I first read about 10 Dove Street from one of my favorite bloggers, Ms. Aileen of Travel.Food.Finds.  She takes really amazing photos, and I bet you too will drool over her yummy pictures of the cakes she and her friend had when they visited this quaint little café nestled inside a residential subdivision in Cebu (read her blog post here). Yes, the quaint little café is ... READ MORE

A Veggie Good Breakfast from Starbucks

03.28.2013 by Leah // 2 Comments

I discovered this veggie sandwich from Starbucks 2 weeks ago and I've had this as breakfast/lunch at home and at work for more than 3x already. The Ratatouille and Mozarella Cheese on Multigrain Bread is so flavorful and filling that it's enough to tide me over until lunch.   It's also my meal of choice in observance of fasting (from meat) this lenten ...

Not your usual Ham & Cheese Sandwich

01.25.2013 by Leah // Leave a Comment

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

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 ❤
