Non-powdered Spiced Tea


Obviously, I couldn't get a good picture of this thing. A little girl kept on trying to snatch the glass. That's spiced tea, btw. It's my variation of the usual spiced tea mix. We don't have powdered drinks here (except for Husband's ever present Nestea), so I didn't have the Tang or the powdered lemonade. What I did basically was just to brew lemon tea. I then added natural orange juice, muscovado sugar (sorry, I didn't measure - just kept on adding until just right), ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Since my allergies were acting up yesterday, I heated a mug up so I could drink mine hot. And no, I didn't give Marguerite tea. She was able to sneak in a sip and seemed to like it, but I gave her plain orange juice and she accepted the trade without any fuss.

Flaming Red Applesauce





It's been a long time since I last made applesauce. This is not how I usually make it, but I was inspired by Supermommy's post. I had the red hots, the apples, and the water, so why not go for it? It smells wonderful. It's also great with dessert.

Tuna a la King



Tuna a la king. It's a modification of a recipe I found online. I used frozen mixed veggies instead of just peas, and I also added a cup of chicken stock and some grated cheese. Last night, we topped it on rice and today, we put them on buttered toast.

Experience with Kesong Puti



Hi, all! Look who's going to post an entry after months of absence! Anyway, still haven't concocted anything worth blogging about, but we did go to Laguna recently and went home with three bundles of kesong puti. We drove through at Jollibee (Pakil or thereabouts) and there was a young boy right beside the window selling them. We bought 3 bundles and waited a week before eating the things. They already smell spoiled, as a rule, and they supposedly do spoil easily, but to wait a week before consuming them was just plain, uh, adventurous. If you must know, we didn't suffer any ill effects. The spoiled smell wouldn't matter if you're a fan of stinky cheese, like I am (believe me, I've come across worse smelling cheese). Anyway, fried up the things and put them in between buttered slices of bread. They were good. But. That big bundle holding these puny blobs of cheese! The fridge was unnecessarily overcrowded.
