We've been MIA
I can't believe we've been on this side of the world for almost a year now. Boy, time is moving awfully fast, eh? I know, I know! I should have been blogging about our new life, but priorities always get in the way. I'm happy to share that we've been blessed to have some travel adven

So last time, we went to Morocco. Now, with all my sabbatical planning for England, it was inevitable for me to crave for shepherd’s pie. BUT not exactly shepherd’s pie, but what the English call as cottage pie. What’s the difference? One thing. The meat. Beef instead of lamb. Anyone who knows

This post is long overdue.

Chef and I have been together for 6 years and I never learned how to make Spanish rice until now. I love it, obviously, and I can’t get enough of it whenever we have Mexican food. We discussed over and over what this really is called because it’s been labeled as Spanish rice, though it’s not t

It's been a while since we did an On the Loose post. Not that we haven't done any shopping. On the contrary, I think I have reached my [self-imposed] quota for 2011. Now, before you play the world's smallest violins for me, 2012 is just a few days away. I'll be resetting my shopping count to zero ve

Happy Holidays, one and all!!
Yes, yes, my greeting, along with blogposts, are a tad bit delayed. Nonetheless, it's never too late for a good dessert recipe.
