I started writing when I was 8. My mom got me a journal where I could rant (prob so I won't be an annoying brat). I stopped writing for 8 years until the pen and then later on the keyboard called on me again. I blog because I like writing and that's just about it. Hope you get inspired though... Bite the apple!
I'm so stoked! I finished another cover for my kitchen appliances. The design of inspired from a post on Pinterest. I just embellished it a bit more.
I always add pockets to my kitchen covers. It's where I put the accessories of the gadget. I hate looking for them in drawers, so I prefer to keep them close.
It took me a few weeks to make it. I made a pattern first since I had to match it with the size of the food processor. One thing different I did for this batch of covers is I added fusible interfacing to make it sturdier.
I learned to love pickled onions when it was served as part of taco Thursdays at work. You had to build your own taco and you could add whatever ingredient you like. I kept experimenting until I found the best mix for me. The only other place I'd get to eat pickled onions is when we dine out and it's part of the side dishes offered.
I honestly haven't seen pickled onions sold in groceries. A friend sells it, but she lives far away and we're only able to order if she has delivery in our city. I figured I can just try making it at home. It's much like how my Dad would make pickled cucumber. To make it scarlet you just need to add beet root and that's what I did.
Here's how I made it:
The day after making it we made taco at home and it turned out pretty great! Yum!
TBH, we always make ready to cook mac and cheese. I never tried making it with real cheese. A friend brought several pieces of cheese. Another friend explained what they were good for. One was gyuyere cheese which I learned was good for pasta.
I watched a couple of videos to learn how to make mac and cheese. I chose to adapt Chef Tatung's Mac and cheese recipe. He used regular boxed cheese and mentioned you can add other cheeses. I used the food processor to grate the gyuyere cheese and found some leftover mozzarella cheese in the fridge.
It was fairly easy to make and my boys absolutely loved it. Miggy said it tasted like mac and cheese from a restaurant we ate in once. I was so used to regular boxed mac and cheese and Kenny Rogers mac and cheese, it never occurred to me to try making it with real cheese. It mega leveled-up! Now I don't think I'll buy boxed mac and cheese anymore, LOL.
Here's how we made it at home:

Felt a bit better today, so I whipped up some Pasta Al Telefono for dinner. I used rigatoni noodles this time to make it a bit authentic. Since it doesn't have any meat, we ordered Baliwag chicken for our protein needs.
Glad it turned out well. The secret is to use cherry tomatoes. I tried it with regular crushed tomatoes, but cherry tomatoes made this dish perfect!

Now I have an excuse to go to Alabang again to buy some canned cherry tomatoes, haha.
