An uber fun Saturday

Last Saturday, I had a blast. Yes, a BLAST! A literal blast? You may ask why and how? Well, for one I attended a baking demo in Nestle at Rockwell, hosted by the ever dee-lightful and cheery Lori Baltazar of Dessert Comes First. I met some great people, tasted lovely treats and most importantly - I was there with my good friend Jen! Here are some pictures of the event - click THIS to see the images. I am borrowing the link from Lori's DCF.

After the demo, Jenn and I walked our way to Power Plant mall, carrying with us the goodies that we've stashed - as Jen would say 'Sayang naman yung food!'. Good thing there was a package counter at the Rustan's Fresh Supermarket! After depositing the goodies - he headed out and walked the mall - waiting of course for our 'sundo' to come around. When they finally did - we headed to Crustasia for dinner. For a few minutes my Panget and Holden were contemplating and discussing on where to eat good steak, then in an instant they decided to head to Tagaytay! and so we did. We got to Tagaytay around 9:00pm - the road was kind of clear - thank god! When we got to Tagaytay - well, it was really foggy and cold!! Obviously, we picked Leslie's to have dinner - since I was still on SBD - I just ate Tortang Talong - but it was good - maybe because I was really really hungry!!

On the way home - was the best. Jenn and I sang OPM songs! Yes, remember Jamie Rivera? Odette Quesada, Sharon Cuneta, Chiqui Pineda, Dina Bonnavie, the NeoColors, Keno, Gary V, and a whole lot more! How I love OPM!! Sigh.....

Time flies fast.. really...

Breastfeeding Mama!

"Welcome to the Milk Mama Diaries Carnival (July). For this month, we join the National Nutrition Council - Department of Health in celebrating Nutrition Month with the theme "Isulong ang Breastfeeding - Tama, Sapat at EKsklusibo!" Participants will share their experiences in promoting breastfeeding or their tips on how breastfeeding should be promoted. Please scroll down to the end of this post and check out the other carnival participants." When I got pregnant, I knew instantly that I would be breastfeeding my baby. My mom found it odd that I decided to breastfeed - this was because I grew up formula fed. My twin brother and I were given formula since birth, there was no attempt whatsoever to breastfeed. In fact my mom recounted that she was given medicine to stop the milk production. My pedia, Dr. Joy Ty-Sy said that during my mom's time (when she had us) it was the boom of formulas, that it was the trend that time. I grew up with formula, my c

ANSON SUPERMARKET - Grocery delivery!!

Sharing is caring, so we can't keep it a secret any longer. THIS is where we get out groceries! Well, Anson Supermarket has been where we have been purchasing all of our kids' diapers! From Kailee to Connor to Shobe! Yes, yes, yes! A week into the lockdown, it just occurred to us that we can get our groceries from them - but then we thought, we didn't want to force them to do it - after all it's a different time now. But when we asked and they said yes, it was like we won the lottery. We sent out our list - a very VERY SPECIFIC list and voila after a day or two (we weren't in a rush) they told us to schedule a pick up. Please remember that I am sharing this with you guys because I believe so much in the saying 'sharing is caring'. Please be mindful of your language and respect those who will call or message you about your orders. Also note that some items might NOT be available - so manage your expectations. They're a full functioning

#CookingQuest: Winter Melon Soup ala Didi #EnhancedCommunity

One of the things that gets ooohs and aaaahs in a chinese restaurant is the #WinterMelonSoup. You may ask why? Well because with this soup, restaurants use the winter melon itself as a huge bowl to serve the soup! It's a sight to see as you'll be amazed how they were able to pull it off. You'll see the whole winter melon, and then suddenly they're take out the top part and when you peek in, the soup is inside together with meat bits and other veggies! My mom has tried it at home, and I remember her being nervous that the winter melon doesn't break apart, kunde sira ang presentation! So during this #EnhancedCommunityQuarantine, I chanced upon Theo's Farm that they have winter melon, so I ordered. When I saw it - I knew I wouldn't be able to pull off the carving and serving the winter melon. It actually made the preparation easier. I had to ask my mom, and she told me to steam the winter melon to soften it. Honestly, I don't think I can w
