…ito ang isa sa mga naipamahagi ko sa mga kaibigan kong nasa tabi tabi lang in other words, mga kapitbahay. nagawa ko na ito noong nakaraang pasko, pero di pa rin maiaalis sa akin na tanungin ang sarili¬† kung ito ba ay magugustuhan nila…silang mapapalad na nakatikim nito…wehehehe! j/k!:)
sana naman, di ba?
these are the ALMOND PETITES that i found to be so good [thanks to my neybur, Stel who taught me how to make them] taste-wise, definitely a yes!¬† it’s also a perfect give-away goodie! this time i packaged it in those pans and wrapped in simple red cellophane, tied in bows. too bad i didn’t get to take a photo of that all wrapped up:(
we love it so much in the household that i always get requests most especialaly from the daughter with a sweet tooth, but hers has got to be plain. without any nuts, that;s how she likes it, not that she’s allergic to nuts. allow me to mention too that the last batch i made were even better, with Pistachios in it!:)

TOMATO
When Ces asked if I would be interested to do the second “Iron Chef LaPiS Challenge”, I was honestly both excited and a wee bit, ahem, “apprehensive”.
Excited because this would probably be the closest I would get to rubbing (virtual) elbows with “foodie greats” and “iron chefs extra-ordinaire” in cyberspace and apprehensive because I was quite afraid that my entry wouldn’t quite measure up to LaPiS’s “discriminating” standards… hahaha! J
I know…‘nuff of my cheesy intro… 
Obviously, I welcomed the “Tomato Challenge”!  So, here goes…
to¬∑ma¬∑to¬† (t…ô-mƒÅ’t≈ç, -m√§’-)
n.   pl. to·ma·toes
A widely cultivated South American plant (Lycopersicon esculentum) having edible, fleshy, usually red fruit.
According to Wikipedia, tomato consumption is believed to benefit the heart among other things and has been associated with decreased risk of breast cancer, head and neck cancers and might be strongly protective against neurodegenerative diseases.
And if this isn‚Äôt enough reason to munch away on this ‚Äúveggie-fruit‚Äù or include this is our daily diet, tomatoes contain lycopene, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants.¬† Lycopene has also been shown to improve the skin’s ability to protect against harmful UV rays.
Tomatoes are also used extensively in Mediterranean cuisine, especially Italian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The tomato is acidic thus making it especially easy to preserve in home canning -  be it whole, in pieces, as tomato sauce, or tomato paste. Tomato juice is often canned and sold as a beverage while unripe green tomatoes can also be breaded and fried, used to make salsa, or pickled. The fruit is also preserved by drying, often by sun, and sold either in bags or in jars in oil.
As for me, since cooler days are upon most of us especially with the onset of winter, what better way to keep warm and toasty than with a steaming bowl of this…
For the recipe, click here.
Yes, a definite comfort food – both for the tummy and for the soul. Couple this with a grilled mozzarella sandwich and I’m in “foodie heaven”! (*sigh*)
How about you? What’s your take on the terrific tomato?
This is Pinky of The Kingdom Kitchen Tales – honored and privileged to be this week’s LaPiS guest contributor. A blessed Sunday to all!
is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, Pinoy style! thanks a lot for guest hosting PINKY!
The delicious aroma of food. The gastronomic delight we get from the smell of breakfast. The pungent scent of Pinoy breakfast. salty DILIS, garlicky SINANGAG coupled with the appetizing flavor of spiCy vinegar dip!
SARAP!
Lahok para sa na may temang…AMOY!
the simple and lowly carbs filled POTATO…is this week’s theme. simple? i had a difficult time deciding on what to post here! geesh! seriously. but more importantly i was so swamped the whole weekend and with that…i offer my deepest apologies again this time for posting oh so late!
anyway…i was able to come up with anything Potato in a jiffy…what better way to eat them but having them baked! slathered with loads and loads of butter, a dollop of sour cream and a drizzling of chopped chives. deelicious!!! even my daughter loves it!
is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, Pinoy style! we are off next week in lieu of All Soul’s /Saint’s Day…and so i bid you all a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
kids and nutella…what can possibly go wrong, right? and if i may say so, even for big kids like me! i made these on one of those playdate days. tried to make the simple bread and nutella spread a bit more fancy by making them into cutesie nutella sushi! an easy-piecey, quick-in-a-jiff, eye-candy solution for KIDS and their friends!

update: we will be doing some Iron Chef inspired themes soon as per Jay‘s suggestion and as agreed on by most of you. do not fret though…the concept of having a ‘secret ingredient’ is all we are borrowing from the show. and to kick off this new game, next Sundays theme is STRAWBERRIES! have fun and happy week ahead guys!:)
…Saturday mornings, more often than not is our ‘you-me-while-the-kids-do-karate’ time as a couple or something like that.¬† our less than an hour gastronomic date. or shall i say, our ONLY date a week if we’re lucky enough. as simple as it is,¬† we definitely love it and always look forward to this ‘luxury’ that we are blessed with.

If you notice, we are still on freestyle this week as I forgot to post the upcoming themes. My apologies. So I am happy to announce that for next Sunday, our theme is all about…KIDS! so put those thinking caps on and let the child in you reign supreme!!!:)
P.S. future themes will be posted in a few and just to let you know we might be going through past themes now as I am running out of new ones for now. again, if you have any themes in mind, just give me a buzz! and if you want to host that theme or any other Sunday, let me know! Have a great one guys!!!
…after a long while, we came back to Panera for a simple yet hearty dinner for Samia’s 90909 birthday.
and this is what i had…the Lobster Sandwich.
…coupled with a bowl of deliciously warm Broccoli Cheddar chowder.
is a weekly thematic FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY meme, Pinoy style! this week…freestyle!:)
…Samia did it again! she managed to do a quick and easy sweet tooth fix for both of us and then for dad later.
…out of the package [not in box eh:) hee!] from Betty Crocker. seriously, it’s that good you won’t need any measuring and scrambling for ingredients!
