Egg Noodles in Sweet & Spicy Tomato Sauce


I was getting hungry this morning because I only ate a cup of champorado for breakfast.  I’m not exactly a fan of chocolate-flavored rice, and that meager portion would normally burn in my voracious stomach within minutes.  I was talking to Glen and he suggested spaghetti… But who said you have to adhere to a recipe to get satisfied.  As Chef Michael Smith at Food Network would say: “My recipe?  Cooking, without a recipe!”  So I came up with a simple, yet satisfying dish to help satisfy my craving, but fast enough to give instant gratification.  So, this “recipe” will be good for one person who has such an appetite as I do, but it can be good enough for 2.

Beat the Summer Heat with A Caffeine Fix


Today, the heat is just unbearable.  We have a big (as in BIG) container of coffee that is just sitting there, begging to be mixed.  The problem with that coffee is that it tastes better when made hot, according to my husband.

Message To My Friends

You are about to take the next step towards professional development: Nursing Licensure Examination.  I know a lot of you are now having several types of anxiety manifestations.

The Worse Travel Yet

I opted to be left behind in Pasig when my husband and my little Mayumi left for Bago Bantay.  I had to take care of my grandmother who's suffering from Alzheimer's so I had no choice.  I first gave my grandmother her dinner and had her lie down before I left to follow my family.  It was a relief that the travel time from our place to Robinson's Galleria was easily completed.  I was lucky enough to get a ride on a bus immediately but I had to
