My Spaghetti Craving was Finally Granted!

Call me shallow but can you blame me if i have been craving for a bowl of pasta oozing with that red tomato sauce and hefty amount of cheese?

Sunday came and then after doing my mound full of dirty clothes i asked Z to buy me tomato sauce for my spag...he was hesitant at first because its raining and he is thinking of something else to eat..sigh!

But i cannot be ignored coz i have been ignoring this emptiness of pasta deprivation..nakks!

After less than 30 minutes all fo my kids including me is attacking the table with much gusto! I have never been so happy...now you can call me shallow...oh how i wish i had taken picture of my three kids with the sauce all over their faces...but i got busy myself.hehehehe!

My struggle with WEIGHT

Now i am close to 60kls...sigh...how did i get this big?Then thinking of the foods that i ate, the alcohols that i drank, the midnight cravings, the snacks in the afternoon, the laziness to do the chores around the house, the hours of sitting down facing Facebook, the lack of walking exercises...then no wonder i get to be this big.

I have to admit that every time someone tells me how big i am, i am a step lower with my self-esteem, people please do try to be sensitive about other people's feeling here...its not that i am blind and that i could not see my fats, but will just shut up if you got nothing good to say?

As a result, my internet time is cut down because i have to have an active lifestyle right?and then again we have to save power consumption because its already sooo expensive here in Phils.

Every day i clean our room, i scrub(lampaso) for more than an hour with the music background and while scrubbing i also do dance moves..how convenient right? I am now in my second week and i plan to work harder, i also take a slimming pill and i am watching everything that i eat.

So for now, no pictures yet but mind you next time you will see me i will be asking for you compliments ok?

The Chef In Me: My love affair with food and cooking

I belong to a large family who everybody knows how to cook starting from my grandparents, to my uncles, my aunts and even my cousins...in our house i was the only one who does not know how to cook and everybody knows that....even my father is disappointed in me for not trying.


Now, as i have a family of my own and think about the pressure of producing three meals a day for five persons...so i have no choice but to learn it from the scratch. I must admit that i am not such a great cook but this lady is trying hard and the mere fact that i love to eat...i start to watch my mother, i copy her style of cooking even to the way how she prepares the ingredients and her seasonings...because that is what i am used to...i also watch lots of cooking shows in TV..name it: Top Chef, Master Chef, Iron Chef of America, Junior Master Chef, Hell's Kitchen, The Next IRon Chef, Bobby Flay's shows, Giada De Laurentis, Rachel Ray, Martha's Kitchen, Barefoot Contessa, Emeril's, i am sorry if i missed anyone..hehehehe.


Going back to my side of cooking, firstly i do not have my own kitchen and i am not the lady of the house..it is still my mother you know...so my self confidence is not that high...but then again my husband loves my cooking and that is enough for me, we both love to prepare seafoods, chicken, pork and vegetables.


Personally i want to study culinary arts or just cooking because i want to improve my skills and but as of now i could not afford it with the lack of time and money so then again i have to improvise..search the net for recipes and try and cook it and let hubby be the judge.

Thats it for now...i will let you know of my progress!


How i wish i have a kitchen like this
