Fat No More

Have you ever noticed why there are no fat women who are popular make-up artists? I don’t think that’s necessarily a prejudice. I think women who enter cosmotology schools naturally just become more conscious of their appearance and take care of themselves better. If you are a client, you’d be more attracted to someone who you know can take care of herself too, right? So if you need to find a beauty school for you, go to FindABeautySchool.com. The web site makes it fast and easy for prospective students to find the beauty school that’s perfect for them because they are the most complete, convenient beauty school directory on the Web. They have included every accredited beauty school in the United States, searchable by state or zip code and even  provided links to their Web sites so you can check them out for yourself.

Cup Number 12

Starbucks red cup

I am on my 12th cup in the race to get the coveted Starbucks 2010 planner. Only three holiday and two non-holiday beverages to go and I can finally have one. I am quite partial to hot Dark Cherry Mocha but I go back to my favorite Caramel Macchiato all the time. I see a lot of nursing students in Starbucks too, no doubt reviewing for the upcoming board exams (I clearly remember when I reviewing and had to learn all about emergency evacuation in two days).

Maybe I will get a Peppermint Mocha Decaf in my next order.

Kanin Club: Crispy Dinuguan

Crispy Dinuguan Kanin Club

Crispy Dinuguan Kanin Club

Dinuguan
P120.00
Spicy pork stew flavored by vinegar and pork blood. like European blood sausage, except it’s stew

 

If I could have my way, I would eat this viand every other week, served with Aligue rice, but then I would have to double my Kettlebell exercise time and I haven’t even been exercising that much lately.

This treat comes with a twist as the pork has been deep fried, giving it a crispy crunchy taste before setting it in dinuguan – I like it!

Kanin Club: Seafood Kare Kare

I am sure that Toronto hotels won’t be serving this yummy treat:

Seafood Kare Kare kanin club

This is the yummy Seafood Kare Kare which was ordered by the birthday girl, my Mom. I really an am not a fan of seafood with sauces (I prefer them steamed, grilled or fried) but this one is an exception. I devoured all the pusit in record time and helped myself to the clams too!

Kanin Club: Ensaladang Talong and Adobong Kangkong

Ensaladang Talong kanin club
Ensaladang Talong

A traditional accompaniment to pinoy fare: grilled eggplants with freshly- chopped onions and vinaigrette. A salad with bite!
adobong kangkong kanin club

Adobong Kangkong
P65.00
Fresh green water spinach sauteed with onions, garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. It bites!

So we would not feel so guilty eating the aligue rice and then some more meaty goodness and have our bcbsnc health plans used right away (because we might get hospitalized!), we ordered these tasty veggies from the menu. I personally liked the eggplant ensalada as it was really tasty!

Kanin Club: Aligue Rice

So I start with featured pictures from our latest eating expedition at the Kanin Club.

 

Aligue Rice
P100.00
This fried rice sauteed with crab fat is so worth the extra hour you’ll need to do in the gym tomorrow. Serves 2 to 3

Aligue Rice Kanin CLub

Not for the faint of heart (and those with high blood pressure, most definitely), this rice is sure to keep you full even with a few spoons of viand alone. I thought I need to scout for cheap insurance after eating it because I might die early! :)

Restaurant Business.

A few friends invested what they have earned from their online writing gigs on food stalls. Surprisingly, it did very well so what they are doing now is expanding. Expansion has been very stressful and taxing for them as money has been flying out the window as fast as it can. They recently hired a Las Vegas accounting firm to help them account every single penny they have been earning and it has helped a lot. Bookkeeping has not been one of my friend’s strongest points so spending money for competent people to track down her expenses was one of her wisest investments so far.
