Shoutout

What we have is no longer love...

It's our dreams weaved together,

It's our hopes shared,

It's our minds united,

It's our journey in one path,

It's our time in a single hour glass.

What we have is each other.

You're the only one this heart beats for.

This is for you Dhe, a love thought before your special day.

Going up

My husband and I were watching the news late last night. How sad to know that minimum fare may increase up to P12.00. Everyday, it gets harder and harder to survive. A good meal nowadays would cost a leg, how much more if you add up the other cost of living.

If we think about it, 10 years ago people have been complaining of the same thing. And yet here we are, still complaining. Will life ever get better? It's now a matter of believing that it will.

I'm glad I'm not a pessimist.

What's cooking?

One of the things that I love to do is to eat. And it is because of it that I have been drawn to cooking. When I was still single, I barely cook because my mom does all the cooking at home. Now that I am already a wife and a mom, I am already the queen of the kitchen.

To be able to best achieve the taste and quality of food that I want, I have to be picky in the things that I use for cooking. All the ingredients have to be fresh and my cooking utensils have to be really good.

One challenge that I have encountered is how to make the meat really tender. During beef stew nights, I would always worry if the meat is already good enough to eat. It was then that I realized the value of my mom's crock pots. Before I really thought that crock pots were just an addition to my pile of dishes not to mention a waste of time and money. It is only now that I really understood its worth in the kitchen.

Although I currently have a crock pot at home, I would love to have this particular cooker whichI found in the internet:

It was definitely love at first sight. Not even mentioning its versatility, it would really be great to have this work-of-art in my kitchen. Hmmm...maybe I'll put it in this year's birthday wishlist.
