Bicol Express

We’re absolutely not Bicolanos but that didn’t stop my little sister, Thea from impressing my brother and his friends when she gave Bicolano’s best, Bicol Express a shot for a teaser on his birthday last month.

This is a supposedly super spicy hot recipe but as per requested by me and the gang, she made it more tolerable to our Asian palate, LOL. And because it was done the way we wanted it, we all ended up asking for more. It was so good that you could puff a stick of davidoff after. Good thing the other recipes on the table were just as good (pork rib barbecue, grilled tuna belly, the popular “pansit” (stir fry egg noodles) and vegetable salad) enough to curb our cravings for the already consumed teaser.

The following day she was compelled to make another round of it… for dinner this time. :D

Stylish Cupcake Holder

Having cupcakes on your parties has never been this easy with the use of stylish cupcake holder that you can get from the stores today.

My sister-in-law, Melody likes preparing parties for children no matter how simple it is. She bought this cupcake holder so she could present my niece, MJ with cupcakes on her birthday. In April this year, during my daughter’s birthday I also made use of the same holder to come up with this presentation.

See, I don’t even have to be a baker to please my daughter and her friends. Pre made cup cakes are readily available at the grocery stores. I just had to pick a few bags, unpack each of them, place in a holder and add colorful decorative (marshmallows and candies) to it to make it look attractive.

No sweat and you too can do it at home. Next time you make a trip to your favorite department store try to include a cup cake holder on your list. It shouldn’t cost you that much. ;)

White Stand Fan by Hertz Technology

A site asked me to write about english riding helmets but before that let me just make a quick way for my newly purchased household item – a white stand fan by Hertz Technology.

I was compelled to buy this fan when my air conditioning system as well as my wall fan got busted due to power supply shortages we’ve been experiencing for three months now.

I was just going to buy a desk fan which is cheaper but I saw this one first at the first store that I went in to and could no longer think of looking anywhere else. It is white and to me it’s elegant. And what surprises me above all is that like ACs it has a remote control that features a timer too! Isn’t it cool? I don’t know about you but I don’t find it typical for an ordinary stand fan to have a remote control… at least not here where I live.

Just barely a day after I bought the fan, I had the AC fixed. I felt so dumb but then again, I find myself using the fan more often now than I do the AC. But not when it gets steamy hot. I can’t be whining over a migraine-stirring weather when I know there’s a way to avoid it.
