November 7, 2016 | MOMI BERLIN

It is the time of the year again when grocery shopping includes buying cans and boxes of milk and all-purpose cream for our fruit salads and macaroni salads. Food fairs and bazaars are aplenty, too, where food merchants take center stage and get the opportunity to showcase their delicious products to foodies and the public. This momi has been to a food fest where more than 30 food concessionaires all geared up showcasing their various specialties to the public. Food on display was a mix of sweet and savory, and one thing that made it delectable was the use of Alaska Crema All-Purpose Cream.

The Alaska Merry Cremas Food Fest at the Trinoma Activity Center I attended last Sunday was more than fun. Aside from the mouthwatering food from cakes to cookies, different pastries to even organic food, what made the event a success was the heartwarming support of the public. They patiently visited each booth and tasted each product. Some went back to the food carts and ordered dozens of those specialty dishes.

Top Reasons to Reinstate the Family Meal

Whatever happened to family dinners, home cooked meals and kisses on the forehead for good night, right?

These days, we all seem to be in a rush to get somewhere, do something, get something done – so much so that we seem to have dropped the importance of family altogether and replaced it with quasi-love on the go. Family values appear to be long gone together with your grandma’s homemade chicken pot pie, with all of us, apparently, just spinning in circles. And while all the instant closeness and fast drive-through food does give you a sense of belonging and fills out your tummy, there’s nothing like the beauty of true values – watching your kid grow up into a wonderful adult, being there to instill healthy habits, spending quality time with your partner, learning to communicate through warm and supporting interaction, building an encouraging atmosphere that fights any frustration, etc.
