One of the downsides of being in a relationship with someone as competitive as yourself, is that this normally extends to even food choices. On our recent London trip, we had lunch at Heston Blumethal’s restaurant, Dinner. The menu was developed by Heston and Ashley Palmer-Watts who heads the Dinner ktichen, and focuses on historically [...]

What Happened in Paris…

It could have been the overcast sky that greeted me. Or, maybe the fact that after more than 24 hours on a plane with three different stopovers, I was told that the airline had lost my luggage… or having to spend my first two days on my own… Something, in Paris, was off. I had [...]
Salted Caramels & A Feature in Yummy Magazine

I admit that I have an unhealthy obsession with cookbooks and food magazines. One of my favourite magazines is one published in the Philippines called Yummy. I’ve been a long time reader and used to always ask my Mom to buy them and bring me copies when she would visit. I was thrilled when last [...]

This evening for dinner we had lamb and brussel sprouts. My nephew, who is eight, did nothing to hide his dislike for the vegetable. His parents asked him to keep an open mind and despite his protests, insisted that he at the very least, have a little taste before saying he didn’t like brussel sprouts. [...]
Bizou

Bizou came into our lives around December of 2007. The fact that a three hour car drive turned into eight before we finally managed to take her home should have given me some inkling on what a trouble maker she was, but of course, back then, I was just thinking of her as a companion [...]

We were once asked to fill out a questionnaire at work that was meant to assess our strengths and weaknesses. The survey had over 150 questions and we were meant to share our results with our group when done. After the 10th question, I gave up, there was simply no way I was going to [...]
The Lives You Can Help… Japan Relief Efforts and Blogger’s Auction
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged auction, japan relief effort on March 24, 2011 | 7 Comments »
The other day I came across an email written by a Japanese lady who lives in Australia. I had been watching the news and was saddened about the tsunami and earthquakes that have hit Japan but nothing was quite as moving as the letter I had read. I thought instead of summarizing the letter, I [...]
Please Help Those Affected by The Queensland Floods

It was really only a day or two ago I realized how badly I underestimated how much devastation has been brought about by the floods occurring in Queensland. Already, three quarters of the state has been declared a disaster zone. In September 2009 a typhoon hit the Philippines. My parents, were among those affected. The [...]

My friends have been known to say that I like to complicate things. I once complained to my husband that there was too much sun coming into the bedroom window which was waking me up earlier than I wanted. I thought long and hard about how to fix this and finally I decided that [...]

Very early on Saturday, with my husband still in a deep slumber, I snuck out of bed, put on my thickest pair of socks and tiptoed down to the kitchen. I held my breath as I passed the guest room, fearing that even my breathing would be loud enough to be heard. The wagging [...]
