Pusheen as a Lady Bug?

You are what you eat... (I am  Pusheen!)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #7: I am a cat (Person) -meow


FULL RECIPE HERE: meow


I want to try something new today and lay off the sweets.
I actually like to draw something on a pizza and I thought, is that even possible?
So, I looked up online and stumbled over Domenico Crolla and his stunning pizza portraits.  I'm like "are you sure?" but there's no stopping me, let's do something simple like my favorite character in the world, Pusheen!



I made a deep dish pizza before with my 2 year old nephew (that was yum!)  



I gotta admit I lacked plans and practice with this Pusheen portrait thingy
but I'm really hyped on making another one next time. Enjoy!

Drawing 101 - am·a·teur 


If you're wondering what I did to outline Pusheen, it's actually a white cheese spread that I colored brown. :D You can explore on your options. 


My apologies for not achieving that golden crust, you're the boss of your own pizza portrait, just let it stay in the oven a few more minutes till you achieve desired crust.

"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work.

DotA 2 Themed Doughnuts

You are what you eat... (I am a HUMBLE DONUT or better yet; a DOTA 2 GLAZED DONUT!)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #6: I AM A GAMER :)

If you’ve been tuning in to my YouTube Channel, then you’ve already noticed.

I'm sure you'd rather be a doughnut to feed those heroes giving them something to nom on rather than feeding them with your own player (like what I usually do; cos I'm such a noob :/) The first option is a win win if you ask me. :))

Been playing DotA since it came out then I switched to League but recently I've been playing a lot of DotA 2 so every time that loading screen comes up (obviously I didn't buy any fancy loading screens yet; Ha!) I think of a sweet treat so...

I'm feeling more gamey lately so I came up with this: 
If you're on for a simple route, sure! Check out my Filipino Donuts.


Make your own: I'm all about easy and delicious. Yes!
No Mixer and No Oven Needed.

They are already good on its own and today I dipped them in some marshmallow glaze. 


You can also fill them because these are hole less donuts, I wouldn't want to waste that dough but donut holes are good too. If you're a donut bites kind of person. :)




The donut itself is not that sweet and so is the glaze. If you want it on the sweeter side, add some powdered sugar in your marshmallow mixture while on the stove.



Aaaaah! Fresh Doughnut <3

You are what you eat... (I am a Choco Mucho Angel "slash that" Monster Cake)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #5: I Love Dark Chocolates! “Who doesn’t?” mehe :/


Did you know that Choco Mucho (a product of the famous; REBISCO) has different varieties now?

YES! Just take a look at these Choco Mucho POP Bites (it comes with a dark chocolate flavor) 


I know I got my hand on Choco Mucho from its first ever Milk Chocolate bar with delicious wafers and caramel and stuff, then they released different flavors and Dark Chocolate – is a personal favorite of mine. What’s yours?
From a humble chocolate bar, to mini chocolate balls now to top it off, I guess just like (Jack ‘n Jill’s) Cream-O, it released its new product which is the Choco Mucho Cookie Sandwich with thick chocolate filling; and they’re not kidding when they say thick they mean thick. From you first bite bursts its chocolatey flavor. I sure hope they release something dark chocolate soon.




Won’t you agree with me that we are Choco Mucho too? We may come in different shapes and sizes, go around with different colors and personalities but we are still one by heart. <3 A Chocolate Heart. Hihi

click me > CHOCO MUCHO Monster Cake <




Inspired by the new Choco Mucho Milk Chocolate Biscuit out on the market with thick chocolate filling and the moment I bit in to that I told myself: I really have to make a cake out of this.

This video is not SPONSORED or anything (or I hope it is, Ha!) and it is nowhere near advertising, I guess you can call it a review. sort of. *laf

Make your own: (I promise it is VERY EASY TO MAKE with SIMPLE INGREDIENTS)
NO Oven Required or any Electrical Tools; Just a Rice Cooker :)

You are what you eat... (I am a chocolate chipped cookie)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #4: I never used a rolling pin.

Did you know that chocolate chipped cookies were created by accident?

"or so that's what I heard."

   It's supposed to be a take on a chocolate cookie but the baker mixed in the choco chips in the anticipation that they will melt in the oven but they didn't.

  Simple chocolate chip cookies aren't complex.

" Take that from someone who's never used a rolling pin!!"



:D

Well for one, they don't need any rolling anyway or chilling or waiting unless they're already in the oven. meh :/

Achieving  the perfect cookie requires:

1) Room Temperature Ingredients

2) not over beating the butter "if it's already well incorporated with the sugar... STOP!"

3) Scoop the dough in equal sized to bake even

Now, with all the power vested in me I will transform thy reader into a cookie! haha

shoo go ahead. make , eat and be a chocolate chipped cookie.

Like what I always say,

"You can always take out the chocolate from the cookie but you can never take the cookie out of the chocolate."

Say what?!

You are what you eat... (I am a deep dish Pizza)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #3: I am not the person inside my head.
People perceive me as someone I'm not

"or... I perceive myself as someone else!"

   First week of classes is almost up for the second semester of 2014; it's as if I still care since I'm no longer a student but what the heck.

"Secretly, I wish I still was."

   What's next for me? I'm taking a journey to the unknown.

   Early this morning I found myself sitting on a bus thriving it's way to the province. Hey. boredom got the best of me and decided to linger sight on the other passengers. Mid way, the doors opened for a student bringing this huge knapsack, fare on one hand and a packet of biscuit in the other. She must've been out of herself when she decided to hand over her biscuit to the conductor thinking she had given him her fare.

" *Me preventing myself to burst out a huge laughter..."

  2 minutes passed until they both realized what happened.

   Half an hour until I get to my destination and the conductor asked me for my ticket.
He had charged me a student's fare and boy I love the discount. Apparently, he still perceives me as a student.

"And I thought I did a great job with my make up!"

This situation has brought me unto making this huge delight.


I am a three inch deep dish Filipino Style Pizza. Composed of different layers and all these lovely toppers. Cheese, Tomatoes, Onions, Garlic, Meat, Beef, Milk, and Butter. Maybe perceived to be this typical pizza but bursts with different personalities.

"You just have to find out what." û

You are what you eat... (I am an Almond Joy Pretzel)

FUN FACT ABOUT ME #2: My favorite color is Blue.
I guess that is one way to explain Sage Blue.

   Filipinos are currently celebrating Halloween and All Saints' Day with all these Halloween parties going on, several children in the block with their costumes on and florist displaying all their lovely bouquets of different varieties of flowers.

"It's beautiful!"

   Of course, my family went out to town to pick some lovely flowers and yes it's quite exhausting to choose the best among the rest and not to mention being price wise as we journey to the west side of the park we get ascending prices and as we reach the far east it begins to descend.

West Park (scenario)

  Me: "Miss, how much for these yellow chrysanthemums?"
  Florist: "That would be P 200 a dozen, ma`am."

East Park (scenario)

 Me: "Miss, how much for these yellow chrysanthemums?"
 Florist: "That would be P 120 a dozen, ma`am but I can give it to you for a hundred."

"See what I mean?"

   Anyway, after we had carefully bought our desired flowers we went on to enjoy a treat in one of the new local chilling spots here as some of you may be familiar with their product:


Top Pretzel: Almond Joy, Left: Strawberry Delight, Right: Choco Crunch
I am an Almond Joy: which for me defines a native of Asia, simple,  and I guess the joy speaks for itself. ü



Left to Right: a mix of lychee and green apple, plain chocolate

   These actually remind me of my home-made Cinnamon Pretzels which I mistakenly put in the salt directly with my yeast mixture and oddly ended up with quite a normal pretzel despite of the dough not rising. Nevertheless, lesson learned with that one and that's what I'm here for (to learn) so next time maybe you can extend your expectations a bit as I recreate a new pretzel to add to my Filipina creations.

  "Fingers crossed!"

All Saints' Day (Philippines)


All Saints' Day, also known as All Hallows, Solemnity of All Saints, or Feast of All Saints is a solemnity celebrated on the 1st of November by the Catholic Church and several Protestant denominations. 

"At least that's what the Wiki said."


For my family, we celebrate this occasion traditionally. Before the first of November we go out to town and seek for lovely flowers to be brought in the cemetery offered to our departed loved ones. 




(Images taken from our local park)



"Why?"

Simply because we believe that during this day, those who are no longer among us are as pretty much alive and remembering us as we remember them. Hence,

"The Communion of Saints."


The food we prepare during this day all consist of one main ingredient which is Glutinous Rice: glutinous in the sense of being glue-like or sticky when cooked and not because it contains gluten.


In our home you can find:

"Suman - It is made from glutinous rice cooked in coconut milk and sugar."
"Valenciana - It is a Mediterranean cuisine as cooked in the Valencian Community, Spain. Its basic ingredients are vegetables, seafood, meat and of course glutinous rice."

No matter how you celebrate this day. Extravagant or not. It is always important to keep in mind the true essence of All saints day. And this is me wishing you the best of times in this occasion.


Isaiah 40:31 but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar in wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
