Having been introduced to the products of Contadina, I must say that it has made my cooking a LOT easier.  I really like how Contadina pastas are easy to make, their sauces are very good too!  I so love the flavor and aroma of the Contadina Olive Oils. So when I was invited to so a supermarket run, I didn't pass up the chance.  I am not one to plan a meal - unless, I have this bugging idea in my head for a long time.  More often than not, I just wing it.  I look at my fridge and pantry, and then think what I can do with those ingredients.  I start from there.  I don't usually follow a recipe to a T, unless it's really something I want to try for the first time.  So while on the supermarket run, I picked up the Contadina products that I thought would help me cook an easy yet very tasty dish.  As much as I wanted to research on what to prepare, I thought to myself - well, that's really not my style.  Hahahaha!! After picking up ...

I still can't believe that I saw Nigella Lawson in the flesh. I'm still in shock - still on a high. Yesterday was surreal. Here's a sneak peak. When I first saw her, I thought to myself - she's REAL.  Hahaha!!  I mean seriously, she's a real person!  Hahaha..  She's tall, she's pretty and she speaks soooo well.  I can listen to her speak for hours.  I was mesmerized. It was really nice to hear her enjoy Filipino food.  It was nakaka-kilig actually because I mean she likes them.  She LOVES calamansi, hahaha!  Isn't that cute? I can't stop myself from gushing!  Hahaha!! Here's a video I *secretly* took of her and Chef Jayps, cute dibaaaaaa?? More posts to come.......
