Make your Christmas cheesier with Kraft Eden Cheese

by Jeric on November 10, 2009

Cheese has been staple in Filipino homes since time immemorial being one of the oldest manufactured food. I am sure that you’ll agree with me that adding cheese to most dishes would make them even more special and more appealing to one’s palate. It’s doesn’t fail to give the “linamnam” goodness to any dish. Who doesn’t love cheese? Well, since the Christmas season is fast approaching, it wouldn’t be a surprise that Kraft Eden Cheese would become part of every noche buena across the country.

I really love cheese! Once in a while, I would prepare cheese omelette just to satisfy my “cheese craving” or sometimes I would put a sprinkle of grated cheese on my food. Plus, dipping chips in cheese is HEAVEN. Sometimes, my mom would prepare baked potato with cheese and bacon bits, which my siblings and I would enjoy. With cheese, the sky is the limit—you can slice it, grate it, sprinkle it, melt it, and so on and so forth. In deed, cheese is the most versatile ingredient to cook with.

Enjoying coffee at home :)

*Play Smooth Jazz music here*

Because I love coffee whether it’s an Americano or Latte (flavored or not), my mom bought me an espresso machine. With the Krups XP4020, I can now enjoy espresso drinks at home. It’s about time that my cheap but reliable one-cup coffee maker retires. The espresso machine comes with a free coffee grinder. So I always get freshly ground beans every time I decide to have coffee!

Krups XP4020

I love this machine and I’ve been making espresso drinks not only for myself but also for my mom and my sisters. I’ve been practicing steaming / frothing milk for the perfect cappuccino. I wish to learn how to do latte art but I can’t get the right consistency of the milk (smooth, silky and velvety). But so far so good!

I’m learning! Watching “how to” videos from YouTube Broadcast Yourself really helps.

For the 8 days that this espresso machine has been with us, we approximately saved P2,145 worth of coffee drinks. Isn’t great? Instead of having coffee outside, we’re enjoying our coffee at home!

Instead of throwing away the used coffee grounds, my mom used the “used coffee grounds” as fertilizer on our simple and small garden.

I really enjoy using this espresso machine although it needs a lot of effort (preparation, grinding the beans, pulling the shot, steaming milk, cleaning the machine, etc.).

EDIT: Sige, next time I make espresso drinks I’ll take pictures of them.

I CONQUERED THE BACONATOR!

Wendy's Baconator

On January 6, 2009, I decided to try the new Wendy’s Baconator®. If you see any burger on the sidebar of this blog or at the top of this post, yes that’s the Baconator®. I liked it but it’s quite expensive especially for a struggling student like who gets less than a hundred bucks per day as my allowance. I finished the whole thing! I need to! It’s my hard-earned money. I think I spent P280 something for a Baconator Meal (Baconator + 1 Biggie Iced Tea + 1 Biggie Fries).

But I’m definitely coming back for more BACONATOR! Try it

White Hat’s Italian Frozen Yogurt

by Jeric on October 20, 2008

During the last few weeks of my first semester, I spent most of my time in UP Manila taking examinations and submitting a few requirements. Since UP Manila is just a stone-throw away from Robinson’s Place Manila, I decided to try White Hat, the Italian Frozen Yogurt which my blogger friends are bragging about.

I believe that frozen yogurt is the in thing now with the birth of different places offering the classic or flavored frozen yogurt. Of the two different frozen yogurt places I’ve tried, White Hat is the best. The White Hat classic frozen yogurt is as sour as those yogurts available in grocery stores with a little bit of sweetness, which I really liked. I want my frozen yogurt sour because if it’s sweet then it’s not yogurt anymore.

Frozen yogurt is the best-tasting dessert you can eat without the guilt. Aside from enjoying the classic frozen yogurt on its own, you can choose on the wide array of topping you can put on your frozen yogurt. My favorites include: Homemade cheesecake, fresh strawberries and Kiwi.

After trying it for the very first time, I found myself going back to their store just to have my frozen yogurt fix. White Hat’s classic frozen yogurt is really made of pure win!

White Hat has branches in Robinson’s Place Midtown Wing and SM Mall of Asia. For more information, you could check their website at www.thewhitehat.com.ph.
