In times like this, I just can't help but notice, the goodness in people. Even those who barely have anything still give nevertheless.<br />
<br />
Instead of idling and being conscientious for just watching the news and doing nothing, thanks to technology, we were able to take part and help from home. I appreciate how useful social networks can be. Many lives were rescued immediately. Many people were informed proficiently. Social networking became such a powerful tool.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, salute to the unsung heroes who proactively took part in spreading news & who helped unceasingly instead of just whining about the weather. To the rescue unit volunteers and medicals teams who went on perpetual duty for more than 24 hours. How much does a body can operate. I can't think of anything nobler than that.<br />
<br />
Even with the aid of technology and people around us, there's nothing more powerful than prayers. For a moment, let's set aside all this wordwar and debates regarding socio-political issues, and stop these unabashed displays of nonsensical pride. Let's not point fingers and put blame on who's responsible for what. Let's not cry over a spilled milk. Let's stop intellectualizing that this is the wrath of God from the so-called impious RH Bill issue (which is the stupidest thing I've heard coming from a church leader).<br />
<br />
I remember the movie "Bruce Almighty", when Morgan Freeman (who played God) answered Jim Carrey's wife questioning God that she has been praying for their family to be stronger as one. He said (not in exact words already) "When you pray to God for strength, He doesn't give you strength; rather, He gives you the opportunity to be strong. When you pray to God to make your family be together, then He gives you the opportunity to be together. God is giving us the opportunity to be strong and unite as a whole. Let's make use of it.<br />
<br />
In times like this, you realize that life out there is larger than yours. There are other people who has greater problems than yours. There are other people who needs more help than yours. You maybe complaining about being stuck and bored in your house because of the nonstop rain when someone out there has lost theres. You might be whining about how still cold it is even with your blankets, how crappy your food is, when someone out there is stuck in their roof, shivering, starving and waiting for salvage. Be grateful. Help whenever possibly you can.. And amidst the calamity, through this opportunity, I came to realize, that yes, there is still goodness in all...<br />

Whether its trying-to-be-healthy, decadent, man vs. food quality and quantity, pretentious fine dining, fusion, imposing authentic, or whatever fits my category of decent "enough" food. I even miss fastfood! I miss my own cooking.. Seems like I've been eating only for sustenance or to aid hunger.... Should I start doing "Eat, Pray, and Love?" :)<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> <span style="white-space: pre;"> <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span></span>Twas Sunday morning when Armie/Jhonnie and I decided to meet up at Ongpin. As always, we're the usual tandems in some culinary journeys whenever our asawas would go abroad for work. We share the same tastes in food. And whenever were together, <i><span style="color: #9999ff;">we would always devour ourselves with food, food, food, and nothing but food.</span></i> You will <span style="color: #ff99ff;">never</span> see us going to the gym together haha. Instead, you will always see us pigging out somewhere..... </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So since my friend will be out shopping for her wedding rings and her fiance was out of the country for work; additionally, she was craving for some Chinese cuisine, she tagged me along to <b><span style="color: red;">Ongpin</span></b>, <i><span style="color: #ff99ff;">a perfect place for dumplings and rings. An empyrean of dim sums and emporium of jewelries.</span><span style="color: #66ff99;"> </span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #66ff99;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><span style="color: #66ff99;"></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="color: #66ff99;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>So our blitzkrieg begins....</span></span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="white-space: pre;"> <span style="white-space: pre;"> </span></span>She arrived 30-40 minutes earlier, so she was able to shop for her wedding rings first while waiting for me. After a series of exchanging text messages about each other's whereabouts, and being caught up in the middle of the traffic jam, plus my dorm is from Valenzuela pa, i arrived at around 12:30. Na tomjones ang bubbly bride so we had lunch at the Old Maxim Tea House.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just a few meters away from another shoe stall, we saw a shelf of formals shoes, but we could barely scope for the designs. <i>"Parang malakas un te".</i>..

We never expected that GIBI would launch such a chic and classic collection. And in the first place we were jocular about the GIBI thing before we even saw the stall.

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During our younger years, we were told a bunch of fairy tales by our parents, during bedtime, and by our teachers in class. Not mentioning the Classic Disney versions of this marchen. All we knew was.....It always starts with a<span style="color: #ea9999;"> "Once upon a time....." </span>then goes the trend....... the princess, always the protagonist, always being maltreated and envied, by her evil stepmother, that sometimes comes with evil step sisters, becomes a maid in her own house, dethroned, inheritance was taken from her, always prettier than her stepmother and sisters, that makes them angrier and hate her more, then princess tries to gatecrash to some party then meets the prince, who was delusionally desired by her sisters, then blah blah blah, yadda yadda yaddam. Prince couldn't sleep, finally searches for the princess and saves her from her evil steppies in the end <i><span style="color: #a2c4c9;">(commas instead of periods done purposely haha..For me to say whew!!)</span></i>. In other words, royalty falls in love with a gorgeous peasant.</span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has always been the same trend with the other fairytale princess, wherein she also had an evil stepmom, who envies her beauty, a beauty that has been a blessing and a curse to her. Then the stepmother strategizes ways to kill her. Then finally by chance, he'll meet her prince, who happens to be ravishing and helluva strong and good looking, the <span style="color: #ea9999;">"hottest guy"</span> of the far, far, away kingdom <i>(I remember the Shrek movie, spoofing everything)</i>, that will eventually save her ass and revive her back. Or sometimes, the princess gets a curse after birth from a witch because her "royal" parents had done something, and the daughter has to suffer for that. Then she grows up still carrying the curse, and once again, sizzling hot Prince charming slays the dragon, climb the highest part of the castle, kisses the princess <span style="color: #ea9999;">(</span><i><span style="color: #ea9999;">sweet, he gets to the 1st base without even knowing her name. What a daterape. Is it the medieval way of a one night stand?)</span></i><span style="color: #ea9999;"> </span>, then true love breaks the spell (I realized that princesses were that easy to get.. And it started with a kiss?).. Thus, the end of tribulation......<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">and they lived happily ever after.....</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #cccccc;">Imagine how difficult t'was for the prince to get laid, compared to the present time's nth base in dating (and imagine how guys even complain and whine about having to pass through 4 bases.)</span></span></b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">There's nothing really wrong with fairytales. They bring positive messages and lessons to kids. I don't think we have to rub it in their faces the reality of life at an early age . Fairy tales bring hope and positive outlook to kids. </span></i>Eventually they'll realize that life isn't a fairytale after all. But while they're young, I guess its okay to let the old way be. Let them enjoy their youth and leave the problems and concern to the older people. It will be their problems eventually.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was once a fan of Disney movies when I was a kid. And I can say, fairy tales helped me in a lot of ways and has brought me positive outlook in life, that there will be hardships but always rewarding in the end. Bad never wins, and whatever sufferings you have, hope floats, then you will eventually be rewarded for doing good deeds and keeping yourself together despite of the series of unfortunate events that happened to you.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why am I talking about fairy tales? Well, I chanced upon the Snow White pic on my photo blog @ tumbler.com. I can't help but be amazed by the works of <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Dina Goldstein</span></b>.Then I started to research and gather the rest of her collection. Her subject is all about the real princesses of today. She called her collection "Fallen Princesses" from some of the famous <span style="color: #ffe599;">Disney-fied</span> fairy tales. </span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to Dina, her works place Fairy Tale characters in modern day scenarios. In all of the images the Princess is placed in an environment that articulates her conflict. The '...happily ever after' is replaced with a realistic outcome and addresses current issues.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span style="color: #ffd966;">"The project was inspired by my observation of three-year-old girls, who were developing an interest in Disney's Fairy tales. As a new mother I have been able to get a close up look at the phenomenon of young girls fascinated with Princesses and their desire to dress up like them. The Disney versions almost always have sad beginning, with an overbearing female villain, and the end is predictably a happy one. The Prince usually saves the day and makes the victimized young beauty into a Princess. As a young girl, growing up abroad, I was not exposed to Fairy tales. These new discoveries lead to my fascination with the origins of Fairy tales. I explored the original brothers Grimm's stories and found that they have very dark and sometimes gruesome aspects, many of which were changed by Disney. I began to imagine Disney's perfect Princesses juxtaposed with real issues that were affecting women around me, such as illness, addiction and self-image issues." - Dina</span></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I admire Goldstein's courage in addressing the present situations of some women are encountering today. She may not be a writer, but her message is as sharp as a pen, as her pen as sharp as a sword. <span style="color: #ffd966;">A Shutter Assassin </span>I must describe her. It hits you straight to your face. Some of her photos might be compelling for others, but some might offend a majority of people. Is it because t'was utterly straight forward, or some of it are just bias.

How's your holiday? Not much cooking today. Rest from the holiday season, our kitchen was like a crazy stock market, everythings running around and screaming "check the noodles!" "Who's gonna do the beef stew" "Fry the lumpia" yada yada.....Today, I'd like to sing a song for my blogger buddies. It's my favorite song from the Korean pop group <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">2NE1</span></b>. One of the members, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;"><i>Sandara Park</i></span> used to be an actress/singer here in the Philippines that went back to Korea to study. Eventually got a contract with <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">YG</span> Entertainment, a recording label that produces Korean RnB and Hiphop artists. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not really into K-pop. In fact, I was more into K-dramas rather than their music, and if you're a regular reader, you know that much how crazy I am with those cheesy cliches. I'm not much into girl or boyband thing. I got my interest with the group because Sandara was one of them. Listened to a couple of their originals, and was amazed by their musicality - not a typical girlband I must say. One of their recent single was "<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">It Hurts</span></b>". Just love the slow, soothing rhythm, and its groove - a Korean version of <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><b>Alicia Keys meets Estelle but in a cute way</b></span></i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We Filipinos are very similar to Koreans when it comes to hobbies and past times. Drinking while eating barbeques in food stalls, being drama addicts, and singing in karaokes. We call it <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">videoke</span></b>, Koreans call it <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">noraebang</span></b>. Every Filipino household has their own videoke player and sometimes owns a Magic Sing (Its a microphone with thousands of songs can be stored in its memory, just plug it in the TV and you're all set). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hope you enjoy my Noraebang version of 2Ne1's "<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">It Hurts</span></b>". I know it't not perfect. I had a little difficulty in reading and pronouncing Korean, I only had an hour to study the lyrics, so excited to record despite of, but I guess it didn't turn out that bad. To my Korean friends, hope you understand some of the gibberish parts hahaha.... <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">Happy New Year to all!!</span></b></div>

Year 2010 has to be one of my most unforgettable year I've had in my life. Some call it bad or tough luck, I call it opportunity and blessing in disguise. For a year, where I had been in emotional turmoil and almost on the brink of financial instability, added with random problems dealing with my families and friends. This year, I didn't celebrate Christmas with hubbylito, neither will spend time with him this New Year. But on the bright side, it was a great career opportunity for him and his band, and another blessing to our family. Hey, who doesn't have problems, right.. But this year, has been really tough to me, us. But what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, my first Quickies Challenge entry. As I have promised my blogger buddy Denise of <a href="http://ckiesonthedinnertable.yolasite.com/">Quickies on the Dinner Table</a> and Laz of <a href="http://lazarocooks.blogspot.com/">Lazaro Cooks</a>, I have finally submitted an entry for their next challenge. The challenge is to create a fun, inventive noodle dish. It could be any concoction of your very own, or it could be a unique twist of any classic noodle dish of your choice. It doesn't matter whether its Japanese, Viet, Chinese, Italian, American, Continental, French as long as its utilizing any kind of noodles - whether its rice, vermicelli, or any pasta. It can be done in any way you want it - baked, stir fried, swimming in broth. It can be vegetarian, or sinful. Any way you want it. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The winner gets a copy of a fantastic book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Quickies-Morning-Night-Denise-Fletcher/dp/981261849X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1290816535&sr=8-1">Quickies: Morning, Noon, and Night</a> by Denise herself.

</span></div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am not a noodle addict, but I do enjoy eating it sometimes. Not just a die hard enthusiast. But I fell in love with Laksa and Hokkien Mee. Too bad. I can't make my own Laksa soup here because there are no Laksa leaves available here in the Philippines. Thanks to Makansutra and Paotsin... They serve Laksa ala Kota Kinabalu style.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Cooking and eating Hokkien Mee kinda reminds me of the days when I was in Penang. Every sip of this prawn noodle soup, brings me back to the times when we would wake each late, hot, noon, prepping up then heading to Uncle's Little Angel Cafe, and would order my favorite Crispy Chicken in Thai sauce with this delectable Hokkien Mee for starter. Like I said, I'm not a noodle addict, but this one made me gave me a second thought about noodles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Hokkien Mee is composed of some fried noodles done in Fuijan way that is commonly served in Malaysia and Singapore. There are two kinds of Hokkien Me:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Hokkien Char Mee or the Char Hae Mee</span></i></b> - which is the stir fried style, commonly served in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, with some yellow, fat noodles, topped with pork, chicken, cabbage, squid, and usually soy sauce is used as a seasoning and as a condiment</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #93c47d;"><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><i>Hokkien Hae Mee</i></span><i> </i></b></span>- refers to the Prawn noodle in Penang. Served with egg and rice noodles, no soy is used. And Prawn is the main ingredient in this dish with a few slices of pork, squid or fishcakes. Usually garnished with fried shallots (I just love the smell of these little babies). Instead of a dark soy, sambal and red chilli is added, and just a little bit of light soy sauce is added. </span><br />

I made it less spicier, since I have a medium tolerance for hot and spicy food, still sexier and compensated with more toppings. So get ready with your ticklers, and jot the important steps:</span><br />

</span><br />
<br />
<ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In making the </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;">Sambal Chili Paste</span></b></i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> - Mix all the ingredients together and blend in a processor. Heat up your wok or non stick pan with some sesame oil, then stir fry the chili paste for 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the same pan, heat up some oil again, and cook the shelled shrimps until it becomes brown. Set aside, let it cool for a while then slice the prawns in halves.</span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In another pot, saute some garlic and a few shallots in sesame oil. Add the prawn heads and shells. Stir fry until it becomes aromatic and pinkish. Add in 1 liter of water and bring to boil for 50 minutes to 1 hour or until the stock becomes foamy and the soup tastes prawny. </span></li>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Strain the stock, and remove the foam this time, add in the pork meat and bring back to boil again for another 40 minutes to 1 hour. (I usually fry my pork afterwards for extra flavor). Add the chili sauce paste at a desired amount. Season with. light soy, fish sauce and salt to taste. </span></li>

So I was practically in the hospital for several days and currently staying at my home in Makati, to take care of him. Thank God everything's fine now.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">In relation to my hobbies and interest in classical music, I just finished watching <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Beethoven Virus</span></b>, a Korean drama that depicted the lives of classical musicians and orchestra in Korea (of course). I am a K-drama fan, and I can say, that this is the best Korean Drama I have seen. It's unconventional and unpredictable compared to the typical cheesy Korean soaps. One of the lead actors Kim Myung Min even studied conducting for 5 months before they started out filming. The tapings were crucial, because they have to film and record the orchestra pieces separately, not to mention that some of the actors who don't really play real instruments had to study at least the sequence, posture, and the exact strokes to make the scene more realistic.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Very inspiring, compelling, and it definitely stood out among others because of its some degree of genuineness - <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">classical music</span></i>. Though apart from the small love triangle among the conductor, the trumpeter, and the violinist, the story focuses more on the on the other character's problems and issues as well - their struggles on being the outcasts of the classical scene (<i>a pub trumpeter, a violinist with Menier's disease, an old oboe player with crippling dementia, a blue-collar subordinate who plays contrabass, etc</i>) with their inner and personal battles. Despite the occasional comical insertions, Beethoven is by far, the most mature drama I have ever seen. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
First of all, my heartfelt<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"> congratulations</span></b> to those who advanced to the next challenge on<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><a href="http://www.foodbuzz.com/project_food_blog"> Project Food Blog</a></span></b>. Unfortunately I didn't make the cut, but I can proudly say I did my best despite of the few personal mishaps that happened to us.<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"> (<i>my kuya Paolo just died prior to the ongoing PFB, so I dedicate my first two challenges to him. May his soul rest in peace</i>)</span>. I 'm a little sad that I didn't make it, but on the other hand, I'm quite relieved in a way that I don't have be stressed out in planning for a luxurious dinner party and for the succeeding challenges. But I will still be reading your posts and will be voting for the deserving ones. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Even I won't be cramming for a luxury dinner party anymore, I had my proposed menu prepared already. So, despite that I didn't make it, I will still be posting some of the recipes I have formulated for the luxury dinner party. Its a deconstruction of some of the Filipino classics and fusion with other foreign cuisine. I was inspired by a good friend Lazaro of <a href="http://lazarocooks.blogspot.com/">Lazaro Cooks</a>, to put up and create a deconstructed Filipino menu, instead of going further with other regional / internation cuisine, since I want to promote and showcase Filipino cuisine to my fellow foreign foodies. So just watch out for the recipes on the coming days.<br />

Hooray! And congratulations to all those who advanced the first challenge of <a href="http://www.foodbuzz.com/project_food_blog/contestants/1077/">Project Food Blog</a>! And by writing this post now, that means I have made it to the next challenge too! Yipee!! For the next round, Foodbuzz Featured Publishers participants are asked to tackle a dish from another culture or are not as familiar with. That includes how we arrived at this decision in our post. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i style="color: #3d85c6;"> I am an adventurous eater rather than a picky and snobbish connoisseur, a food enthusiast rather than a gourmet,</i> and have tried different cuisines from different regions and countries. But I had a difficult time on deciding on what cuisine I should feature for my entry. I'm opting for a more challenging and a less familiar recipe. Something diverse and intense, yet little known and unfairly underrated. I have done a few Mediterranean, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, American, and others. And then I remember the first African dish I had in an<b style="color: #3d85c6;"> IMAM </b>fusion restaurant (stands for Indian, Mediterranean, African, and Middle Eastern) in Makati. <br />
<br />
<br />
<i style="color: #ea9999;">The dish I had was a lamb stewed in a special tomato puree infused with different spices and flavors, served with a sourdough spongy bread, exotic cottage cheese and some boiled eggs. </i>I can never forget the flavor and the aroma of the stew, and the soft, spongy texture of the pancake-like bread. <br />
<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The taste and texture is still vivid on my mind. Through my gustatory senses, I was suddenly taken to the wild Africa - <b><i style="color: #e69138;">to the exotic Food Safari </i></b>- its intense cookery, the diversity of its ecosystem and the rainbow-hued influences that color its culture. With the use of only basic ingredients available and sustainable in their geographical location, I had no idea that African cuisine can be as festive, and as royal as the Mediterranean cuisine. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<br />
I'm a trueblue spice lover. In fact whenever my hubby travels in different countries for work, he never forgets to send me boxes of spices. I have used different spices - those the custom-ground spices like the different masalas, the Italian Blends, the bouquet-garni, and the like, but I have <i>never</i> tried grinding and blending my own spices from scratch.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0M2o-TjkgriYW-vySc_42X8HnH8t_dAizTZl7dlixGrgPgwAlI3Bl5joM3aCbw3fzj0j72nHlP-_rkhFk7LCKbjAKMAYzQhRTR0Tv35fxIPoOShLdUrjQtr0BkI3Laejc8FjwFL6CBxRp/s1600/zigni+-+spices+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0M2o-TjkgriYW-vySc_42X8HnH8t_dAizTZl7dlixGrgPgwAlI3Bl5joM3aCbw3fzj0j72nHlP-_rkhFk7LCKbjAKMAYzQhRTR0Tv35fxIPoOShLdUrjQtr0BkI3Laejc8FjwFL6CBxRp/s400/zigni+-+spices+4.JPG" width="298" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The procedure, the ingredients, and the spices intrigued me, especially on how to make that spongy and sour Injera Bread. And I am excited about it. I also learned that in order for you to make an Injera bread, you need<i style="color: #e69138;"><b> "Teff"</b></i> seeds or flour, and finding that ingredient alone is very challenging. I almost gave up and said, I'll just be dining there whenever I crave for some East African dish. But after a few days of searching for it, I was fortunate to buy some at a local health grocery store. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
And then goes the <a href="http://www.foodbuzz.com/project_food_blog/contestants/1077/">Project Food Blog Challenge</a>, which gave me the opportunity and idea to tackle a dish from another culture that is way beyond my comfort zone. That's when I decided that I am making Ethiopian Lamb Zigni with Injera Bread. I may not pass onto the next challenge, but I can proudly say to myself and to evryone - <i style="color: #e06666;"><b><span style="color: #76a5af;">I have donned my bush jackets, tilted up my helmet, brought my binoculars, came, saw, and have conquered the African Food Safari. </span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<i><b>Procedure:</b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In a small frying pan, combine the cumin seeds, cloves, cardamom pods, black pepper, allspice, fenugreek and Coriander seeds.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cook over medium-low heat, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 1 minute.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Place in a blender or coffee grinder used for spices, add shallots and whirl until finely ground.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Discard stems and seeds from chilies. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Break up the pods and process until ground.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Combine with the toasted seasonings and the remaining spices.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Refrigerate in a well-sealed jar or a tightly closed plastic bag.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

3/4 cup all-purpose flour <br />
1 cup water<br />
a pinch of salt<br />
peanut or vegetable oil</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #ea9999; text-align: justify;"><i><b>Note:</b></i></div><div style="color: #ea9999; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you have teff grain instead of flour, first grind it in a clean coffee grinder, or with a mortar and pestle.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">For better results, you may cover the batter loosely with a paper towel and let stand, undisturbed overnight. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #e06666; text-align: justify;"><i><b>Procedure:</b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Put the teff flour in the bottom of a mixing bowl, and sift in the all-purpose flour.<br />
<br />
Slowly add the water, stirring to avoid lumps.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Stir in the salt.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Heat a nonstick pan or lightly oiled cast-iron skillet until a water <br />
drop dances on the surface.

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Coat the pan with a thin layer of batter. Injera should be thicker than a crêpe, but not as thick as a traditional pancake. It will rise slightly when it heats.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Cook until holes appear on the surface of the bread. Once the surface is dry, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do I have what it takes? Am I a cut above the rest? What makes me unique among others? These are a few questions always being asked whenever you enter any contests, reality shows, challenges, and on even job interviews. And these are the questions that has been overused, recycled, amplified, magnified, and exaggerated, yet still are the questions I'm afraid to answer. Often, simple questions are the difficult ones to answer....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Generally, most of us (I'm not a exception either) would say "I'm being me.... I'm being true to myself and to others, I have the utmost experience, and the self-praise goes on. The last time I encountered such questions was when I had my first job interview after college (that's when before I entered medical school). I still remember that I have memorized and rehearsed my line well. And now, after 6 years, here goes the same questions again, this time for the first blog theme of <a href="http://www.foodbuzz.com/project_food_blog/contestants/1077/">Foodbuzz's Project Food Blog</a>. Now, me, together with the rest of the contestants are being asked to write something about ourselves, what makes each one of us a unique Food Blogger, and do we have what it takes to be the next Food Blog Star....<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;"><b>My Passion.</b></span></i> I started blogging just last year. It started out as a general blog about little random things in my life. As time goes by, through blogging, I was able to discover more of myself, what I have always been wanting to do --- and with everything I do, whether I travel, celebrate, meet new people, learn about culture and history, hangout with friends and families, it has always being associated with one thing --- <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">FOOD</span></b>.<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"> It's inevitable, irresistible, and undeniable -- I love food!</span></i><br />
<br />
<br />

</div><br />
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;"><b>My Inspirations.</b> </span></i>So what inspired me from food blogging? My mom -- she was my first teacher. I started cooking at a young age. Everyone in the family loves to cook and eat good food. I also get my inspirations from from watching TV shows and reading magazines about travel and food. I love collecting recipe books on book sale and back issues of food magazines. Several personalities who travel around the globe and talk about history, culture, and food. Foodie Stars like Tony Bourdain, Mauve o' Meare, Bobby Chinn, Andrew Zimmern, and KF Seetoh are to name a few, my blogosphere foodie buddies, whom I have constantly shared recipes and experiences with. My family and friends who always enjoyed my home cooking, and most especially my fiance who has always been my greatest fan, and never failed to support me in any way.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Food is a big part of our lifestyle, whether it has to do with travelling, family gathering, photography, partying, or a restaurant hopping for some culinary adventure.</div></div><br />
It is fun to cook, but it is more fun to cook and share it with your loved ones. I think that inspires me to write about food -- <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"><b>the passion, the values of a typical local family cooking and dining together, the joy of celebration and feasting, my respect for the culture, philosophy, and history of a cuisine, rather than the science of cooking good food.</b></span></i><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><b>I Respect and Appreciate Cultural Cuisine</b></span><b>.</b></i><b> </b>Food for me, is not just food per se. A recipe is not just another mouthwatering dish to make. Food tells you alot about a place. Like I have mentioned, my love to travel and my inspiration from a few people taught me not only how to enjoy food, I also learned a lot about the lifestyle, culture and history behind any local and foreign cuisine. My blog is not only about recipes but it also serves as a food guide about the other face of Asian cuisine and the unknown ethnic delicacies.<br />

</div> I have learned that for you to appreciate and enjoy food, one must understand how the locals do it and what for. I at least try to make a classic dish before doing a deconstructed version or multicultural fusion of it. By keeping its classic principles and its values.....<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><b>My Advocacy</b></span></i><b>.</b> To introduce other unknown ethnic cuisine to the foodie blogosphere and also to promote my local Filipino cuisine, by making it world-class. I noticed that most foodies posts are more about the rustic Italian, classic and elegant French, and Southern American comfort, and Savory Asian. But there's more to Asian than just noodles and sushis. There's more to Filipino than just Adobo and Lechon. There's more to Mediterranean than kebabs and curries. <br />

There are more ethnic varieties in the North and East African Region, the other Islam Regions like the Egyptians and Afghans, and most especially, my homeland. I guess this is what I am proudly different among other foodies - my blog opens you to a whole, new gastronomic world. A virtual Food Safari. You'll see a little bit of everything - from the classics, to the fusion, and even exotic. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"><b>Let me take you on a cuisinary journey, and let my blog be your passport..... </b></span></i><br />

<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><b>I am a Bipolar Foodiephiliac.</b></span></i> I guess you may say my food reflects my personality and mood. Here you'll find some easy and quick recipes, and some are time and effort consuming ones. I enslave myself for hours when I'm in the mood to cook, and I whip up something quick yet yummy when I'm in a hurry. I have no particular favorites. <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">I can eat frugally and healthy, I can eat like Man vs. Food.</span></i><br />

</div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;"><b>No pretentious meal, just good food</b></span></i> (at least in my point of view). No technical terms, no culinary jargons, simply because I'm no professional, and not everyone who reads my blogs are professional either. I want to present my recipes as easy-to-do as possible, and I don't impress. I know for some reasons, we sometimes need to plate fancily, use uber expensive condiments, and sustainable and fresh local ingredients (which I sometimes do), but most of my recipes are more realistic and applicable to everyday meals. Rare and wild mushrooms, edible flowers, and fresh butter and milk are not always available everyday and everywhere, specifically in my place, where mushrooms and corns are comes in cans, and milk comes in cartons. But I at least feature and make reviews about fancy restaurants from time to time. I leave the elegant platings and jargons to the top chefs, and real food to big eaters like me. So basically, most of my recipes, even the deconstructed and with fusion, are not intimidating; therefore, <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">doable.</span></i><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I know it's <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #f6b26b;">waaaay overdue</span></b> to blog about this. For some reason, I forgot to post this event. Denz and I have been craving for meat dishes for weeks. Particularly grilled, like steaks, barbecues, ribs, etc. A part where we wanna release the beastly "id" in us. Where we just wanna devour a big slab of red, juicy, meat --- imagining a good quality steak with its fine marbling, poured with a glorious herbed, creamy, buttery sauce, or a rackasaurus big ribs slathered in rich, thick glaze, sided with fries, corn, or mashed potatoes, salads, all the works. Then, I suddenly missed the First Grilling Competition Event in Manila......... I miss the Legazpi Sunday Market. I miss the Grilla in Manila..... Boy, am I late for the Wordless Wednesday? Okay here comes my <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">Tasty Thursday</span></b>......</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Mabuhay bloggers, readers, friends! </span></b></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><i><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;"></span></b></i>It's so nice to be back here in the whole, wide, blogosphere. You might be wondering why the heck I hibernated from blogging and reading your posts. Finally, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><i>after 1 month</i></span>, my internet got fixed <i>just</i> yesterday. Yep, it took me a month before Smartbro's contractor came by to visit and check out my internet cable, only to find out that <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #3d85c6;">Smartbro</span></b> (my internet provider), redirected the signal sector that I should be getting. They shoud've told me earlier, instead of exhausting all means of troubleshooting with them. The contractor said, Smartbro was aware of that and was just cost-cutting. What a bull! It's just sooooo frustrating. I was on the verge of disconnecting my service with them, just thank God, I still have enough patience to wait till the 24th. I'm definitely filing for a rebate for this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyway, so much had happened to me for the past 3 weeks. Didn't do much cooking, but I had been a little busy getting back my social life - reunions, parties, birthdays, weddings and taking care of my brother in the hospital, a few eatouts, etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">The Wedding</span></i></span></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hubbylito's bandmate just got married last July. It was a solemn, emotional, classic, and a simple celebration. It was nothing of a flashy, jazzy, themey, and a show-off wedding. So as expected, no overwhelming preparation and bridezillas, obliged tasks and contributions or whatever (I remember being impelled <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;">to pay</span></i> for my bridesmaid gown. Money wasn't a thing, but being obliged to pay is a different story). The church (forgot the name), is also where the bride's baptism took place. Here are a few shots me and Denz have taken. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally, <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">after 10 years</span></i>, my highschool friends, and classmates held a dinner/cocktail reunion party. It was nice seeing old friends, classmates, and teachers. The geeks had turned into, still geeks. The pretty uptights have their own families already, and the easy-go-lucky are still the same (but at least some have changed, some drastically the opposite of what they used to be, some have become a couple). High school has the most memorable and fun moments. Every person or group has labels - the geek, the cheerleader, the rockstar, the bully, the popular, the jockey, the dork, the outcasts, etc, etc. It was just so nice to see everyone hanging out. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

It was nothing much serious, Jay just availed the free full medical insurance his company provides. At least something he could avail for free big time, just before he decided to leave his company. I stayed at the hospital for 3 days, with my sister. Good thing, my inlaw's girlfriend, Nikki, whose also a nurse (like my sis) is assigned at the same floor where we stayed. She pretty much took care of Jay's discharge. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">Today I won't be blogging about food. Just can't. Since yesterday, everyone in the house was quiet and mourning. Our 3-month old black labrador puppy, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"><b>Bloodreaver</b></span> (we call him <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b><i>Reave</i></b></span> for short) just died yesterday from an unknown complication of stomach flu (I am suspecting severe dehydration). I wasn't there yesterday, so nobody knew what kind of complication he had suffered from. Despite of all the complete shots he had received (which includes the antivirals, vitamins, fluids, and antibiotics for bacterial complications), plus my brother, Don and our helper was keeping an eye on him 24/7, unfortunately, he didn't survived. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">It started with a diarrhea, but that time, he's still active and playful. His vet gave him shots of antivirals and some vitamins, suspecting that it was a stomach flu. His diet was restricted to minimal servings only. Just when my dad thought that everything getting better, on the third day, he became weak, his diarrhea has become severe, kept on salivating, throwing up every meal and medicine intake, and was already slightly unresponsive. They called in the vet again, and all of his meds were administered intravenously. Don was watching over him 24/7. </div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I wasn't always there to take care of Reave, nor had the opportunity to bond with him, for I'm always at the hospital and I stay in my dorm. But my brother does. He's closest to Reave. When Don mentioned on his facebook status that Reave never made it, I messaged him and asked him if was it a peaceful goodbye. The painful part is, Reave died with tears in his eyes, literally. He just stretched his limbs and closed his teary eyes. In my entire life, when in comes to taking care of dogs, I've never seen nor heard such a thing, a dog literally in tears. And that just caught me in deep melancholy. I never had the chance to bond with Reave, but thru Don's story, I can somehow feel his pain. My last moments with Reave, was a day ago, talking and waving goodbye to him, and he responded by just wiggling his tail. Never knew that it will be goodbye for real....</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

If you ask any native Filipino about their favorite dish, I bet, if not all, at least a majority will say "<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e69138;">SINIGANG</span></b>". Many tourists may find it a little bit exotic, but it has gained popularity among expats as they eventually learned to love this dish just like adobo and pancit. For those who are not familiar what sinigang is -- Sinigang is a Pinoy soup characterized by its sour flavor. It has similarities with Indonesian's<b> </b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Sayur Asem</b></span></i> and Thai's<b> </b><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Tom Yam</b></span></i>, and usually gets confused with Malaysia's <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Singgang</b></span></i> (because they're all tamarind based soup like the sinigang). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">But what makes Sinigang different from them - aside from using tamarind, you can use a wider variety of ingredients as your sour base....... such as <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6fa8dc;">guava, calamansi, balimbing, and miso</span></i> (not the Japanese miso). You can use pork, chicken (the term becomes Sinampalukan), beef, and seafoods like prawn/shrimps and fish. Through the years, Sinigang has earned its way to being Pinoy's national dish, a comfort food for the soul. A soul food that can aid your ailments, and enough to arouse your senses and excite your palate.<br />
<br />
Nowadays, cooking is more convenient. Tamarind comes in cubes and powder form. But today, I'll be sharing a recipe, on how to cook Sinigang, the traditional way, in four easy steps...<br />

Add 4 cups of water, and let it boil for 15-20 minutes. Usually onions, chilis and tomatoes are added once the meat becomes tender. But I usually add half of those right from the start, which makes the meat tastier, because the spices and flavors have already infused inside the meat. </li>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the scum as it gathers. Lower the heat, add the rice water, and gabi (taro roots) and allow to simmer until the meat softens. Depending on what type of gabi you are going to used, normally, it takes some time to soften it. Gabi and rice water adds richness to the soup. Not necessarily thickens it, but at least adds a little consistency to it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

You may use other sinigang soup base in lieu of real tamarind<br />

</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Hello blogosphere, I wonder what's new. Sorry for not blogging for more than a week, still sick as usual. Last week I had some viral flu that eventually led to strep throat accompanied with fever. After a week of antibiotics and cough meds, I got well. Yeah, but onlyfor a week. Low immune system got me sick again, and until now, I am suffering from a hay-like fever with muscle and joint pains and still some colds. So I have been having a lot of bed rest, fluid therapy, paracetamol, and flu placebo just to doze me off to bed. Lesson learned, take your vitamins....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So what do I blog about now? Obviously I haven't cooked anything for three long weeks (that's how long I got sick, and just thank goodness for my recipe archives, I get to post some of the old dish I made for the past months). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Oh yeah, I forgot, haven't I told you I attended this amazing Foodie Event last month? It's the<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: orange;"><i> Ultimate Taste Test Event 4.0</i></span></b> , made possible by <a href="http://www.ourawesomeplanet.com/">Our Awesome Planet</a> and <a href="http://sanmiguellifestylebrews.com/">San Miguel Lifestyle Brews</a>. Imagine having the opportunity to taste and rate Manila's latest foods. I became an Ultimate Food Critic for a night! 52 food suppliers + 1,500 foodies. OAP's email confirmation did not registered the names instantly, thus the overbooking of more slots than the original 1000 only. I did enjoy this event despite of the overcrowding. Overflowing with yummy goodies like sushis, empanadas, canapes, pastas, Filipino food, hors d'oeuvre, healthy treats, roasts, new and catchy innovative dishes, and overflowing of desserts, that I just have to decline on some.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What's also good about this food fair, that it is also a Foodie Event for a cause. All the proceeds went to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">MASED</span>, a foundation that supports livelihood and education for out-of-school youths. Talking about guiltless gluttony.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">One of my favorites is from<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #e06666;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"><i>Nutri-Organics</i></span></b>. They make nutritious and healthy chuckle dips with<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;"> Spirulina, Moringa, Lemongrass and Wheatgrass</span></b>. My favorites - The Italian Dip with Lemongrass and Wheatgrass, and the Taco dip with Spirulina. They are suprisingly delicious. I wasn't a lemongrass fan, as a matter of fact, I hated the scent and after taste of lemongrass, but they did an amazing job of complementing it with the Italian herbs, olive oil, lemon, and wheatgrass. One element complements the other. I can't get enough of the Spirulina Taco Dip. I was eager to buy a bottle, only that they were not allowed to sell any products that night.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">If you happen to visit the Salcedo Saturday Market and Legazpi Sunday Market regularly, then you are familiar with this Frenchman Pierre Marmonier who makes the best fruit jams in town. Pierre uses an old French technique using our local fruits such mangoes, pineapples, and strawberries. He makes them by cooking each small batch of jams in copper cauldrons; moreover regulating a strict 60/100gms proportion of fruits to jam concoction. Must-try are their <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Mango-Lavender, Mango-Ginger, Mango Spices</span></i> (with cloves, cinammon, very Christmasy), and <i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #ea9999;">Pineapple Coco Rhum</span></i>. Visit their <a href="http://www.thefruitgarden.net/">"website"</a> for more details. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Not only that we got the opportunity to have a free taste of Manila's newest food, got to deliberate scores and give suggestions, we also had the opportunity to help a foundation in building dreams of the young. The free stuffs doesn't end there. I got home with free Foodie Magazine, kitchen magnets, etc.......</div><br />
