Continue reading →: Fish Balls for Blogging Girls’ Virtual Night Out
Oh the merry month of May! It seems to be a succession of parties, both in real life and online. Just at the heels of the last Is My Blog Burning? is a potluck party! I only found out a few days ago that Stel has opened Baby Rambutan house for a Blogging Girls’ Night…

Continue reading →: Feast and Fireworks
It has been planted – the challenge is to make it grow. The template was changed (we’re still tweaking), a feast, visitors and fireworks too. It’s probably the most lavish way to celebrate a food blog’s first anniversary. But it wasn’t really for the blog. And I’m getting ahead of…

This month’s edition of IMBB with the theme “Has My Blog Jelled?” is being graciously hosted by Elise at Simply Recipes. Much as I promised myself to join each IMBB as is humanly possible, I wasn’t very enthusiastic about staying in front of the stove in the summer heat. I initially thought of crema de fruta,…

Continue reading →: Attack of the Munchies
The past few days I was in a workshop in a resort along the coast of La Union facing the South China Sea. Although the food was nothing spectacular, it was substantial and I couldn’t really complain. We had more than enough yet one evening, as I sat down to work on…

Underneath the carrot and capsicum strips is a tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) navigating its way towards the list of IMBB entries. This month’s host of the very successful meme, courtesy of Alberto’s original idea, is Ladygoat at Foodgoat… with the theme Orange you hungry? Since busy days are upon us (my blog friends would have noticed by…

They don’t look much (especially with a bad photo) but trust me they are worth their weight in gold. Those are what I unexpectedly received last Easter while my auntie was cleaning out her cabinets. One by one the books came out. And these were not just cookbooks! They’re cookbooks…

In observance of the official mourning period for the late Pope John Paul II, I shall not be posting new entries here until after 11 April. The novemdiales, the traditional nine-days of mourning and prayer are observed with a Mass for each day. The word is derived from the Latin novem meaning ‘nine’.…

“Aah, ginilu! Your Lola always made that on Good Friday.” My uncle was nostalgic while watching me cube the jelly. That was also how I remember it. On Good Friday, the adults fasted but could partake of the beverage. It has been more than a decade since we had it. And it has…

Maki at I was just really hungry hosts this month’s IMBB with the theme My Little Cupcake (or muffin). As soon as I read the announcement, I had decided on something with tomatoes, whether sweet or savoury. Alas, when the deadline drew near, I was in another part of the country yet I didn’t forget.…

Continue reading →: SHF 6: Yemas (Caramel Custard Candies)
Between sweet and savoury, I’d pick the latter but when Debbie at words to eat by announced caramel as this month’s theme for Sugar High Fridays (SHF), I thought it was too good to pass up. SHF is a spin-off of the now-famous IMBB? and was created by Jennifer at the Domestic Goddess, and I’m entering an entry for the…
