Today’s random act of kindness (RAOK):

Something is both good and wrong here in my cube…

You’re welcome very much, Fran!! :-*

Do I like your “lil gift”? ME LOVES IT!!!

Monday + massive work = no lunch
temporary solution = Go to the Dégustation set of my Flickr. Me wants the following now:

Kape Isla’s Penne Aligue
I love it gently burnt like this. It gives of this interesting bitterness against the salty aligue sauce.

Pancake House’s Caesar Salad
Love the sour dressing. Not loving the small serving.

My Corned Beef
Corned beef + fresh thyme (my favorite herb) + chopped green olives + green, black, and red peppercorn + Parmesan cheese. Yes, am maarte like that. My friend Bunny even suggests I throw in thinly sliced chives. That’d just be WOW.

Mmmmm. How about you? What’s for lunch? Thrill me.

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.

Sorry, I just had to post this! Am such a sucker for pretty little things!

Available at Living Well, Podium for PhP300.

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).
