Pasta and Hopia

Pasta and hopia – an unlikely pair but nevertheless meets the purpose of me having a great time despite the gloomy Sunday afternoon. Wifey prepared this (who else will?) and delivered it to me while I’m in front of our PC updating Marcus’ Flickr account – yes, he’s already got one and it’s got [...]

Pizza Talk

Today is pizza day and I find some good tidbits to write about. Here are my 8 slices of pizza talk: I think I got a cold. I need to take something round and can decongest my stuffy nose…”Hello, Pizza Hut delivery? I’ll get one large-size pizza and put extra hot sauce please.” This afternoon [...]

Mobile lechon manok, anyone?

Yesterday, I was with my (small) business partners trying to figure out how to improve sales of our lechon manok and after scouting for several good locations, we settled and just talked about it somewhere along the Aguinaldo highway. During the discussion, one said that he had an ingenious idea of having our lechon [...]

Mixed feelings in Manokan Country

Our Bacolod vacation is now complete. After days of wondering when this day will ever materialize or if it’s going to happen during our next visit, we finally made it to the city’s famous Manokan Country. What I find more interesting is despite doubt that we can successfully visit the place of the original (sorry [...]

Pigs don’t have Christmas

The irony of it all is that as we celebrate Christmas, someone has to die as part of it – the pigs (and the chickens, and the cows…) “Dad, what do you mean when you said that Lola grows pig for food? Aren’t they pets?” “Mom, why is it brown and not moving anymore? [...]

Bengali Fish Curry

I love Indian-inspired food and everytime wifey makes one I’m the happiest man ever. Here’s her version of the Bengali fish curry with a presentation and taste that can shame Fish & Co’s. Really. Mood: 2/10 Honks! (Mission accomplished)

Bake day

What was initally bought to bake dog food (for our then bully) has finally produced its first baked “people” food. Thanks to wifey, for the first time she gets to bake something out of it. Her baking training plus her natural talent to cook, successfully created delightful treats that once again made my day. [...]

I also don’t eat utan

Other than enjoying a cholesterol-filled dinner of small-sized crabs (I don’t consider it crablets), what topped off this unhealthy night is this Ilonggo Indie film clip which I saw from one of my Facebook friend’s post. The title alone captured my attention due to a couple of reasons: First, as a kid I hate veggies [...]

Chasing sushis and balloon

Just this afternoon, I finally finished another monthly task that I’ve been doing for more than half a year already – family expenses accounting. After learning how to do it from a personal financial planning training, I’ve never ignored a single receipt and have always tried my best to account each expense somewhere around the [...]

Sweetest email

I’m sure this is the sweetest email I’ve ever received. A contact forwarded an email prior to this with the subject: Krispy Kreme and with an invitation to click on this link: http://www.chocolatekarnival.com/register.php . I don’t know but if there’s one good way for a virus to infect my PC, it probably would be through [...]
