I’m (really) bad at keeping secrets. I really wanted to wait for our (my cousin R’s also enrolled here! YAY!) jackets but arghhh! I cannot wait to spill the beans!

The facade of my new school

I just had my orientation last Saturday morning and I’ve already made a friend! heeeheee Classes start about a month and a half from now. Gah. I CANNOT WAIT!

Do food bloggers post and share their cart contents? Am not too sure but as a beauty (and sort of fashion) blogger, it’s one of those silly things that we do: share the products of our retail therapy.

Becoming a Chef by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page

smitten ov’r my new read

I’ve been looking for this book forever! The foreword’s written by one of the best chefs and writers in my book, Madeleine Kamman. Recommended by a relative, this book is a truly formidable read!

Available at Fully Booked (Bonifacio High Street) for PhP1498.

Envirosax in Retro Kitchen #3 and Wilton’s Pure Vanilla Extract

I don’t come very often to Gourdo’s in The Fort (I frequent Promenade and Living Well, Podium) and finding Envirosax is such a wonderful surprise! I couldn’t decide which Retro Kitchen baggie to get but to be safe (too safe actually) I grabbed the pink one. The aqua’s such a beauty too!

The pure vanilla extract’s a staple in my kitchen. I need to have at least an extra bottle for backup. *wink*

ps. I also got a blocks of chocolates and a seamless knife the other day but am saving it for review.

Look what Jayvee and I found in the heart of the Angkor Night Market!

*drool*

shakers

More shakers plus mortars and pestles!

Booze with snakes and scorpions! Oh yeah!

TAMARIND???

I seriously almost lost it! I was totally confused what to buy and bring home! We ended up just buying the really delish Ratanakiri Cambodian Cafe Powder (or simply Cambodian coffee) that’s sold for $4 per 100g (x10, I kept 2 for myself and the rest were pasalubongs LOL).
