Roast Chicken with Three Mushroom Recipe

· 9 Comments

One night, I woke up feeling cold.  I checked if the husband opened the air conditioning unit as the temperature was so unbearable.  It turned out the cold temperature was coming from the outside.  Husband installed an exhaust fan in our room wherein it pulls air from the outside.  Thus, the cold air from the outside is what enters our room.  And again, the temperature was so unbearable.  Indeed, the Christmas season is coming.

And speaking of Christmas, for most Pinoys, Christmas season is the perfect time to host dinner get-togethers or attend family reunions and catch up with loved ones.  And it is in family gatherings that we bring our specialty.  Nothing beats making our loved ones feel extra special as we step up our cooking game by adding homemade showstoppers to the table.

Mom and Meeeh

Let me tell you something about my mom.

Mom and Meeeh

My mother grew up in the province.  She is the youngest of eight children of a farmer and a housewife.  While her older brothers and sisters help their father on the farm, she is left at home to assist my grandmother in different household chores.  At a young age, she already knows how to wash and iron clothes, scrub the floor, and cook food.

They don’t have a luxurious life in the province.  What they lack in clothes and material things, they are abundant in food.  After all, they have a vast farm with all kinds of fruits and vegetables. They also have different types of animals, from chicken to pig, horse, and goat.

My mother would tell me she used to milk their goat first thing in the morning, and they would share a pitcher of fresh goat milk on breakfast.  And in each sip, they know all the nutrients the milk gives them. Yes, my mom and her siblings grew up drinking goat’s milk.

This parent believes that if we want our youngsters to soar, we need to let them explore the sky.  Allow them to discover what is comfortable and not, fail if they may, and learn from the consequences of their actions. Because it is only through that experience will they learn to bounce back.

Same with discovering their gifts, let them choose what interest them.  If possible, support their talents and hone them through practice and mentorship.

5-Point Checklist to Quality IT Solutions

· 2 Comments

We’ve been blogging for three years already, and for three years, too, we are with Masaion IT Solutions (formerly Coffeemags).  They handle our domain registration and web hosting. These two are the two vital elements in running a website.  As the domain is the address on the internet, web hosting, on the other hand, is the account on a computer where one stores and serves website files.

We have basic knowledge about blogging; thus, we must find a reliable hosting provider. More than reliability, it is essential that they are patient and considerate, too. Why? Because again, we have limited know-how about the technicalities.  With a polite web host provider, we can run to them for help to solve either big or small website issues.  And among the many choices before us, good thing we opted for Masaion.  And more than our domain registration and web hosting, Masaion provides real IT Solutions.

8 Tips for Feeding Picky Eaters

There comes a stage in a toddler’s life when he becomes an incredibly picky eater. Our two-year-old SumoSam can be one, and he can surprisingly survive with just breastmilk, lots of juice and water, and rice in a day.  Yes, he prefers to eat rice without any viand.  And he knows when I secretly put even a tiny piece of beef under the rice.  He would hand over to me the meat as he continues to chew his rice.

Do you have picky eaters at home, too? Make their mealtime less of a struggle but more enjoyable and healthier with these fail-proof tips.  It’s never too late to start to develop better eating habits.

Time flies quickly. As every year passes, the months and days seem to be streaking by at warp speed. Imagine our Firstborn who can’t even complete a sentence at five-year-old is now a 17-yo honors high school student. His four other brothers are growing fast, too. And this unstoppable march of time turns our little ones into gentlemen with each day bringing discoveries, challenges, and growth. 

Creating mealtime memories

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind. Buddha

It’s true.  Peace of mind is something too aloof because we keep on hating others for their achievement while we forget or belittle our successes.  As it is human nature to compare ourselves with others, this act, however, makes us come up short.

Envy makes many of us wish for something that others else have. And the sad part is, we can’t seem to be truly happy for them. This leads us to hate these people.  But what we don’t realize is that this sensation is ruining our life.

I admit there were episodes in my life that I envy others of their achievements.  But as there are many ways to get stuck in a cycle of envy, there are also several ways to deal with bitterness and eventually lead us to true happiness.

It was still very clear in my head. The time between her breathing began to stretch out with many seconds. Her breathing pattern, too, became louder. It was still in the afternoon, and we were able to exchange a few thank yous and even reminisce happy memories. We were still waiting for her parents to arrive from Nueva Ecija, and she bravely hung on. And after everyone has come, she finally let go and die. It was past midnight. My cousin-in-law, whose body was overwhelmed with a disease that spread exceptionally, died of breast cancer.
