Rice problems..

It's been more than a year already - since I stopped eating rice..

I'm thinking of eating it again..

Mainly because I need the energy to burn since I'm going back to my Yoga practice. I feel so weak at times when practicing..

I might just go back to eating it again....

I'm hesitant...

Help!



On the side.. I passed by NFA along Del Monte Avenue - I asked the person selling NFA Rice on the counter if there was indeed a shortage of rice. He said there really wasn't - because if there was - the warehouse won't be full. He pointed the warehouse - and it was indeed full to the brim! I told him that I heard on the radio that the NFA rice was being sold at a low price just to accommodate the demand, he smirked! He said it was not being sold at a loss - and smiled mischievously. My mom has said time and again that these issues were just set out to cover something big... What can that big thing be?! Hmmm...

  2. I think rice in your diet is ok when you pick the better kind of rice.

    White rice = empty calories. It's just a tummy filler.

    Brown rice = rich in fiber and multi B vitamins. Women who eat brown rice weigh less than those who go for white rice!

    The only downside, brown rice isn't as smooth as white rice. You have to get use to the texture but it's no biggie. :)

    Or just go with more sides. Like have sweet corn as sub for rice.

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
