Dairy Queen’s Waffle Treat
I’ve said it before — I’m not big on ice cream. I find it boring. UNLESS… Look at it this way. Ice cream, by itself, means one flavor and one texture. But… add some nuts, syrup, fudge, crushed fruit and whipped cream and, suddenly, the old boring ice cream becomes utterly exciting. So, there I was was thinking of getting a single scoop of ice cream in a cone until I saw the latest item in Dairy Queen’s menu — the Waffle Treat.

Mixed herbs, pork steaks and oven-fried potato chips
Sunday is daddy-in-the-kitchen day. Otherwise, we eat out. Not last night though. My hubby cooked pork steaks and I made a side dish of oven-fried potato chips.
Both the potato chips and the pork steaks were seasoned with mixed dried herbs that I discovered at the supermarket a couple of weeks ago.

About popcorn and popcorn cookers
For the longest time, I’ve been meaning to compose an entry pitting brands of cooked popcorn side by side. The problem is that popcorn never lasts long enough in the house to allow me to take photos.

Vinaigrette as a dipping sauce
Sometime between Christmas and New Year, my husband and I went to the SM Megamall Trade Hall where there was Christmas gift bazaar. There was a food stall selling tocino, tapa, longganisa and hotdogs. There were cooked samples and after trying the tocino and hotdogs, we were impressed enough to buy a couple of kilos. [...]

Bangus sisig and daing na galunggong
It was during my birthday dinner last year when I first experienced bangus (milkfish) sisig. Sisig is, of course, traditionally a pork dish made with grilled and chopped pork ears and face and served sizzling on a hot plate. So, you can just imagine my delight when three kinds of sisig were served, one of [...]
