Left Overs

On weekends, I am inundated with left over food. It's a big dilemna (as if it's rocket science or those IT Jobs people are facing) for me because first, I am not keen on eating left overs myself so how can I feed my family with them if I won't eat them? Unless, the food is a Pinoy food. Yesterday, we had stew/gumbo with the mish-mash of all the dishes we had for the week....

SJP Dawn

I like perfume but I'm not into hording them or collecting them (ahem, as of now I have 4 bottles of different perfume, and for me they are one too many). My preference run into fresh, clean, subtle, citrus, mild scent. I went to the shops without the intention of buying any (could have checked the stuff how to treat acne scars). Then, I saw that the Lovely collections...

Food Shortage

Woke up early and when we got there, the produce shop closer to the gate was packed and the queue was very long. But still we have to go through the whole drama just buy a bag of potatoes. Can you imagine people asking for car insurance rates after...

Peeling Peaches

Before the floods, I was able to buy some fruit in abundance - peaches. I'm not really a fan but because it didn't cost much, I was tempted. I can't possibly eat the whole kilo so I decided to peel them without really thinking what I want them for. Based on experience, they are quite hard to peel so I consulted the net (again).•Wash the peach thoroughly under cold water. Be gentle but firm. You want to remove all the soft fuzzy that covers the...
