Hooked on The Strain

OH. MY. GOSH

I just discovered a new TV series and I am so very much loooooooving it!

It's called The Strain.



How did I get to watch it?  Well, it was in our HD.  I was bored and I wanted to watch a new show.  I was browsing the folders and the I decided to just re-watch White Collar (because I so love Neal Caffrey) when I saw a new title - The Strain.  I got very curious and decided to watch an episode.  And the rest they say is history.  I saw all five (5) episodes in one night.

That is how much I enjoyed the show.  I was so impressed and hooked on the pilot.  I don't think there's a show (this year) that got me hooked on the pilot alone.  I couldn't explain it - but I was HOOKED.  I was looking forward to every scene, I was giddy and concentrated at the same time.  I was so excited - really really excited and I wanted to know what happened next.

When my Panget got home - I gushed about the show.  I told him that he would love it, and that it was super duper nice.  He just said one thing 'Guillermo del Toro'.  It was only then that I knew why he had that particular show on our HD.  My Panget has this talent for picking out TV shows - and this one, he has in our HD.  The only reason he has it is because of Guillermo del Toro.  My Panget is a huge huge huge fan of this man.  My Panget has watched ALL of his movies and is surely going to watch his future films - with me in tow (whether I like it or not).  My Panget then proceeds to tell me that this was a book that was made into a TV show.  I didn't know that Guillermo del Toro wrote a book!  I then googled it and yeah - he did write it.

Isn't it exciting?  I don't want to go into detail because I might spoil it for you, but I swear to you - if you're a fan of sci-fi/vampire/suspense thriller - then please please, do watch this show!  I promise you, you won't be disappointed!  Every episode makes you more curious.  I really wish I can be patient enough to compile the next few episodes so I can have more than an hour's worth of episode to watch.  I keep waiting for another scene after the episode fades to black. Dammit!  Self control!!

Hahaha...

Oh, and Sean Astin is there.

    I thought I won't be able to handle watching it because of the grossness. Kaya naman pala. :D

    Have you and Panget watched Utopia (UK)? You have to watch it, too if you haven't. It's a comic book sci fi conspiracy. Visually stunning, very well written. You have to watch it before the USA adapts it next year. ;)

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

#CookingQuest: Chicken Stir Fry

When I was little, I used to see my mom, guama and aunt cook in the kitchen.  I found it amazing, that they have this idea in their heads on what to cook for us.  I remember my guama had small bits of plastic that when opened contained shirmp and cooked pork fat.  I asked her what it was for, and she told me that it was to add 'flavor' to the dish whatever it was.  I don't remember seeing her look at any cook book or a paper with recipe.  She just whipped them all up! When I got older, I became interested in baking - baking because I was afraid of splattering oil.  So I stuck to baking for a while.  It was only when I got married that I had to dive in and cook.  When my Panget and I were newly married, we didn't have a helper during the weekend, so I had to step up.  There were times that we didn't have a helper at all (we borrowed my mom's helper to clean), so I had to do all the cooking.  It was there that I learned to whip something up with just ing
