A Mother’s hand, a hand for beauty: a conversation with Renah

Alright! I’ve been gone a long time. But I really have valid reason for that and it will reflect on my succeeding posts why I was M.I.A. Although, I am not yet ready to divulge it as I’m saving it for rainy days aka: severe writer’s block days! Nevertheless, I am writing to feature anContinue reading “A Mother’s hand, a hand for beauty: a conversation with Renah”

Simple Banana Bread a la Housewife, MD

I would honestly say that I have mastered my simple banana bread since I’ve been making this for quite sometime and have improved over and over. I had a lot of tasters for this recipe already (from different people of different nationalities with varied taste buds) so I am pretty confident with how it willContinue reading “Simple Banana Bread a la Housewife, MD”

Easy (and no meat) Pad Thai Recipe a la Housewife, MD

Before I start jotting down my recipe for this Pad Thai, I’d like to make a disclaimer: this is not the authentic style. The flavor, ingredients and technique were based on my and husband’s own liking and palate, also at least 3 recipes from the web which I will mention later. Pad Thai and PanangContinue reading “Easy (and no meat) Pad Thai Recipe a la Housewife, MD”

Perfect Beach day at Terrigal

Yellow sand, blue-green sea, bed of clouds and blue skies, it’s like Apple’s wallpaper of the sea foam and sand came to life. That’s what our visit to Terrigal Beach looked like. The havoc of bushfires here in New South Wales is so out of proportion but we were given one good day to enjoyContinue reading “Perfect Beach day at Terrigal”

Little Fires Everywhere: A Book Review

Have you ever encountered a book that you really wish would become a motion picture just because the book is so true to life that it needs character representation?

The Art of Fruit Wine: The Firescreek Winery Experience

Wine culture appreciation post ahead! One of the things I enjoy in living here in Australia is their wine culture. I guess I’m a budding wine junkie, and I am just at the right place and at the right time in my life. One fine Sunday, TJ and I met up with some new foundContinue reading “The Art of Fruit Wine: The Firescreek Winery Experience”

Regine

Aside from all the recipes, places, and realizations that I post, the core of this blog would be the collaborative inspiration that I draw from people. There’s this force of ingenuity when a story transcends and wakes a part of your spirit especially when it is a story of strength in all levels and inContinue reading “Regine”

Cinnamon Rolls a la The Housewife, MD

Holidays are approaching fast and you can’t help but imagine the smell of cinnamon hovering all over and filling your tastebuds. One of my favorite cinnamon rolls are from a popular bake shop that is a vivid reminder of childhood and holidays. When we go visit relatives in our province, we stop by at aContinue reading “Cinnamon Rolls a la The Housewife, MD”

Living in the In-Between

There’s a reason for my procrastination in posting articles. I found myself crawling in to a deep, sad hole that I thought would take me back to the Philippines. Yes, that’s how badly shaped my emotional state was, but I soldiered on and kept it going because I do know that my biggest supporter isContinue reading “Living in the In-Between”

Baked Lechon (Pork) Belly a la The Housewife, MD

These crispy goodness was served last Friday! It’s my first time to make something out of a pork belly other than a stewed viand, and making it extra [crispy] like so. Lechon is a famous celebratory food in the Philippines. The local term Lechon is a slow- roasted pig cooked while rotating over piles ofContinue reading “Baked Lechon (Pork) Belly a la The Housewife, MD”
