…that while i was sleeping [sort of] nursing a flu, ‘wine’ flu [that is according to my neighbor Stel]…my daughter S was concocting this facial mask.

at alam nyo rin ba na ito ay gawa sa kalahating avocado…the other half, kinain ko hehe!

at isang carrot.
a little bit of EVOO, honey and cream… and voila! instant @ home pampering by-from-with my dear sweet dalaginding…

Ingredients for a great facial are no further away than your own refrigerator. Avocado and carrots may sound like something healthy to eat, but then when blended together, they make a wonderful facial for dry or mature skin. The vitamin E in the avocado, combined with the antioxidants and beta-carotene in the carrot, will improve your skin’s texture and tone and fade age spots.

Welcome to another week of foodplay, if i may say so. Looking at the photos of this Pan-Roasted Lime Marinated Pork Tenderloin with Mango Salsa and Almond Rice Pilaf, I believe foodplay is perfectly inherent. I had so much fun making this dish a few days ago…the tenderloins served warm and rice pilaf…toasty, the mango salsa , oh so refreshing. delicioso!
What made it more enjoyable was the photo shoot, of course.

…first, it was the star of the show this week…the SLICED PORK TENDERLOIN.

…funny how the salsa and other garnish came in second, you might ask? ..the RICE pilaf was just a hurried decision. i completely erased that part due to lack of exact ingredients until M and I decided, what the heck…make do with what we have. and guess what…still, yummy maybe even better! and without it, the whole enchilada [as they say] will not taste as good!

…i am posting the recipe in a few! and this brings us to the last part of this so-called foodplay! showing it off! hee! now, it’s your turn!
is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, PINOY style!

…as is. or,

thinly sliced, to add flavor and zest on to your cereals, together with a half a handful of dried cranberries. topped with almond slivers/slices for some added crunch…ishgooood!!!

ever since the holiday season, we have been buying boxes of these sweet and succulent clementines especially because the kids love them so…
[kaya lang wala nang masyadong mabili nito sa ngayon...]
once we even bought a new batch even if we still have some left at home, and so the over ripe ones turned into this refreshingly good clementine smoothie made by M…
[sa kahiligan ng mga bata dito, minabuti naming bumili ng panibagong kahon maski na mayroon pang natitirang ilang piraso sa bahay, at sa kahinugan ng mga ito...minabuti ni M na gawin itong masarap na inumin!]

with an ORANGE theme!
…a variety of the mandarin orange, a clementine is an oblate, medium-sized citrus fruit. The exterior is a deep orange colour with a smooth, glossy appearance. Clementines separate easily into eight to fourteen juicy segments. They are very easy to peel, like a tangerine, but lack the tangerine’s seeds. Clementines are also known as seedless tangerines, although occasionally they do contain a few seeds.
