greekcoffee Originally uploaded by annalyn. All the basic things aside, there are three things I can't live without for a day. These are a) kissing & hugging my honeybunnies ~ all three of them; b) logging on the net, to check emails & such; and c) drinking my coffee, approximately two to three cups in all. ...

The Day-Off Chef: Sukiyaki Con Pinoy (updated)
Sukiyaki Daaaarn...with the 12% EVAT, dining out seems more of a pain than the joy it used to be. So if you tell me that there's a new place in town that's worth checking out, I am not gonna relate... unless you're picking up the tab.The one good thing that came out of higher taxes is that we get more motivated to try out new dishes at home in order to spare our wallet the agony, hence the advent of my dish for today, good ol' sukiyaki. ...

The fastfood center is also popular among shoppers and Fil-Chinese denizens for its $1 heaping plates of pancit and equally-cheap chicken cordon bleu rolls. Sharing ... Continue Reading...
One-day vacation in Bangus Country
Bangus etc. Originally uploaded by annalyn. I could say that one of the things that makes me a true-blue Filipino is my love for the milkfish, or bangus in local parlance. Go to any market (in the Luzon region, at least) and you will almost always find this gray-scaled fish in the stalls. What I like about bangus is that there are more ways to cook this than my other fresh-water favorite, tilapia. The health-conscious prefer the fat-free paksiw na bangus or the sinigang na bangus sa miso but I am also partial to the many imaginative ways our good ol' ... Continue Reading...
