about me

I am fascinated with all things cooking- and baking-related, especially technique. I'm a kitchen gadget junkie, spending an hour at the kitchenware store without realizing it. I also like to read food blogs which have colorful pictures and accompanying recipes.

I'm addicted to Recipezaar, hehehe. I check the homepage everyday to see the "Photo of the Day" and the new photos and recipes posted. I also enjoy reading the community forums, especially "Cooking Photos" and "Breads & Baking"; the latter is how I came to adopt my new pet---my Red Sea sourdough starter.

Found this funny poem on the forums, true author unknown:

I didn't have potatoes, so I substituted rice.
I didn't have paprika, so I used another spice.
I didn't have tomato sauce, so I used tomato paste;
A whole can, not a half can - I don't believe in waste.
A friend gave me the recipe; she said you couldn't beat it.
There must be something wrong with her, I couldn't even eat it!

Favorite Foods:

I've tried to duplicate my favorite Filipino foods: so far, I've made Pancit Canton, Pork Adobo (in slow cooker), Pan de Sal (Baliwag-style), Mung Bean Hopia, Ginataan Bilo-Bilo, Champorado, Bibingka Malagkit, Mamon, Polvoron, Bistek, and Turon. I hope to add more to this list!
