if I had to do the “chipping’ myself….
When I was away
Well, there’s really no reason or point in explaining why I haven’t posted a single thing since months ago. NO matter how swamped I was I could’ve always made time to post, yes? I didn’t and that’s it. Meanwhile, I can tell you what I’ve done so far. I got a job that…
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…
Polvorone cookie bars (with chocolate cookies)
You’ve heard of polvorón, right? Every Filipino child, past and present, knows what a polvoron is. I’d say that this generation is lucky enough to have the opportunity to sample a wide variety. The most commercially known are the ones sold in every Goldilocks bakeshop. I’m certain however that there are more 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 to do this summer?
It’s almost officially summer. Good thing about summer is the expectation that guests will come in and out unannounced, it amuses me. Better thing about summer is I get to go and do summery things (swimming, fishing, outing ). The best thing about summer (this summer) is that I discovered something magical. I…
Yes,I love. (recipe for crepe two-ways)
This is always difficult. Talking about love and all. It’s easier for me to just show it or feel it. Be it thru a song, a meal or a sucker punch. Just like right now, I really have nothing to say. Literally even. I tried preparing what to post in advance but still…
Apple Fritter
A couple or so weeks ago I happened to catch an episode of Giada at Home where she made apple fritters (among others). This reminded of an elaborately done similar recipe I found in my copy Yummy magazine. The one in Yummy asks for egg, nutmeg, milk salt and an optional cinnamon sugar…
