I Got An Award

Yep, you read it right, I got an award! And it felt just like when I found out I was pregnant, you know that feeling of happiness and excitement when you get something that is totally unexpected, just like a surprise birthday party or a an old friend popping out in front of you *grins*, I may suck a little, alright a lot, in analogy but you're getting the drift right?

Anyway, Lee of Earn Money Online graciously passed the award on to me and I am very, very grateful to her, this is my first blogging award, you know *smiles*.


The Rules:
1. Thank and link back the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 great bloggers you know.
4. Contact these bloggers and tell them about the award.

So here goes:

• I am a frustrated baker, hehe, I love learning stuff about baking and making desserts but the oven and me has this hate and hate relationship *lol*.
• I love juice combo, pine-orange (pineapple and orange), orange-mango, etc. I don't know why, but I do love those drinks.
• I am a Royal Tru Orange loyalist!
• I love Pinipig Crunch.
• I suck as a socially active person, so I am a loner, homebody and a couch potato rolled into one.
• I love reading, I can live without any material things as long as I have my steady supply of literary materials.
• I love food, my two food blogs can attest to that :)

I've seen a lot of blogs that I visited with this award already so I will hold on to this award until I find other bloggers who can have it... yeah, yeah, I'm just basking in the glory *lol*.

Crispy Crablets

My first time cooking Crispy Crablets, it doesn't came out as pretty as I want it to be, but I don't have the heart to label it as a failed attempt *pout*, in all honesty, it didn't taste as bad as it looks *lol*. Just do better than me and let this poor baby be, okay?



Ingredients:

• crablets (pehe)
• egg, beaten
• flour
• salt
• pepper
• cooking oil

Procedures:

• Clean the little crabbies and take the top shell off. You can opt not to, I just did, hehe.
• Season with salt and pepper and let it seat while you prepare the egg and breadings.
  
• The coat or breading is a mixture of flour, a little iodized salt and a little pepper mixed together.
  
• Dip each crablets in the egg and and roll on the flour, be sure to coat each one evenly.
• Deep fry until golden brown.
• Serve with vinegar and chili dip.
• Perfect as an appetizer or pulutan, it can even be eaten with rice.
  
  
  Happy Sunday everyone!
  
  
  

Fresh Pick: Green Mangoes

After the Christmas season and the chilly wind and cold weather that it brings, the next most-awaited season for Pinoys is the summer. I am not a beach bum, though I love the water and the scenery, my incapability to swim and my not-so-beach-worthy physique kind of hinders me from being one, hehe. But as a foodie, one of the best perks summer could offer for me, is the availability of those summer fruits. My father-in-law bought a few parcels of land in Bulacan a couple of years back, the land came with a number of fruit-bearing trees, and other plants, and we're already reaping (literally, hahaha) the benefits of it all.

Photo below is that of the apple-mango tree in the backyard, adjacent to the dirty kitchen, I wasn't able to take pics of the other trees as the sun was blazing above me and I'm kinda not your regular happy sunny camper, I am more of a happy shady couch potato kind of person *grins*.

I'll do it next time...
