I’ll be the first to admit, I am a gadget junkie. This weekend I stepped inside the mall and stepped out with an electric groom tool and a soft serve ice cream maker. It really didn’t matter that even the salesman tried to dissuade me to get the groom tool or that I had previously bought [...]

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 [...]

I remember the exchange of emails just like it was yesterday. A couple of Filipina friends exploring the possibility of starting a cooking club that would promote Filipino food. We talked about designing a banner and spent a few days coming up with an “introduction” to our club. We talked about having monthly themes which [...]

I had a friend who was visiting for a few days and I found out that she had stopped eating meat since the last time I saw her. On a whim, I told her that I too would give up meat. If you read my blog, you’ll notice that I’ve always loved cooking/eating meat [...]

I once challenged my husband (then boyfriend) to a food contest. We were planning a dinner and I told him that we both should come up with our own menu and get my Mom to judge which was better. He had very simple tastes (then) and I since I would pour over food magazines during [...]

“Why can’t you help out more with the housework?” I screamed at my husband early on Saturday. I must have shocked him at six in the morning but I was tired and grumpy and the dogs were whimpering for a walk and I wanted him, for once, to take care of it. “Where is this [...]

A year ago I attempted to make har gow and failed miserably. It might have been because I used wheat flour instead of wheat starch and the resulting dough was so sticky that I had to throw the “ball of glue” away. The experience was enough to turn me away from trying to make them [...]

Being invited to someone’s house for dinner always poses a problem for me. I often wonder, what’s the best thing to bring? Given a choice between bringing the standard wine, flowers or food, I’ll inevitably resort to bringing food. Then there’s the dilemma of what dish to bring. Do I bring an entree or dessert? [...]

I think that at some point in time, most of us have openly defied our parents. When I was growing up I had friends who would skip school, or go out with boys their parents banned them from seeing. Some of them take up drinking and go out past their curfews. Me? My form of [...]

There are New Year’s resolutions I make that I never keep, despite good intentions. The other day I realized it was already mid January and I still hadn’t gotten around to exercising, or reading my “book of the month”. Sometimes I think to myself, would it work if I made some Reverse New Year’s Resolutions [...]
