Mine’s the Double Quarter Pounder medium
Feels like a buffet at almost the same price ($40 gets you a lot).
Currently obsessed with Birria Tacos
..you can have pre-cooked sausages, caramelised onions and white bread
Can’t believe we’ve missed watching this when it started. But what’s more astounding is how we cheer on the villains and wish the good guys ill.
I’ve been asking myself (and anyone who still bothers to listen because they’ve heard this before so many times) if I should do 40 hours instead of 37.5. But when you get off at 2pm on Fridays when everyone else is literally dying in their desks at work, and get home to a new bed and a bag of popcorn…well..
Sam and Mary are dieting so for the last couple of months, I’ve been buying, cooking and eating food solo. As it turns out, other people’s dieting has a good effect; I tend to eat less, waste less, not necessarily buy less or cheaply, and only have indulgent meals (like fried chicken) on the weekends.
Have not set foot in a gym for the last 7 years. But I have some abs, my waistline is still 29-30 and I have good arms. But is that enough? Should I be grunting along forever in the garage?
Did you know that the celeriac is the root of the celery? You cook it like you would potatoes but the best thing about it, is that it has fewer carbs than potatoes. Tastes like celery, but nuttier Wikipedia describes it. Hmmm. I don’t like celery that much; I used to hate pansit that had celery bits in it. Kohlrabi on the other hand is actually related to the cabbage. The following way of cooking it appeals to me: For a simple side dish, sauté the sliced kohlrabi in a bit of butter in a skillet. Once it begins to show some caramelization, season it with salt, nutmeg, and a little sugar for increased sweetness. Continue cooking until slightly al dente, with a bit of crispness, and serve it immediately.
Don’t get me wrong; I think I can live without plastic. But if it’s there like in the supermarkets, I will use it and won’t feel guilty about it. But this is it- the government is banning it for good.
So a much older friend advises me, and with Uber rides now starting at $14 for a 6-kilometer minimum, I decided to do public transport. By the time I got back, I had saved myself $56. I felt very virtuous after that.
All the passengers on my bus had gold transport cards and it always gives me flashes of my future- that’s me eventually. And strangely, I’m at peace with it because it’s inevitable. A couple of things could be different; I would be immaculately dressed because that’s non-negotiable for me; I could finally be driving instead of taking the bus (Dear Elon, pls sort out your self-driving cars ASAP).
It seems that as far as the weather is concerned, you will never quite know what you’re gonna get
I go for the full cream, full sugar one…
Well, couldn’t find a brioche bun bigger than this, but three patties it is!
My nephew had his prom/soiree over the weekend and it was light-years away from what we had at the old and dusty Sison Auditorium. I would actually like to travel back in time though to attend one
It’s great to have a recipe that works consistently: basically, you cook the (seasoned) pork in the over at 140 for four hours. After that, you take it out and put it onto a cold frying pan, fleshy side up. Put enough oil to cover the skin and watch it blossom into the perfect crackling you’ve ever seen. No prepping, boiling, foiling or pricking with fucking pins.
European people LOVE it because what is there not to love about fruit, cream and condensed milk?
I finally found the right coconut which is young coconut, but I think I draw the line with adding cheese.
I don’t buy bacon that often because I end up eating all of it myself (all 2kgs of it). But it’s been months, so…nothing beats a breakfast full of fats and some rice. The scrambled eggs used four eggs.
I could’ve read ‘The Luminaries’, it wasn’t that of a big deal, but I just didn’t like, didn’t get the subject matter. But this one- read the 1st 10 pages at the mall while having coffee- sounds promising.
Some call it croons (??). I’ve been meaning to try it after seeing it on all my social feeds, but just couldn't organise myself to go to Newmarket’s Luna Cafe which was the 1st one to offer it. This one is from Z Pattisserie. If it’s supposed to be a croissant, then the texture is wrong- it’s too dense and bready as opposed to being a bit chewy and flaky. I wouldn’t rave about it, but I’m not giving up on it yet until I get to taste Luna’s.
But I did this in the air fryer so…
Not going to cook my burgers in any other way
This is at Gilmour’s which has none of the ‘excitement’ of Costco, but has a lot of what you actually need (do I need another 3kg bag of peanut-butter filled mini pretzels???). We’re having a party for some friends in the coming weekend and we’re pleasantly surprised at our final Gilmour’s bill; not as horrendous as we thought because we spent the better part of an hour comparing prices with what’s available at the normal supermarkets.
We were wanting some comforting Vietnamese soups but the rain made parking a challenge so we ended up at Uncle Man at Southpoint which had sheltered underground parking. At $68 for four dishes includiing two generous entrees (the chicken skin!!!!), you certainly felt that inflation was just a bad dream you had the other night.
