I made ginataang for the first time! I don’t know why, but I’ve been craving it lately. The comforting warmth of the hot coconut cream mixed with the soft, melty bilo-bilo and the crunch of the jakfruit… the list goes on. I used Kawaling Pinoy’s recipe, which was very easy to follow for a beginner […]
They ended up tasting pretty bad. Oh well. Happy Valentine’s Day!
It’s my birthday today! The neat thing about being an adult is having the ability (aka money) to make weird financial decisions. I didn’t make any plans to go outside, but I wanted to have a cake, so I half-jokingly wondered if any places delivered cakes. Turns out the local 85c bakery does! So I […]
Last year I made these really delicious dark chocolate orange slice & bake cookies, and because I am a creature of habit, I made them again. They’ve become my favorite recipe for cookies. You can eat them plain as well. I wanted to try something new and use white chocolate, since they were on sale. […]
After prepping and packing for the con, I met up with my friends for dinner at Pike Place Market! It was super windy, but the setting sun was gorgeous, so we walked around while waiting for our table. Seattle is filled with all sorts of quirky graffiti haha. Chan is always a safe dinner plan, […]
The cherry blossoms are here again!! Daniel and I took a trip to the Quad this past weekend. I dressed up today~ We were both pretty hungry, so we stopped by for some food on the Ave first. ^^ After some wandering around, we decided on U:DON! I’ve been wanting to check this place out, […]
As mentioned in an earlier post, Liz and I made a bunch of different kinds of cookies for Valentine’s Day. It actually took us 3 days! I just had so many recipes I wanted to try… Anyways, before starting I asked Daniel what kind of cookies/chocolates he might want, and he mentioned orange/fruit with chocolate. […]
During high school, my friends and I would get together and make cookies for Valentine’s Day. I, being a diehard romantic, always loooooved the idea of baking for someone special — even if they were just for my friends. Reading manga about girls staying up late baking for the person they like + their friends… it […]
This year I spent the holidays in California with my relatives. My great aunt flew in from Missouri, so we had a little reunion! It was a quiet Christmas day cooking together and watching TV. I was in charge of photographing the food (as always), however I wasn’t able to shoot everything. We forgot to […]
This afternoon we drove to Santa Monica Seafood in Costa Mesa for lunch! It had a fish market filled with many types of freshly-caught and prepared fish as well as a cafe! Despite the pouring rain, the outdoor seating area was well-heated and it was pretty relaxing having the rain for background noise (once you […]
