Every Saturday participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is FURRY.
Okra buds, my other entry is here.
I am featuring our (almost new) dog, Chichi, an American Pit Bull Terrier who came to our home three months ago. He is our only APBT now because Sparky (who is probably in heaven) died last month.
She is not really furry compared to toy dogs and other herding dogs because she is a short-haired breed. We prefer to have this kind than the long-haired ones that need grooming (these can be expensive) and shed unwanted hairs that can cause asthma.
Contrary to what others believe, pit bulls are friendly (except when they are together with other dogs and/or smaller animals and other APBT) and very playful.

Snacking turned differently when I re-learned how to bake stuff. We have not been buying the usual biscuits and cookies because the children (and hubby and I as well) have been eating home-baked goodies.
I baked every other day since a 9×9 baking pan of brownies or several batches of mini-loaves and muffins are gone before 48 hours.
Last Monday we had these in our lunchbox for our snacks:

Eye-candy is the theme for Lasang Pinoy Sundays which became Lasang Pinoy Tuesday for me due to phone line problems. Hello PLDT, it has been 5 days already!
Anyway, during the past few weeks of the Christmas season, the influx of eye-candy food is varied and oh-so-tempting that anyone with sweet tooth would not resist getting a bite, or two, or maybe even more than that.
A dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts, colourful, sweet, flavourful and yes, tempting. It may not be a Filipino sweet treat but it captured the Filipino palate
Who would care for a piece of two of that colorful candy sprinkled one or the cookies and cream? What about the snowman over here?
I do!
And now I need to go get some weight loss supplements 😀

Every Saturday, participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is CHIPPED.
Things that chip easily are those made of glass, ceramic and wood. In my other entry, I featured a chipped (old) historical wall.
Below are two photos of a wooden bench. The first one shows a chipped portion on the arm rest. The second one shows how big and how long the wooden bench is.
Chipped arm rest. of course, its wood and it can be chipped easily but then again, if you see how the bench looks like, chipping is not easy to happen.
This is how long and how heavy (I don’t know how heavy exactly but it looks very heavy indeed) the whole bench looks like:
This is one of the many wooden benches in a place called Tiendesitas where Filipino goods can be bought. We love going to this place because the children get to see a lot of pets being groomed and dressed up. Weekends also mean dog shows 🙂

We got this bottle of Julio & Julia Special Strawberry Cider during a trade fair we went to last year. This was made from the far north up where the mountains are cool and where strawberries are harvested.
The bottle content is almost gone. We need to get a new one soon. I even asked iMom last month to get me a bottle when she and her family had a vacation in the City of Pines but she was not able to find a bottle.
What I like about this is its being sour without tasting like it has been chemically done to do so, it is naturally sour without leaving an aftertaste in the palate. It also smells pleasantly good.
With what do I use this? When I eat green mango salad with fresh tomatoes and onions.
I hope to get a bottle soon but where?

The Fried Cream Dory Fillet is undeniably one of the favorites on the dining table.
So what do I do to prepare these easily? I have a concoction ready-made just for these fillet:
- all purpose flour
- cornstarch
- bread crumbs
- salt
- pepper
- dry basil
I have all these in a jar ready to use whenever the children ask for the Creamy Dory Fillet that is if we still have some left in the freezer. I just need to beat eggs to dip the fillet before I use this.
For that batch above, used additional fresh basil leaves that i cut into very tiny pieces. The smell was wonderful 🙂
Try having this is a seafood restaurant and be prepared to pay for a big bill 😉
