Cafe Maurice

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 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 [...]

Dinuguan

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 [...]

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

Not for the faint of heart (and [...]

I want a coffee maker for Christmas – extra points if it’s going to be a jura capresso or an espresso machine. But since I am the only one who really drinks coffee here (the husband is only here during weekends), such expense on a gadget solely for me might not be practical. BUT if [...]

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 [...]

We were finally able to try out this restaurant for my Mom’s birthday. Simple surroundings packed with lots of tasty food. I actually love it – would love to come back. I am sure the husband would love it there.
More pictures soon. I just have to compose my thoughts first.
