Flowers in Dangwa
It’s rare that I step into this area where flowers are cheap and sold for a tenth of the price they sell in supermarkets. And though it’s not about food, I think that flowers at home, which I have always wanted, is domesticity at its best! Each big bundles costs around P100, a dozen roses … Read more
What are These?!
I spied a bag of what I thought was tea. Upon opening, there were popped rice! I thought that it would be good tea, with crunchy bits. I tried. It tasted like roasted rice, which I guess is good tea, but not for me. So is this really tea? It came in an unlabeled silver … Read more
New Cast Iron Pots
I have become such an enthusiast of the cast iron pan, that I had to buy a bigger version of it! It was unseasoned and there was some effort required to make it work, but totally worth it. Loge Cast Iron pans are already available in Manila but the price for this pan (pictured up) … Read more
