Cafe Maurice

We are a fan of convenience stores. Whenever we go out, I make it a point for us to stop at a 7-11 store near our place because I conveniently remember we need bread (we only eat Gardenia bread and our neighborhood is too simple to even have them stocked at stores, the bread supplied by the nearest bakery 45 minutes away gets moldy after 24 hours – PROMISE!). Our bread supply per week is around 100 bucks because the princess wants the soft pandesal every now and then (and french toast too!). I also pick up coffee in cans and some chips, again, not sold within our neighborhood. I can easily spend 500 bucks there. They recently hired another security guard and added security cameras because there have reported burglaries on the stores along that road and they are the only ones left not burglarized (yet). So whenever we go there past midnight, it is only the husband who goes in – we need to put the safety of our kids first.

So while I went and did some grocery shopping last Friday, I managed to pick up what seems to be a nice and easy cookbook for our househelp (she is the one who cooks in the house )) It is in our native language and what I like most about it is the ingredients are things we can get in the local market as well. It has appetizers, fish, veggies, chicken, pork and beef plus desserts too. I actually highlighted the recipes we will be including in our menu this week (fish, veggies and chicken as my kids are not fan of pork) while I was viewing an insurance quote I received by email. I will share here in my blog pictures and the recipe if it tastes good

Most viruses actually have direct transmission, for example, sneezing and holding hands without washing them. In restaurants, food handlers and staffer have strict instructions to “wash as they go” especially when they are in the bathroom. Most of them even have posters that have instructions on how to wash hands properly. That is why there are automatic hand dryers in their toilets as well as they do not need to touch anything inside the bathroom after they have washed their hands. This is actually a good practice to do at home too.

Do you want to know how to lose weight quickly? You can either use quick trim, one of the best weight loss supplements which has great feedback, or read this:

This is This Is Why You’re Fat: Where Dreams Become Heart Attacks and based from the reviews I have read, it will certainly make you think twice before you eat that burger. You can look at their site to look at the foods we usually eat (and I hope you won’t lose your appetite with all the food you will see).

Two of my friends are pregnant and they are both on their 7th month of pregnancy. I am very excited for them as babies are always huge blessings for the family. I also envy them because they can eat anything they want and still not gain so much! It must be in their genes. I remember when I was pregnant I wasn’t even advised to take a prenatal multivitamin because my weight gain per month was short of alarming already! With my first child, I craved a certain type of spaghetti and strawberries. With my second, Starbucks coffee (I was such a stubborn mom for caffeine), dried mangoes and siomai with lots and lots of chilli!
