Homecooked Food – still the best :)

While I was looking for door hangers I can order for our house, I suddenly craved for the homecooked meals my sisters-in-law cooked for us when we visited them a few weeks ago. I am not really a good cook, so I really enjoy their meals whenever we are there.

Here are some of their great dishes:

Spicy tahong – great appetizer, perfect pair with beer :)

Beef kaldereta – this is a specialty of my sister-in-law’s mom, truly one of a kind!

Kitchen Light Fixtures

 

Kitchen light fixtures can transform your kitchen. Your kitchen space can be enhanced by the addition of extra kitchen light fixtures. The look and even ambiance or feel of your kitchen is guaranteed to be changed for the better, given the correct choices. It is an easy way to make a simple home improvement. With all of the selection of home lighting fixtures out there to choose from, there is certain to be one that meets your distinct needs and taste. You just need to decided which areas you need to light or enhance the lighting. Pot lights under the cabinets are a popular choice for lighting. Many people have them installed or buy kits to do it themselves. They usually run about a foot apart and hide neatly in place. No wires are seen and the appearance is nice and tidy. At night when the pot lights are turned on, there is enough light from them, to light up most of the space – and it gives a cozy, warm and intimate feel.

The use of pendant light fixtures above the kitchen table make a bold statement in a room. The pendant could be big enough to take up most of the table top if it is a round table, or add drama to a large rectangular shaped one. They can come in many colors and patterns to help go with the look of the space.

Some ideas for you to choose from:

Lighting for your kitchen can be categorized into task, ambient, accent and decorative and by using a balance of the different types of lighting you will able to achieve the optimum effect.

Red Ribbon’s Chocolate Heaven Cake

Having a sweet tooth, this cake earns two thumbs up for me! Imagine getting to eat chocolate mousse, brownies WITH chocolate icing – truly a chocolate heaven.

TV in the Kitchen

A friend has been reading up on tv reviews on various tv’s as they plan to have one installed in the kitchen. Among the many televisions she has seen, getting an lcd tv would be the most sound and practical choice as it can be mounted on a free wall in their kitchen and it would not occupy that much space.

Going with the Trends

Did you know that the United States Gold Bureau has its own Facebook page? I have learned several government agencies and businesses are doing the same thing, given that Facebook has more views than Google already and millions of people are logged in all the time.

It is a good way to keep people informed of their options and let them know that investing on gold and other precious metals would be a good step towards financial security, especially now that the value of the dollar is always changing. The United States Gold Bureau is an authorized dealer for the U.S. Mint and is a leading resource for news and information about the precious metals industry, providing clients with the resources necessary to make informed decisions about their precious metals portfolio. The U.S. Gold Bureau sells gold, platinum and silver in bullion form (coins and bars) as well as rare and certified coins. The U.S. Gold Bureau can also provide gold and precious metals that can be included in individual retirement accounts (IRAs).

Tender Bob’s

It was our first time to eat at Tender Bob’s and I found out there prices were actually pretty cheap and reasonable, given they have such huge servings.

It is similar to Friday’s, Chilli’s or any other American restaurants offering, what else, American food. Their promotional products even bear the American colors – blue, red and white (with stars even).

We ordered meat as we are great meatlovers. The husband ordered steak while I had porkchops.

 

 

The steak – medium rare. The gravy sauce was delicious!

New York Yankees

My favorite team is the New York Yankees. I love to sit and watch them play on my Direct TV satellite television whenever possible. One of the best baseball players in all of history played for the Yankees. This is the famous Babe Ruth. He created history while playing for this team. This man had 2,213 career RBI’s.

Currently my favorite players include Jeter, Vazquez, and Rodriguez. Jeter has been with the team since 1995. I love to watch him play! In my opinion Vazquez is one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. He has played for several teams and just joined The Yankees in 2010.Rodriguez is the best third baseman in the league. I just simply love this team!

They have had several mascots in the history of the team including the most famous, a pinstriped bird named Dandy. They currently do not have a mascot. Fans like me are patiently waiting to see what the next mascot will be.

The manager of The Yankees is Joe Girardi. There are several coaches for all parts of the team. Batting is coached by Kevin Long. The pitching coach is David Eiland. All of the coaches are great and it takes every one of them to make up the greatest team in history. So try it sometime, kick back, relax, and enjoy the best team in history!!!

A Wise Investment

If you are looking for a new way to invest without having too much risks (who needs it right now?), you might want to consider investing in gold, silver and precious metals. Investing in precious metals has been a long-established tradition to acquire wealth. It has also been used to gauge one’s wealth. Owning gold coins is a great asset – it is very liquid. It has never been known to depreciate in value, and has lots of market sellers just waiting for stock too. So if you decide, purchase your gold bullion with the US Gold Bureau.

United States Gold Bureau is home to a large and dedicated staff of hard asset professionals committed to serving your precious metals investment needs and being America’s best dealer with a convenient market and competitive precious metals prices.
