Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 3: Semolina and Nut Halva
Before Cindy and I accidentally flipped to the recipe page in Chef’s Mediterranean cookbook, I had no idea what a halva was. Having not heard it before, we thought, oh cool, it’s exotic to us, so let’s make it! Wiki says there’s many different kinds of halva, and they’re all typically dense and sweet. Hence, [...]
Music and Lyrics: I’m A Slave 4 U – Britney Spears
I blame it on Glee. Never did I imagine that I would blog about Britney. But in all honesty, I respect her as a dancer. In this video, well, this was of course her glory days – to state the obvious. Hot career, hot body, and well, she was dating Justin Timberlake (just ignore the [...]
Mommy Adventures: Parent Material
With all my heart and mind, I am very certain that Chef and I are not yet in the position to become parents. Sure, Captain Awesome seems to think we’re ready, but that’s because I bought him everything he asked for when we went to the store. But really, what makes a woman mommy-material? When [...]
Blinks: Red
Last year, September 25, 2009, was a day of red. It was the color assigned for Captain Awesome’s class for the Salu-Salo, which was some sort of family day in Ateneo. A mini-program was held in the classroom along with some games before and after lunch/snack. After the classroom shindig, families went off their way to [...]
Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 2: Couscous with Colorful Vegetables
A continuation from last week’s post, this dish was the perfect side dish with all the healthy elements and flavorful lightness that is truly Mediterranean. Cindy prepared this dish and I’m so proud on how she tackled the vegetables because that was a lot of chopping! The Vegetables Involved: Zucchini Eggplant Green Beans White Cabbage [...]
Le Critique: Hole in the Wall: Morimoto’s Napa
Morimoto’s Napa 610 Main St, Napa, CA 94559 (707) 252-1600 Morimoto, as an Iron Chef, is pretty main stream and we all know that anything this Japanese genius would venture into is not particularly “hole in the wall”. Nonetheless, that’s the name of our Restaurant Review series. Morimoto’s Napa is located in Napa’s newly developed Riverfront [...]
Another Year Under My Belt
Although I know that I should reflect on my life constantly, I, like probably a lot of people, deeply reflect on what I have done and what I have yet to do on two occasions: New Year’s and my birthday. Incidentally, today is one of those days. Yey me! Having friends from so many different [...]
Blinks: One Year Ago
One year ago from today, Chef and I legalized our commitment to each other and our relationship. Our civil wedding was held in the beautiful San Francisco City Hall. It was humble compared to the church wedding that we had three months later. We got up, made breakfast, I did my own hair and make-up, [...]
Taste Buds: Mediterranean Dinner Part 1: Panfried Red Snapper with Basil and Citrus
After our first cooking adventure, Cindy and I had time to plan the next one and we had decided on making a Mediterranean dinner for Chef and Cindy’s fiance. It was pretty much by default that we chose this cuisine because of Chef’s several cookbooks staring at us. I will post our 3-course meal in, [...]
Wanderlust: HK Disneyland
I may have said this a million times: I haven’t had a vacation since October 2009. And I haven’t buried my feet in the sand since April….also 2009. Sad, sad, sad! I have been browsing through old photos of family trips and I delved into the first (and so far, only) family trip we took [...]
Music and Lyrics: Breakdown – Mariah Carey feat. Bone Thugs N Harmony
Since Ms V (@vera_ftw) mentioned Bone Thugs N’ Harmony on Twitter, this song has been playing in my head. For me, this is Mariah at her best (I feel that her Emancipation of Mimi is up there too, but it’s really hard because her Daydream album was really good too). Anyway, this is Mariah looking [...]
