MyParty. Finds. A Home.

We’re currently staying at an efficiency suite so our hotel room has a small kitchen. For me, my quickest to fix food is a pasta dish. This particular one is my family’s favorite, which I can easily make from a store-bought jar of alfredo sauce, a can of tuna, a can of mushrooms, a pack [...]

Corn chips. Preferably with medium hot salsa. Yum. I guess, corn chips are a primary reason why my husband has such high uric acid levels, haha! This is our favorite snack, especially while watching tv or a movie or while contemplating mundane stuff like where to get swimming pool supplies for our future pool, etc. [...]

To play around with the theme, I was thinking of featuring lechon – because its not good for the heart. Then I thought about a salad – because its good for the heart. Then I thought of bopis – because its made with innards, including the heart. And also of kare-kare – complete with banana [...]

Welcome back, LaPiS! Although I’m always late in posting my entries, I have always enjoyed joining this photo/food meme and missed it a whole lot while it went on temporary hiatus. Anyway, here I am again, still late but still joining! For its comeback, the LaPiS theme is chocolate. Yum.  My kind of theme. As [...]

My godchild celebrated her first birthday a few months back. The theme for her birthday is perfect for the LaPiS theme: Strawberry Shortcake. The picture above is a basket of chocolate-covered strawberries which served as the main centerpiece. Her Strawberry Shortcake fondant cake was homemade by a good friend. It had a lot of, of [...]

My daughter is not a big fan of fast food. Give her a choice between rice and fries, she’d readily choose rice. But in the event that we have to have fast food, McDonald’s Chicken Nuggets are all she would eat. The fact is, I was only able to make her eat this for the [...]

During my graduate school days, especially during those stressful crunch times when I needed some extra protein to boost my brain, Brothers Burger was my go-to. So now that we’re back in Manila, Brothers was one of the first fast food joints that I insisted hubby should take me to. Granted that the burgers seem [...]

My previous entry for LaPiS was the puto, the logical companion for the dish above, which is the Dinuguan. Made with pig’s blood, it is definitely an acquired taste for some people. If you ask me, I don’t eat it. Never had, never will. Although I don’t share the enthusiasm of other people as they [...]

Multi-colored carbo-loading, anyone? I love these rainbow-colored little rice-cakes (puto). They can work as perfect companions to savory meals like pancit and dinuguan, but they can also be eaten by itself as a snack. I can eat half a bilao of this, actually. But then, I would also need half a bilao of fat burners, [...]

We were in Lucban, Quezon this past weekend and stuffed ourselves silly with all manner of local food and delicacies. The clincher? This small, unassuming bottle of Lambanog. No taller than 6-inches, this bottle carried a punch. I took four (or five, I don’t remember now, haha!) shots and I deftly forgot how to spell [...]
