Back To School

When MIL first heard of it, the first person that came into her mind was me. Well she admitted though that she wanted to take part in it too, but then her hands are full and she does not have the spare time for it. Anyway, I'm glad that I am a part of this. This is like a mobile school, a joint project of Quezon City under Ms. Joy Belmonte and ABS CBN. What are we learning? It's a dream come true for me, HOT and COLD kitchen. I'd like to think that this is a basic of what CULINARY ARTS is all about. It's actually exciting and I am surprised that I still have a lot to learn considering that I am the queen in our kitchen.

Stainless Steel Sinks

When we built this house we are staying in right now, I really made sure that all my specifications will all be followed when it comes to the kitchen...after all who do you think reigns there? I did close supervision, from construction to finishing. I always had the final say. Good thing the architect and the workers knew what I wanted right away, so I wasn't really that stressed. But there's one thing though, had I known about these kitchen sinks, I would have gotten one of these. I actually have double sink, a stainless one too, but I want the undermount one. That's not what I have right now. Much as I want it, I don't think I can. It will be a waste of money, since nothing is wrong with my countertop just yet. We don't need any renovation too, since this house is just 2 years old. I guess I will just have to settle with what we have. But for those ones who are in the process of building their dream houses, go take a look at the sleek and gorgeous stainless steel sinks. Take a look at the different shapes, I'm sure it will go with the design of your kitchen. Oh did I mention that stainless steel sinks are very affordable?

Appetizer Recipes

I was jumping with joy when I found this website with appetizers recipes. Honestly I want to learn. I only get to taste appetizers whenever we dine at hotels. We don't do it at home, we have soup, salad, but never the appetizers they serve in hotels. I think I want to try and make one for the weekend. Frittatas sound yummy and it's actually easy to prepare. I just hope the kids will like it, like I told you, they are not used to having appetizers at home.

My Own Version

It's my first time to actually prepare it. As usual I first tasted this at a japanese restaurant I frequent. I was like, mayo spaghetti? How does it taste? Out of curiosity, I tried it, and boy was it yummy! I actually do not know how to make it step by step nor the ingredients. I made a wild guess though when I made my own version. My ingredients included japanese mayo, nestle cream, olive oil, bacon, asparagus and garlic. That is the most I can come up with. Of course they won't be telling their trade secret, so it's up to me to discover. So far, so good, coz my family really loved it. And that's what matters most.

Do You Love to Cook?

As i've written in my past entry, I was made the official cook in the family, and I'm starting to like it...really! Good thing I have a beautiful kitchen (imho) which all the more encourages me cook. I have a few sets of cookware given to me by my MIL, but I want to add bernedes cookware to my collection. I want to have their cookware and cooking tools, especially their elegant stainless steel cookware. Check out all their cookware sets, geez I wanna have it all. It could inspire me to cook and come up with new dishes to feed the family.
