Egg Story 2
Double Yolk Eggs
I found this odd eggs at the supermarket for 45php (half dozen). When hubz cooked it, I was a bit hesitant to eat it, was thinking that the oddity will somehow affect it's natural taste as like the Vitamin Enriched eggs we bought a month ago.
But when I tasted it, it wasn't bad after all, it tastes the same. I was thinking of buying this kind when making leche flan :) You might asked..how did the double yolker happens, You can grab the asnwer here. So would you want to try them :) P.S not a paid ad:)
Magic at All
I would rather have had one breath of her hair, one kiss from her mouth, one touch of her hand, than eternity without it.
A cheesy line from the movie city of Angels.

Under my Umbrella
Manila did not experience a good sunny day because of the typhoon Karen, So I wanted to take the day off which I usually do when there's heavy downfall but knowing that my ten year old niece went to school this morning made me drown in shame...hahaha
So even though the rain was hard, I armed myself with a trusty umbrella & jacket and off I go to work. As I was convincing myself that It would be a smoother way to the office, I was wrong...it was also hard to hail a cab or any form of public transpo (note: I do not know how to drive) I brave myself in that horrid rain. It took me 30-45 minutes to get finally a public transpo. After the traffic due to flooded streets and people stranded all over the place, I arrived work after an hour and a half (note:the usual time of travel-30 minutes) Hurray!!!
With all the rain, flood, and many people blocking my way to get a cab, I thought that my tummy was complaining due to starvation, hahaha. Good thing I brought the apple crumble, delivered yesterday from Dominos Pizza.
It's my sweet reward for myself. So...have you experience this too?

Weekend Rambling
Hahaha...I did a lot of tags today. Those were overdue tags that I promised to do. I have few more left. I'll be doing them these coming days. So watch out for it :)
Now, let me update you a bit about my colorful life (as if). Aside from the glorious long weekend that many of us will enjoy, I am excited to bake more yummy goodies. Hubz bought an oven. He knew I've longing to have this. Though we have a microwave with bake function, I much prefer a bigger oven. This means, more more cupcakes and cheesecakes recipe to post. :)
While half my heart rejoices...half of it was not. My BFF at work bid her goodbye yesterday. I've cried bucket when I heard the news the other week. But I need to be mature to face this situation. Thinking of the great opportunity awaits her made me realize that I am not losing her. She will always be there. So last night, the team had a little drinking session party, hahaha. Just have a few shots of tequila, singing once in a while and some good laughs made us all happy. The husband and I left much earlier because he was sleepy na and on our way home, I sent a text message to her saying
It's not goodbye yet, it's see you later...
As I pressed the send button, tears just rolled over. My heart cried in sadness, in silence. After working with her for 5 years, I will surely miss her. So while she is her at Pinas, visiting her will lessen the missing her part
Okay...enough of my doldrums...Lets all enjoy the weekend :) See yah later!

Hot Shoes!
I badly need to look for good work-out shoes. My last pair bid its goodbye the other day. So I was not able to go the gym this afternoon. Bummer! Went to the mall to look for quality but of a fair price but I was not that lucky to find any. It is so expensive.
So I did some canvassing online, hoping that I could find any great pair. Now a day, it is easier to shop online. So I surf the net for good finds. Upon surfing, I found a good site for my shoe shopping, the SHOEBACCA. Their shoe store online is quite easy to navigate and very customer friendly. They also have a wide variety of brand, style that caters everything you could ask for.
One more thing good about their site, is that the shoes they have are of good quality and the prices are so affordable. Shoebacca bridge the gap between classy and inexpensive.
Oh dear,this is fun, browsing their site, I found many cheap shoes. This discounted adidas shoes will surely fit me. Check their site, who knows, you might find for one.

My List:Actually, I am lucky because my mom lives at the next door, so during weekdays, she just clean our mess in the morning. We only have a small house, so it's easier for her to clean stuffs. During weekend, I do the cooking. I love cooking and baking but I hate cleaning my mess, hahaha. I hate cleaning the bathroom so my hubby do that. I love do the laundry if and only if, there's a washing machine. I tried washing clothes, the small one only with my own hands and it so difficult hahaha.
Hmmm...I guess thats about it, the rest of the housechores are the one I really love doing. :)

Love for cooking
I came from a family who loves to cook. My mom owned a small food business before, and my uncle worked as a cook. As I grew up, I fell in love with cooking. Now that I am married, I wanted to have a bigger kitchen filled with the finest cooking tools and utilities. I searched the web and found this amazing site that offers everything I need for cooking. They have a wide array of cookwares and kitchen gadgets to name some of the products they have.
They also have great items for dining. I remember when we celebrated my grandma’s 82nd birthday, relatives not only appreciated our cooking but also the flatwares we have. I saw one nice flatware online that will definitely add pizzaz in our next party. I wanted to have that 45-piece flatware set asap. Guess got to include this in my Christmas wishtlist Have a great weekend to all!

The Egg Story
How would you like your eggs?
I love mine scrambled with milk. Adding liquid to the eggs makes it less likely to turn out tough or rubbery. So every weekend, scrambled eggs is a must for breakfast. What if your eggs are like this:
organic eggs
We went home with half dozen of Vitamin E Enriched and half dozen Selenium Enriched eggs. Bought them a bit pricey than the conventional produced eggs. The seller, gave leaflets about the health benefits of eating this kind. So maybe thats the reason why this eggs are a bit pricey :)
Anyway, one Saturday morning, I used 3 organic eggs for breakfast and noticed that the yolks are golden and pretty. The seller was right. But when it was cook, it has an odd taste that I didn't like at all. Guess, I'm not used with it's taste. So hubz just finish the whole serving. From there, I concluded (base on own opinion), the eggs won't be good for scramble purposes. Husband then suggested boiled eggs instead.
Few days from that I tried the boiling and yeah he was right,the odd taste was not that obvious, so that fine Sunday morning, he alone had organic boiled eggs for breakfast. :)
Hence, it's really hard to be a health buff...sigh!
Sidenotes: I tried organic pasta and sunflower mayo, it taste different and it's pricey too. It took me days to finish the cooked pasta and months before I emptied the mayo bottle.
Have you tried organic food. What's the experience, did you like it?
Have a healthy Friday!

Coffee Anyone
I am a coffee lover. Having coffee gives me the relaxation I need while I sit and read my favorite book. The only thing I hate, is brewing extra cups that I cannot consume in one sitting. In the end, the extra coffee goes to waste. You see, making a single cup is not that easy, the ideal measure of the coffee grind depends on its variety. So based on my experience when brewing, I always end up having an extra cup in my pot and a messy kitchen.
Good thing my friend from the US went home with this marvelous Keurig K-Cup coffee. Keurig K-cup coffee allows us to brew a single cup of coffee with the ideal measure of grind coffee of the variety that we choose. Keurig K-Cup coffee is distributed online by AlpineValleyCoffee . Alpine offer a great deal on K-cups on all its major brands such as Timothy’s Coffee, Emeril’s Coffee and Gloria Jeans and others. They also have great discounts to those who will buy 8 or more 22 count packs or more. It made me drool. On my friend's next visit, I’ll ask her to bring home more for me.
If you’re a coffee lover like me, go check their site, who knows you might want to order online.

Alzheimer’s Memory Walk
One commonly known disease experience by people over 65 is Alzheimer's. It is also the 6th leading cause of death in the US. One commonly recognized symptom is the impaired memory and thinking which to some, believed that it is normal to those who are under stress. As the disease progress more and more symptoms shows which makes it hard for the person to work or take part in day-to-day life.
Alzheimer's treatment and Alzheimer's care go hand in hand. There's no cure yet. But there are things that can be done to slow the progression of the disease. A team joined hand in hand to support the millions of people who are affected with this disease. Alzheimer's Memory Walk is one of the largest Movements for a cause to raise the awareness and funds for Alzheimer support. The Move needs volunteers and it would surely be of help if you’ll be one of those volunteers. So if you’re from the US, join the team and be fulfilled in helping.
It would really make a big difference, together we could make that difference. Let's walk now.
