Earlier this year, I had the scare of my life when my youngest daughter Lucia got confined in the hospital because of a preventable disease (measles). I skipped an immunization cycle because of an old wives' tale of the MMR vaccine causing autism. Anyway, that's all behind us now because my little one recovered in due time and is now back to her hyper self. What the whole incident taught me is that vaccination should never be taken for granted. It is the very one thing that saves children's lives! Pneumonia and diarrhea or rotavirus gastroenteritis are the ... Continue Reading...

How to make ramen noodle soup at home
I missed Chef Seiji Kamura's class on how to make Japanese-style ramen at The Maya Kitchen as announced here. But thankfully, I was able to get hold of the recipes he taught in the class so am sharing them here. Disclosure: the ramen recipes haven't been tested by me yet (but I will, one of these days).
