Albine's Corner

Being experimental today... Touched one charming charming device. Unfamiliar. It's been here several days ago. Just purchased very intriguing coffee-maker device. Seems I can get along with it. Let's see... Cup of water. Teaspoonful of ground coffee. Plug it. Push the button. Wait... Hmmm, smells good! Taste it? Wow, fine! ...Bitter. That's fine. Dash of sugar... brown sugar, muscovado sugar. Enough to experience bitterness. Sip... Another sip... Aha! Got an idea... Chocolate. Special dark chocolate! Just a few chips. Dropped into it. Stir. How is it? Hmmm! Guess what, i like it! Terrific. Bitter-sweet good. Forget about troubles. Relax. Hear that saxo music playing. See that cup of coffee you're holding. Are you complete? Uh, oh... wish you were here.

H ere's what I bought from the wet market as I dropped by before going home from work: Tofu Kalamansi Cabbage Spring Onions Celery Bean Sprouts Carrots Cucumber Pears Ampalaya Pechay Onions Tomatoes Cooking Oil W ell, I'm a vegetarian right now. This is my act towards my quest and advocate of wellness. I am not good in cooking, but I try to do it wholeheartedly. There's no one else to do it for me, anyway. Most of the time I saute or blanch vegetables. A little creativity on salad dressings and well familiarization on herbs made my food enjoyable. Care to dine with me? ;)
