Graduation Gift Ideas

Graduation rites have come and gone and I am sure there are a lot of happy people there with regards to the rewards they have gotten after these rites

My daughter for one got some cash and a gift cheque which she used to buy two pairs of shoes which she has been eyeing for some time

I am sure there are new toys, sports gifts, clothes and with the summer heat just beating us, tickets for travels to the beaches to chill out and escape the summer heat for a while, so many wonderful choices to choose from! 🙂

French Toast

I know this is a Lasang Pinoy Sundays meme and my title is French Toast 😉 The LaPiS theme for this week is MELTed bliss

This is one of the children’s favorite breakfast and snack fare: French Toast

Nothing fancy, I just mixed sweet milk (condensed) with egg, put a dash of cinnamon powder for the dip (is it called dip?)

Then I put sliced cheese on the lower half of a bread from a loaf, folded it and dipped in the egg mixture

I then cooked this with a little melted butter turning over the bread once one side is cooked and the bread is ready to be served 🙂 The melted cheese inside is just plain bliss 🙂

The kids have this with cold chocolate milk or just plain milk, yummy!

Stripes or Creases?

For this week’s STRIPES theme in Photo Hunt, I have this entry below and another entry about a flower with stripes.

I saw a photo in my archive that looks odd to me. This photo of the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta was taken last year:

I see lots of stripes though there are not many stripes as stripey as they come. Are the ones I am seeing stripes or creases? 😀 What do you think?

Do you see the “stripes” too?

Wooden Pecking Hens

HANDS is the theme for this week’s Photo Hunt and here I wrote here that we have a hand in educating our two younger children.

I thought about featuring this photo of my youngest daughter’s hand holding a wooden toy with five pecking hens which looks like a handmade toy.

I thought the concept of this toy is originally Philippine-related but when I Googled the term, I found out the toy is of Scandinavian origin!

Surprise, surprise!

Below is the toy in a close-up photo:
