Banana bread, banana cake, banana split, banana ice cream, banana pie.We love this tropical finger-like fruit and recently, we were introduced to a new refreshing concoction, Banana Java Chip Frappuccino...
Summer days
by Lydia Castillo - April 22, 2007 - 12:00am
The heat is on! Refreshing activities and light but nutritious food are what everyone needs. Salad days are here again, and just well because they are healthy, except when you add too much cream or sugar...

And Easter comes
by Lydia Castillo - April 8, 2007 - 12:00am
Today we celebrate Easter Sunday, "Pasko ng Pagkabuhay", a re-birth. We’d like to take this as a re-awakening of values, beliefs and consciousness....
Treasures in left-overs

We have said this before, and we say it again. These days when every centavo counts, every morsel of food is valuable. Allow us to share with you some left-over recipes. Because it’s...
Suspicion or suspected?
by Lydia Castillo - March 18, 2007 - 12:00am
Is it inherent for an establishment to be suspicious of its shoppers? Is this a country where people who enter a store automatically become suspects?
A morning at Farmers
by Lydia Castillo - March 11, 2007 - 12:00am
This place in Cubao never disappoints us: Farmers’ Market on the fringes of The Gateway, at the Araneta Center. Pleasant blooms of all colors and scents...
Revisiting the Rada Market
by Lydia Castillo - March 4, 2007 - 12:00am

Feeling cheated
by Lydia Castillo - February 11, 2007 - 12:00am
Time was when we never checked prices of the same item at different stores, specially if we already bought it from a favorite establishment. But after a bad experience, we advise shoppers to be aware of...
Shared recipes
by Lydia Castillo - February 4, 2007 - 12:00am
An unannounced brief stop at a sibling’s house yielded a recipe for tulingan which she shared with us. Thing is, this fish is not always available in the markets. She got hers, fresh from Batangas, in...
Price-watching in Metro Manila
by Lydia Castillo - January 28, 2007 - 12:00am
As we go around, we have noted that prices vary very little from one store to another. Give or take P1, P2 or even P5, commodities, specially food stuff, are at an almost uniform cost. Of course, one peso...
The other side
by Lydia Castillo - January 21, 2007 - 12:00am
Venturing to the other side of town, we decided to re-visit an old haunt, looked into an innovative shop, marveled at the imported selection of a popular chain and were rather amazed at the newest, humongous...
Old files, new ideas
by Lydia Castillo - January 14, 2007 - 12:00am
We have this habit of keeping every piece of paper (letters, receipts), plus magazines and printed materials. Through the years we have accummulated a lot, enough to fill an average-sized room. Periodically,...

by Lydia Castillo - January 7, 2007 - 12:00am
After the merrymaking comes the big chore–cleaning up. In most households, there will be holiday food left over, and the refrigerator or freezer may not have enough space to store them all. If there...
