Bottomless iced tea. Our children love to drink this beverage, bottomless or not.

One of the more popular “resto-rant” would be about iced tea not getting filled fast enough especially when there are a lot of customers.
We have encountered those too but more often, we don’t. So what’s the secret?
Sit near where the pitchers are kept ๐
One more thing, we ask if it is ok for two young children to share the bottomless iced tea. They usually say yes.ย If only they know these two children drink more than I can drink, so “shhhhh…” ๐

My husband is a piano player, having had formal lessons when he was younger. I did have formal lessons but the skills weren’t fully developed maybe because we didn’t have a piano where I can practice or maybe because I do not have the necessary talent and skills that go with it. I rest my case ๐
Anyway, our two children are quite good with the scales even if they haven’t had formal training. We do have several piano sheet music for them though they do not use it when they play. The play the piano mostly by ear.
Below is my youngest daughter practicing the scales:

Yes, she can play some tunes but can not read notes yet ๐ maybe this year since she will be in first grade already.

Last March, my children and I got an invitation to go to the launching of Krispy Kreme Chocolate Glazed Doughnuts along with blogger friends and media personalities. We had fun being with friends. Our children had fun too playing the games in the venue.

This is a good way to advertisement for a new product, don’t you think so? I had to blur my children’s faces because I don’t want them posted in this blog. Hope you understand.
here is a more detailed post about the event.

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!

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.
