Thirteen Things I Want to Gorge on RIGHT NOW!

 

1. Carson’s Ribs. I’ve only eaten here once when we visited an aunt and I just absolutely LOVED it! I would kill for Carson’s Ribs right now. Sigh.

2. Ben & Jerry’s New York Super Fudge Chunk. Chocolate Ice Cream with White & Dark Fudge Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts & Fudge Covered Almonds.

3. Maguro Sashimi. Nothing beats fresh fresh fresh sashimi! I can probably eat a whole kilo all by myself.

4. Lay’s Original Potato Chips. Crunch! Munch! I’ve been craving for it since this afternoon.

5. Ghirardelli Chocolate Hazelnut Hot Cocoa. Heaven especially since mornings have been pretty cold lately. Mmmmm…

6. Aristocrat Chicken Barbeque. Everyone’s been raving about it and I just wanna know what the fuss is all about!=D

7. See’s Toffee-ettes. Sugar high galore! My kinda thing!

8. See’s Almond Royale. Need I say more?

9. Churros and chocolate. Aaaahhhh.

10. Serendipity’s Golden Opulence Sundae. This $1,000 sundae is something i can only dream about :p with “5 scoops of the richest Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream infused with Madagascar vanilla and covered in 23K edible gold leaf, the sundae is drizzled with the world’s most expensive chocolate, Amedei Porceleana, and covered with chunks of rare Chuao chocolate, which is from cocoa beans harvested by the Caribbean Sea on Venezuela’s coast. The masterpiece is suffused with exotic candied fruits from Paris, gold dragets, truffles and Marzipan Cherries. It is topped with a tiny glass bowl of Grand Passion Caviar, an exclusive dessert caviar, made of salt-free American Golden caviar, known for its sparkling golden color. It’s sweetened and infused with fresh passion fruit, orange and Armagnac. The sundae is served in a baccarat Harcourt crystal goblet with an 18K gold spoon to partake in the indulgenceserved with a petite mother of pearl spoon and topped with a gilded sugar flower by Ron Ben-Israel.”

11. Giordano’s Chicago’s World Famous Pizza. Nell had me absolutely craving for this since his blog about Chicago!

12. Mc Donald’s Twister Fries. Why oh why do these have to be seasonal?! Argh!

13. Stolichnaya Raspberry Vodka. To top it all off of course!

Thursday Club: Steak Night

And THIS, everyone, is why i will NEVER lose weight!

We have what we call a Thursday Club. It’s basically when Uncle Gi prepares something sinfully delightful for dinner which practically adds 5 lbs or so to my weight but tons of happiness to my tummy!

Last night he prepared a super tender and flavorful steak with herbed potatoes and sauteed asparagus. Exaggeration aside, his steaks make any other steakhouse special pale in comparison! I’ve never really been fond of the salt & pepper American steak for one. I prefer the kick of the herbs blended into my steak Each steak was about 300-400g so you can just imagine how HAPPY my tummy was! Hahaha!

Thursday Clubs are definitely highlights of each week. Something to starve yourself to death the rest of the week for. Oh the price of a sinfully delightful meal!

Tuesday Ramblings

Let me just ramble a bit …

Today’s breakfast was exceptionally wonderful! We had buttered corn and oh so yummy freshly brewed Timothy’s German Chocolate Cake flavored coffee. Ahhhh … Yum! Yum! Yum! I know technically, it’s not the perfect combination but I have been craving for buttered corn for days now! So this duo is just heaven on earth for me today! Coffee always tastes yummier when it’s raining, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s the rain that’s making me so giddy these days.

~*~*~*~

It’s been raining for 2 days straight now. Thank goodness for Chedeng, the newest and ironically, the most awaited storm to hit our country. We’ve only had 3 so far when we normally should have had about 8 already. They said it’s still not enough to bring our dam water levels back up but it’s better than nothing. I’ve always loved the rain.

Mika was so funny this morning. She gave a Yakult bottle to me and said, “Mommy?” I figured she wanted me to open it. Since she already knows how to say please, I thought maybe she just forgot. So I tried to remind her. I wasn’t prepared for the following exchange though:

Me: What will you say? (she normally would say “please mommy, open?”)
Mika: Tutu Mommy! (meaning thank you mommy!)
Me: No, you say please first! Okay, what will you say?
Mika: Please? Tutu Mommy!
BOINK!
