To Juice Or Not.

admin — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 03:01:11 +0000

I have been contemplating on getting a new juicer. We have been juicing carrots and apples before and I thought of going back to the habit. I am just concerned though that the carrots available in the market aren’t organic. And they can be very pricey, too. I learned that carrots and apples, both have too much chemicals and pesticides thus they aren’t actually good for the body. So for now, I decided to just blend pineapples and maybe melons, then add local veggies (I heard that sili, malunggay and saluyot leaves are good for cleansing.) when available. Or when I am too lazy, maybe we can just gulp down some coconut juice. Reading about it, I came across these benefits of drinking coconut juice.

…coconut water does not only possess anti-aging properties but fight cancer, helps balance blood sugar, reduces risk of heart disease, aids in kidney functions and dissolves kidney stones and wards off other diseases as well as it enhances our immunity system.

The bottle is too big, I don’t think I can take any more of this dressing.

My Pumpkins.

These are my three little pumpkins. They’re my only decoration for Halloween. Better than nothing.

A Bigger Fridge.

That’s another item on my wish list. I wanted a bigger fridge as I want bigger space for my veggies as well as bigger freezer space. And bigger storage means lesser trips to the grocery. The only thing I am worried about is the cleaning up. It’s going to be harder tidying out a bigger ref. But I think that has to wait. Our current ref is still in perfect condition and we can’t bear to part with it as it was given to us by my in-laws.

Blast From The Past.

I have uploaded a new set of old photos in my Flickr account. Thanks to DH for scanning them for me. I will never have the energy to scan that much photos. But I do have one big box of old pictures that I want scanned though. I don’t know when I’ll be able to that.

Anyway, here are some of my photos way back from college.

Harrison Plaza. Our fave mall back then, just because it’s the nearest mall to our school.

From World Youth Day.

In school.

Friends.

Not food related, but since I just posted these on FB, might as well share them here, too. A few photos with friends from college.

Almost complete, missing I guess 2 friends, beside our school’s chapel.

In school, by the stairs of CET building, if I am not mistaken.

After class.

Graduation ball, in a hotel somewhere in Manila.

A New Oven.

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 14:14:09 +0000

I badly want one. We eat fish frequently and most of the time, they’re fried. I figured that having an oven will provide me with variety of ways, and healthier at that, to cook food. And I am so excited to try baking, too. I am a fan of pastries but lately I am trying to avoid them. With an oven, I can make my own pastries and use healthier and better ingredients. I know I will have an oven soon so I am collecting recipes I want to try. Better look into maxoderm first then I am off to look for more recipes.
