my JOYs :: my JOURNEY

Always wanting to grow … one of the major things I decided to do was try to keep and start traditions. What better way to do this … with food. I felt ashamed that I relied on others (aka my mom) for simple things like Filipino food.

This year I will make it a point to learn / try and hopefully one day master Filipino cuisine. 

Yema : 122310

I remembered my aunt making Yema. My cousins and I sat around the newly made batch with spoons, in hand, scooping away at the decadent dessert. Most (majority) of recipes call for the use of egg yolks. I asked my aunt and she said no egg yolks are used (hmmm…). We (my sisters and I) decided to use egg yolks anyhow. We even sugar-coated each yema ball.

The sugar coat is optional. We couldn’t resist and tried anyhow. 

My goal is to AT LEAST do one dish a month. I HOPE to be able to keep up with this goal. I hope my family and friends are willing to be my guinea pigs to my new journey. =D

Listening and lesson planning, having small anxiety attacks but with small bursts of excitements (somewhere in between) for the school year …. SLOWLY switching back to high school Biology teacher mode!!

Treated my car to a detail … Looks brand new!!

Feels very violated.

Great company .,. Great laughs … What a Tuesday!!

One Word Veggie with the World of nations of friends … Looooove them!!!

No gloom. Suns out. It’s gonna be a good day!!
