sweet wine and oatmeal munchies

Had a bit of holiday fun last week which included opening a bottle of wine from marks and spencer called "lambrusco rose". A dear someone bought it last year but we haven't had a chance to try it until some days ago. Here it was, properly chilled. It was sweet and semi-sparkling... very yummy, very girly.

We had these nice milk chocolate-topped oatmeal dessert cuppies too. They were soft munchies. Me thinks that they were meant for another time but my sweet wine buddies broke 'em out that night. They're great. Will definitely make it up to them next time.

34C, maynilad, condo water drama

Image
  April 16, 2025 It's that time of the year... Ang iniiiitttt na ng 34 C (feels like 37 C)!!! The heat at 6AM wakes us up. Noon time is somehow bearable because of the black-out blinds, but we have to turn on the A/C at 3PM already or our tech will be affected (esp. the laptop and electric wheelchair!) or worse, we suffer heat stroke.  Maynilad's annual "repairs and maintenance" around Holy Week doesn't help since they provide our condo's water supply. Speaking of which - our condo admin shut off water for many days citing Maynilad repairs from April 6-17 . They announced a water interruption schedule on the 8th (as they should though very late) to allow the community cistern to get full, but they neither followed their stated hours nor gave any more updates or explanations interim - it was awful since the areas around us had steady supply already by the 11th/12th albeit low pressure. Whatever arrangements they made to keep adequate supply were lacking - and k...

Karinderya menudo

Image
  Pork, pork liver, hotdog, potato, bell pepper... parang ito lang ang ingredients ng pork menudo sa binilhan kong karinderya. Luto sa atsuete.  Hmmm... mas bet ko ang ganitong luto ng menudo, yung walang tomato sauce. Pero weird ang lasa nung hotdog na ginamit dito.  Siguro kung ako gagawa, hindi ako maglalagay ng hotdog. Pinoy-style menudo pa ba yun kung walang hotdog?  Sa wakas, nakapagluto nadin kami ng garlic fried rice. Kaso nasunog nanaman ang bawang LOL

Korean-style egg drop toast, 10 days later

Image
Someone caught a virus on June 13 - probably at the grocery store. We were both sick by the 14th. I had a fever for 2 days then cough and colds for a week.  All food tasted bitter or nothing at all, but I could taste sweet food after the fever broke...  White bread, plain rice and cold Milo were my meals. A few slices of pear, too. I was nauseated and weak. Gutom na pero walang gana.  Korean-style egg drop toast benta ng kapitbahay Napabili nako nito nung 19th. Yung with cheese pinili ko, 110 pesos. Maliit ba? Oks lang kahit di brioche. Matamis kaya nalasahan ko. Masarap pero half lang nakain dahil sa nausea. I thought I could eat more... di pa pala.  I started to feel normal 10 days later, on the 24th. Parang walang nangyari.  But my sense of taste is not back 100% yet as of today, the 28th.
