Did I tell you the Blog Monster went back home? Last Sunday. It’s been almost a week since she left and while I can tell you I am missing her… my kitchen must be missing her much more. Gone are the days when the refrigerator was so full that an actual free space was more [...]

Awhile back I told my husband – “You must have fed me something!” “What do you mean?” He asked. “Well, you know I never used to like you…” I told him. And I’m still scratching my head thinking about what aphrodisiac he must have fed me to make me fall in love. Could it have [...]

Posted in Uncategorized, tagged adobo, david chang, fried chicken, momofuku, octo-vin on January 24, 2010 | 46 Comments »
This month, the Kulinarya Cooking Club decided to feature Adobo! To many, this is considered our national dish. Ask any Filipino and they will tell you that they have the “best” adobo recipe. It’s no wonder that there are so many variations of this dish. But I tell you – I think I have discovered [...]
In Search of Perfection… Lychee Perfection

In my younger years, perfection meant a number to me. For example: 4 – was the dress size I strove to become and so I ran every morning, joined a gym and forced myself to eat oatmeal (although I hated it) for breakfast. 5 feet 5 inches was the height I thought was ideal for [...]
The Beach House Banana Bread

The beach house was tucked away in a sleepy suburb 45 minutes away from the city center. At first, no one seemed to mind the trek to what would be our home for the next four days. We were all excited about the prospects of an extended weekend, a long overdue family vacation. My first [...]

We’re off! To Tasmania, that is! The whole clan is headed for a weekend trip and it’s going to be a blast! So if you don’t hear from me for a few days – you now know why! In the meantime, I’ll leave you with The Blog Monster’s quick and easy weekday meal. Pollo a [...]
The Blog Monster Strikes Again – Mango Jubilee!
Posted in Cook, tagged caramel, dessert, mango jubilee, vanilla ice cream on January 12, 2010 | 54 Comments »
Just a quick note to let you know I’ve been banned from my own kitchen as the Blog Monster has officially taken over kitchen duties. “Trissa, you watch and take pictures while I cook” she told me. As many of you would probably agree, being prohibited from cooking in your own kitchen is cause for [...]
“Huevos Rotos” (Broken Eggs)

Tapas, Chorizo, Fried Egg, Jamon Serrano I have to admit things were not going smoothly Saturday morning as my Mum and I prepared breakfast. There was some debate with the Blog Monster as to how this dish was really made. “Jamon.” I said. “Chorizo!” She answered “Jamon!!” I replied “Chorizo! This is what we used [...]
The Blog Monster’s Sombrero Pie

I think I may have created a blog monster. Ever since I posted my Mum’s Canelones recipe and taught her to comment, she’s been very enthusiastic to say the least, about this little hobby of mine. Take for instance the comment she left on this blog: Triss, It was great doing the step by step [...]
Learning From Mum… and Teaching Mum

Is it just me or do none of your family members comment on your blog as well? I know they read it but no matter how much I bribe (“I’ll give you some cookies that I baked in exchange for a comment”) or beg (“please, please leave a comment”) – still no comment. It would [...]
