Banana Cake

I love to cook because I love to eat good food.
I like to eat, that's why I learned how to cook.
I love to read cookbooks and feel hungry before I even finish the book.
And so I'll end up cooking in the kitchen.
I read recipes and I like tweaking them and have my own version of the recipe.
Surprisingly, people who comes to my party or my children's party always leaves a good comment.
One of my guests, even told me to set up my own catering business.
But because I'm not in my own country, I guess it'll be quite hard to do that.
I admit, I'm not good in baking. Not quite. Not yet.
But when my husband took the whole pan of banana cake I baked to his office, I was so happy because people really liked it. They even ordered 120 pcs of banana muffins for the office party.
So, you'll be the judge.....
I'm going to share my recipes very soon.

been busy...

I've been painting and surfing these past few days. I've been lazy to stay in the kitchen so I didn't really cook something special.

But yesterday morning when I went outside the house, and a cool breeze hit my face, I felt really nice! And right away, I felt like eating something soupy and hot.
Something that we, Filipinos, like to eat when the weather's nice or if it's raining.
So I made a pot of arroz caldo that morning.

And you know how the rice expands later on? I had to add more and more water until the rice really expands. And finally, my big pot is full of this good smelling, deliciously seasoned arroz caldo. The chicken's so tender, almost falling off its bones. I was done cooking at around 8:15 am.

Then, I had to give a bowl to my neighbors because it's too much for me and my family. That arroz caldo in my pot didn't last too long. It was gone before lunch time.
