I wasn't aware that time that it is the newest product of Selecta. The day after, it was all over the social networking sites. Talking about its taste and they all seemed gaga for a stick of ice cream. With all the things I read, I asked my hubby to buy one for me. <br />

<b>My verdict:</b><br />
1. It tasted really and good the ice cream inside is very light. Not too sweet it is just right for my palate.<br />
2. The Belgian chocolate coating with almonds was a hit for me. At first, I hesitated to taste it because I am not used to eating any kinds of nuts. But, it proved me wrong. It just melted in my mouth.<br />
3. It is quite pricey at Php50 but I can say that it is worth the price. <br />
4. The only downside for me was that.....It was very addicting!!!! After I finished it I wanted MORE!!!sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02949912949133349695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813621598704267916.post-80891179866688272842012-02-28T04:50:00.000-08:002012-02-28T04:50:57.594-08:00A Taste of "Mango Brutus"Summer is once again here and it is fast approaching. Done with the days that we experience having a hard time getting up in the morning because of the cold weather. As early as 5 in the morning, I am perspiring and wants to take a cold shower. So what more can you expect when the clock ticks at 12 noon? <br />
<br />
Waaahhhhh!!!! The heat is making all of us crazy! Some of us take a bath, sip on a very cold soda or water while others, stay on their air conditioned room. But, for my family nothing beats to a tasty, cool fruit shake. Since mangoes are in season it is our lead star.<br />

This has brought a lot of old memories when we were little. The times when our parents, friends or relatives treat us an order of the tastiest mango shake that only Mango Brutus can give. Every sip of it made me smile and reminisce my childhood days. It is just so sad that a product as good as that didn't make it. My hubby and I even outdo one another in reliving our own experience. It was so fun because by simply making a fruit shake we were once again a child. We laughed, giggled and even argued like 5 years old. Hmmm.....It was just so FUN! :-)<br />

But, since the weather wasn't that cooperative and our mode of transportation needs to be fixed we decided to just order our dinner. <br />
<br />
My son and I craved for pizza....Since he is a picky eater, he only eats pizza from Pizza Hut and the only variant he eats is the Hawaiian. So we have no choice...<br />
<br />
The delivery man came on time and what I noticed was the red box of the pizza which reminded me that they have this Hot on the Dot campaign. So, I checked the pizza and it was indeed HOT! yum! yum!<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Indicator goes Black when it's COLD!</td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
And then, I noticed this small sticker in the center of the box. My hubby explained to me that it was a temperature indicator. When it is Hot it shows the word HOT and when it isn't it goes black. <br />
<br />
Hmm...I am pretty much impressed with this idea and as a loyal customer I am very much assured that I get what I paid for. With prompt delivery service and good quality food we can never go wrong with PIZZA HUT!<br />
<br />

I made a newspaper basket and attached it on a hat then covered it with felt paper. It was composed of Grow foods and I used a combination of recycled materials like the milk cartons, true foods like the string beans, nuts and mongo seeds and some printed materials for the meat products. It took me two weeks to finished it but, it was all worth it because my son was one of the <a href="http://www.busymommyme.info/2011/08/nutrition-month-memorable-event.html">winners</a> in his level.<br />

I discovered this place because it is just a walk away from my kid school. At first, I thought that it is expensive to dine here but I was wrong because they offer good food at a very affordable price. It is also a techie friendly place because you can surf the web for free via their free WIFI. But be informed that they are always jam packed especially Sunday mornings. They have no waiting area meaning they will not let you in when they are full.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos I took during my visit.<br />

We, parents must be creative enough to entice their appetite and must ensure that they get proper nutrients. My son is having this dilemma right now because he is tired of eating hamburger buns every morning and afternoon snack time. Luckily, I have this cereal in our food cabinet as his alternative merienda. He doesn't like adding milk to it because he usually likes to eat crunchy foods.

This cereals is also my alternative food when I am craving for something. </span></div>sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02949912949133349695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813621598704267916.post-44114095304220537922011-05-10T07:34:00.000-07:002011-05-10T07:34:49.901-07:00Betty Crocker's Fudge Brownies<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> My son always had something to eat when he wakes up from an afternoon nap. I forgot to buy his favorite bread so we decided to bake the brownies his Tita gave to him. He was a big fan of it so he helped me set up my things and even volunteered to mix the batter himself. We opted to bake it on muffin pan so that it is easier to grasp and eat. After 25 minutes of waiting, he can't contained his hunger he munched 3 pieces one after the other. He is really a chocolate lover and has a sweet tooth like me.</span></div><br />

That is why I am always looking for chicken dishes that might satisfy my palate. So, when we had a dinner last Saturday at Sbarro, I quickly ordered the Spaghetti (in tomato sauce) with Chicken Parmigiana. I know the taste of their spaghetti already but, I am yet to find out the Chicken Parmigiana. I will be biased in rating the spaghetti because I am a certified pasta lover more so, in tomato sauce. It certainly have my 100% approval, likewise the chicken, it doesn't have something special to look forward to. It was like a plain chicken with the tomato sauce, I didn't taste the Mozzarella or Parmesan cheese that is supposed to be there. What I do like though was the bread as its partner sidings. It was served hot, chewy and can fill up a hungry tummy in just one serving. I partnered my meal with a Lemonade that tasted just right.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will definitely dine again here since they have a more friendly and attentive and smart staffs ( even the dining manager assisted us ). The ambiance is good, well lit and very relaxing with a good ventilation. My family agreed that our experience here was much better than what we had at the Pizza Hut Bistro at Eastwood City. The dining experience was worth our money and we finished our meal with all smile and a full tummy. </span><br />

There are strands of beef which you can chew and is juicy too which really appeals to my taste. On the other hand, my kiddo and hubby's hotdog meal is just like any other hotdog meal we can make at home. By the way, this meal usually is paired with a sinangag (garlic fried rice) but we opted to have it plain since we aren't much of a fan of it. Nevertheless, a meal shared by a complete family is all the matters regardless what the food is or how much the food cost.</span></div><br />

Whatever the flavor is still it doesn't excite me. I am always a coffee drinker. When I am stressed out, I drink coffee; when I have to study hard, I drink coffee; when I want to just sit back and relax, I drink coffee. It's my life...It was my life...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I stood in front of the mirror and I don't like what I saw. The image wasn't me at all and it was quite depressing. With all the bulges that wanted to come out from my shirt I told myself that it was really time to love myself again. Many times I ignored my hubby when he asked me that I should loose weight for my own sake. I am stubborn and even reached to the point of eating all that I like. But, not right now....I want to change....I really want to change this time....</span><br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I took the first step of changing my diet, what I eat everyday. Breakfast and lunch I eat minimal rice and for dinner I opted to eat oat meal instead. I also increased my physical activity by jogging 4-5 times a week doing 5-6 rounds on the oval of sports center. Of course, as my body is getting used to running the 5-6 rounds will increase and I am targeting 10 rounds per session. And to help me burn all my fats is drinking green tea 3-4 times a day. In the morning, mid-morning, mid-afternoon and before I go to bed. What I observed by drinking green tea is that I sweat easily and for me that is a good sign that indeed, little by little the fats in my body are converted into energy. I never took note of my weight when I started this regimen but I can say that I am beginning to feel good about myself. I think this will be all for now and I will keep you posted here on my quest to good health.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is not bad after all of wanting to loose weight to be fit and to feel good about oneself.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

Tea comes from the young leaves of the plant, Thea Sinesis. Tea is available in various forms like Black, Green, Oolong, Instant and Jasmine tea.<br />
Green Tea leaves in particular are steamed to destroy enzymes and prevent fermentation that produces a pale gold, clear sparkling tea.</span></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrb25tl7qDTvZra40fs2Y7h6c25pPl_XZJUS611opKek8oi26OUQXgDlAxxcziV_1rv9ngCl3r7sixV6EmFpYjHBcBvnhvZnfD-opFQzlZrNRPyB7cEH2XaDNR-Rxm3fT5RU5kdqMO6zI/s1600/green+tea2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrb25tl7qDTvZra40fs2Y7h6c25pPl_XZJUS611opKek8oi26OUQXgDlAxxcziV_1rv9ngCl3r7sixV6EmFpYjHBcBvnhvZnfD-opFQzlZrNRPyB7cEH2XaDNR-Rxm3fT5RU5kdqMO6zI/s200/green+tea2.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>sethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02949912949133349695noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3813621598704267916.post-10899473735386600542011-03-26T09:55:00.000-07:002011-03-26T09:55:17.036-07:00Chocolates!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg_syl95kcoVr00mk-c3SpZSFg9fyttNIIvYIpiifI9PTHE1CNx6ovezXN3XTrbggg0sQcq2lg0MahRjpWAgtMr2St6dceyMQIkQO1kG_5cKClJcoHuaJgRLqACZ85xRM5evqaLpOqm04/s1600/IMG_1546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg_syl95kcoVr00mk-c3SpZSFg9fyttNIIvYIpiifI9PTHE1CNx6ovezXN3XTrbggg0sQcq2lg0MahRjpWAgtMr2St6dceyMQIkQO1kG_5cKClJcoHuaJgRLqACZ85xRM5evqaLpOqm04/s320/IMG_1546.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes! I am one of those chocolate addict...when I was younger though...But right now, I seldom get to taste of its sweetness. But last Sunday, I eyed on this Cadbury Chocolate Mousse Bar on the stand in a department store. I could not resist it so I asked hubby to buy it for me. We went home and before I went to sleep I grabbed a few bites (4 squares) of it just to satisfy my cravings. Too bad when I woke up the next morning, my throat hurt so much...And then I thought of what my MIL always tells my baby that if we eat chocolate especially at night we have to drink lots of water or gargle before we go to sleep or we might end up having a sore throat. And she is right! Until now, I am suffering from sore throat, cough and colds, with dizziness on the side. Because of that I didn't get the chance to do my usual stuff online. But, what can I do? I love chocolates....I just so love them....(and that 4 squares were the first and last I tasted them..my hubby forbid me to eat more..huhuhu...may be next time when I am well :-) )</span><br />

Serving fresh and healthy sandwiches which uses whole wealth bread along with organic ingredients. I had the chance to have a taste of their sandwich when we visited their branch on The Block (SM North Edsa).</span><br />

The menu board is a bit small but it is enough to help you decide what will you go for. They also have flyers situated on their counter top which is a big help also in choosing your meal. particularly love their tables and couches because it is comfy suited if you want to take a rest after a long walk in the mall. </span><br />

<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Food</b>: Since I am half full when we got there, we just ordered one sandwich which my hubby and I shared. Our first choice was the Country Tuna but it was unavailable so we opted to have the HBTL or the ham, bacon, tomato and lettuce sandwich. I loved the idea of eating a sandwich which is made from a whole wheat bread. On the other hand, I'm not that satisfied with the mayo they used because it was too sweet for my taste. Over all my food experience was good. By the way, the size of their sandwiches is big enough for two. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Price</b>: The menu is composed of sandwiches, pasta, salad, potatoes and drinks. They have 15 varieties of sandwiches to choose from which have a price range of Php55-130. As for the pasta you can choose from their 5 dishes at Php70-85 each. Their potato offerings and salad costs Php 85 and for every add on to the salad there is an additional fee to be paid. As for their drinks you can buy it at Php20-35 depending on your choice. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There are lots of definitions written about food. But, it is simply a matter eaten by man to give life and energy to his body.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>What makes food interesting?</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> There are many cuisines made by different countries and chefs or even home makers. But, have you thought what do these food have to make it stand out from the rest? There are many factors affecting us on how we perceived one food to another. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> First, is its visual presentation. The visual presentation of food is comprised by the size, shape, volume, texture and its color. This is considered as one of the most important factor a food must have specially the one served in restaurants. It can or cannot stimulate our appetite by just mere looking at it. This is also plays a vital role to moms who have children that are picky eaters. Experimenting on how the food will be served can help them make to try it out. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Second factor is the sense of smell. A very good aroma equals good meal and vice versa. Our nose is associated with our taste buds thus, what our nose smells our taste buds can somewhat tell the flavors on it too. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Third would be the chemical component the food has. The basic tastes are sour, salty, sweet, bitter and umami which was added just recently. Just to share:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><i>Sour taste can be determined on the side of the tongue.</i></span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Salty taste can be determined on the side and the tip of the tongue.</span></i></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #783f04;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Sweet taste is concentrated at the tip of the tongue.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Bitter taste is at the back of the tongue.</span></i></span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Fourth factor would be the feel of the food inside our mouth or what we call the tactile sensation.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Fifth is the flavor of the food. This is considered as the sixth sense in evaluating a food. It is the combination of the taste, odor, mouth feel, and the sound of the food.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We all love food and eating them gives us so much experience and comfort. But, do bear in mind that a good food always has the above factors. Cook the food with your heart and you will never go wrong.</span><br />
