Crablet in the Clam

I apologize for the uncooked seafood but I could not resist posting this photo of a crablet in the clam. I got a kilo of these halaan for lunch and decided to take photos when I got surprised to see these little creatures. Yep, around half the clams had these crablets inside.

Here are some (soon-to-be) baked mussels and mussels cooked in lemongrass broth which I am sure some of you have already seen.

Have a great week, everyone!

Books in Our Home Library

Everywhere one goes to our home, reading materials can be seen. Magazines in the bathrooms and on the bedside table, cookbooks in the kitchen, children’s story books on the sofa, the paperback I am currently reading on the bed (lol!), countless e-books in the computers and different kinds of books in the library.

Here is one part of our home library. Pardon the clutter, the books keep piling up faster than I can organize these.

I have a thing about collecting an author’s books if I like what I have read. Among my collection are (my almost complete) Mary Higgins-Clark and her daughter Carol, David Baldacci, Michael Crichton, Richard North Patterson, David Kellerman, almost complete Archie McNally series by Lawrence Sanders, Dan Brown, Tom Clancy and Robert Ludlum, among others.

Oh, by the way, I don’t usually buy new books, I get these from bargain book stores. I only buy new books that come in series like the Harry Potter books.

Health Books Wanted

I have written about books in this post.

We do have books about different topics but I have noticed that we do not have a lot of books that has topics about health.

I had to resort to researching what the web has to offer when one time, my father talked about a certain kind of cancer that made his former bosses decide to strip the flooring of their offices many years ago.

It was in fact called Mesothelioma cancer and thanks to the web, we knew what it was called.

The offices had new tiles for the flooring because of the possible effect of the asbestos on the health of the people.

I wish employers are as considerate as what my father had while he was working.

And now I know what is missing in our library, health books.

Weight Talk

Whenever I see food photos, I feel like grabbing these yummy food and have a bite. Or two.

I am constantly telling myself about the need to eat healthier, well, i do but knowing about the many food saboteurs around me  doesn’t really help.

I remember someone who has been taking appetite suppressant as a way to not give in to the temptation of taking too much food.

Personally, I believe that self-discipline is one of the keys to keeping the weight off and with  everything else, change start with the self.
