The monthly Pinoy food blogging event Lasang Pinoy focuses this month on Food Memories From Your Childhood hosted by Mr. Cocinero. After a long absence, I thought it best to join even though I have vague memories of this period, having been a picky eater. This is probably the reason why I was lanky/reed-thin as child. Of course I'd do everything to bring back this physique, but I can very well imagine how frustrated my aunt and grandparents must have been to have a housemate who hardly touched her food at the dinner table. ...

A Walk On the Wild Side
In a post not too long ago, Oz-based Pinay blogger Shai generated ideas from her readers about some of the wild things they've done in their lifetime. I would like to know about yours though am not sure if anybody will come out totally in the open about those things. Do give it a try and I'll make my own rundown here.

Lipa City & Death By Bulalo
Hapag Filipino bulalo Am on a road trip to Lipa City to accompany my balikbayan auntie & her family. I don't know if it was my dour mood brought about by the pressure of looking after my three hyperactive kids sans the nanny, but I found Lipa City unexciting. Until we went to dinner tonight and my jaded senses were suddenly awakened with a sampling of the best-tasting bulalo soup this side of Luzon, not to mention the yummiest grilled spareribs and freshest, most perfectly - roasted tilapia stuffed with generous amounts of onions, tomatoes and chilies. ...
