Inside these multicolored plastic pots are seeds planted in a mixture of non soil mix and used coffee grounds. These are being sprayed with water on a daily basis.
It smells like a cafe in this area and why not, these used coffee grounds can be had FOR FREE from Starbucks.
You can ask for a bag or two from a branch near you when you have time to grab a cup.

This is Chi-chi, our American Pit Bull Terrier.
Chichi (who I already featured in a PH entry here) is sweet with the kids and is very playful. Yes, she is cuddly but we seldom cuddle her because she is big, heavy, and muscled.
When she steps on your toes with her big paws or stands up and the nails scratched your arm, you will definitely say “Awww!”
Pit Bulls are probably one of the misunderstood breeds among dogs.
Oops, my short post just got long. I am a bit busy these days and had only a little time to write a post.
Now back to looking for pre-employment screening for a friend who is putting up a new biz.

I have written here that we love to go to Power Books TriNoma.
While the children are reading in the children’s section, I go over to an adjacent section and look at the recipe books while my eldest daughter browses shelves filled with books she is interested to read.
One time, I overhead a group of teenagers whispering and giggling about looking for books about skin care. One mentioned something that sounded unfamiliar. I searched for it when we got home and found out the name: accutane. Definitely sounds new to me.
Anyway, I would want to get a copy of a certain recipe book when we get back. I’m sure my eldest daughter would again ask me to get that other vampire book for her (rolls eyes).

The Thunbergia plant has broken into the third floor windows! Oh no! In this entry, the sun’s rays has “broken” the clouds.
Good thing no one stays here anymore. And yes, this has been pulled down and cut.
That is a water tank out there so you can imagine how the vine took over everything, yes it can grow wild when untended 😀

I have featured the dish (below) here as it was done in a cooking class I was invited to go to.
Last Wednesday night, we had it for dinner with a few minor changes according to what I have at home.
I plan to cook more using olive oil even if it is a bit of a strain in the pocket but if the benefits are good for the family’s health, why not?
I usually use soybean oil for cooking and I still do especially in frying (fish) which requires more oil.
