A Week-Long (Free) Vacation

11.21.2015 by Leah // 2 Comments

Where and how did you spend your APEC week vacation? I spent mine mostly at home; taking the days off as opportunity to catch up on cleaning and to do the things that were forever in my to-do lists. It was not purely R&R though; I have to check my office email at least once a day to see if there are urgent matters to attend to, update reports and review our ... READ MORE

Bread and Italian Sausage Muffins

Happy 2015! How did your New Year celebration go?  AJ and I chose to spend it at home as usual (after dinner at my parents's house) and we celebrated the New Year with our homemade Chocolate Ganache Tart with Caramelized Apples on the side.  I posted a picture of this sweet ending to our fab 2014 over at my Instagram account (follow me @dbrightspot). We also made Roast ... READ MORE

Roast Chicken with Italian Sausage and Bread Stuffing

12.22.2014 by Leah // 7 Comments

Our sumptuous lunch today:  Roast Chicken with Italian Sausage and Bread Stuffing. The idea for this recipe came to me last Thanksgiving after seeing pictures and pictures of Stuffed Turkey in my Instagram feed.  So I looked it up online and saw this easy-to-do recipe for turkey stuffing at epicurious.com.  I waited for my Christmas leave at work to try the recipe (para ...

Product Review: Asahi Convection Oven

02.03.2014 by Leah // 155 Comments

If I will be asked to name a kitchen appliance that newly-wed couples should immediately invest in, it's the convection oven.  We belatedly bought ours in August last year and right now, we use it more than we use our microwave oven and gas stove.  There's just so much you can do with a convection oven and so much flexibility as compared to, say, microwave oven or oven ...

Roasted Chicken Stuffed with Cream of Mushroom

12.30.2013 by Leah // 22 Comments

Here's a very easy recipe for roasted chicken that you can try for your Media Noche tomorrow.  It is adopted from the recipe of the same title that I found while browsing through the Assumption Cookbook (Pearl Edition), prepared by the High School Class of '79. Two (2) things love about this roasted chicken recipe:  (1) you need only 4 ingredients to prepare it, and (2) no ... READ MORE

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 ❤
