Not your usual Ham & Cheese Sandwich

01.25.2013 by Leah //

While making breakfast last weekend, I found some left-over mozzarella cheese at our freezer (yes, I keep my cheeses there because they're easier to grate when frozen) and with the remaining slices of black pepper ham  bought from Earle's Delicatessen, I made these open-faced ham and cheese sandwiches using wheat rolls as base. The full-flavored mozzarella cheese gave ... READ MORE

Easy Bacon Pesto Pasta

10.08.2012 by Leah //

My family and relatives love, love my bacon pesto pasta and they always ask me to make one whenever there's an occasion, or simply when they are craving for it. Did you know that it takes only two (2) ingredients to make my mean pesto sauce? And because I'm feeling happy today I'm gonna share my secret recipe with you.  There's nothing magic about it, really, and yet ... READ MORE

Sausages and Eggs

08.05.2012 by Leah //

Our brunch today: The sausages were bought from Earle's Delicatessen (our favorite deli!) and one good thing I like about this deli is that you can buy the sausages in pieces!  A piece of the Thuringer Bratwurst is only P49.00 and the Frankfurter only P35.75! We used the leftover baby potatoes from the roast chicken and made it into an potato egg omelet. The sourdough buns ... READ MORE

Sausage and Vegetable Bake

06.03.2012 by Leah //

This is the perfect dish to make when you have guests coming over at a short notice.   Prepping up the ingredients is a breeze, and baking takes less than 15 minutes only with the Saladmaster Electric Skillet. For this super easy one-pan dish, you will need: 2 garlic bulbs, sliced in half 2 red onions, sliced into 6 wedges each 2 white onions, sliced into 6 wedges ... READ MORE

An English Breakfast, Pinoy Style

02.19.2012 by Leah //

I've been meaning to share these English bangers that we discovered at Earle's Delicatessen.  We regularly shop there for our sandwich delis, and recently we discovered that they sell ready-to-cook English bangers, Pinoy longganisa and even Hickory baby back ribs as well.     They sell the English bangers by the dozen and a pack costs just around P110.00 - P120.00, depending on ...

9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi 9 months ago this feisty little cat we named Gigi came to us super dirty (gusgusin to the max), malnourished and is in bad need of treatment for worms and fleas. Who would've thought that she will bloom into a really pretty cat, with salmon-colored nose, beautiful doe eyes, a prominent white hair scarf, and powdery white cheeks. 

But she is very far from innocent, and is now feared by the male cats here twice her size because she is #GigitheCatBully pala 😅 

Happy 9th monthsary, Gigi Ganda 🥰

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
