You Are Ginger

Like ginger, you are a total shape shifter. You can be sweet, spicy, mellow, or overpowering. You are both soothing and unique. You are popular... yet you are often overlooked.

What Spice Are You?

mango tango

Two weekends ago, I prepared some mango shake for Lizzie and myself. It was seething hot so I asked the maid to grab some mangoes in the market and brought out my "almost-unused" blender.


Here is the photo to prove it:

Here is the end result:

And here is my daughter enjoying her share of the shake:

Happy Summer!

ESTREL'S: it floats off the table and into your mouth

A few days ago, we have found a piece of heaven in Estrel's Caramel Cakes. Though I'm not really big on sweet cakes, this one, I would say was an exception. This caramael cake, I would later learn is famous for its melt-in-the-mouth feel. To say that it's heavenly is an understatement. They have been around since 1948 but opted to be really low-profile about their business, even with the influx of customers in their homes, the owner never dreamed of going mainstream and selling their 'home-made, precious, mouth watering cakes' to commercial stores or bakeries. Birthday cakes should be ordered a day in advance by calling 372-2965 or 371-79-38, from 8:30am to 7pm daily. The catch here is you have to pick up the cake at 54 Scout Tobias St cor Scout Limbaga, Baranggay Laging Handa , Quezon City. Driving from my place in Cainta to far away kyusi on a saturday when the traffic is usually heavy is no joke. Pure effort pero ang sakit sa bangs, promise! Buti nalang masarap talaga sya. No kidding, masarap talaga sya. Period.

Try it.
