Cook and Brew.

As I’ve been posting in my FB shoutouts, blog and Twitter, tacos are one of my recent pregnancy cravings.  Beef tacos are the usual servings in restos that I frequent so I’m really curious how does this recipe of Fish Tacos from Yummy.ph taste like.  I have to try this myself one of these days.

3 tilapia fillets, halved lengthwise
salt and pepper to season
For dredging
1  egg, beaten
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 cup vegetable oil
For the tartar sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon calamansi juice
1/2 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon sugar
3 tortilla wraps
3 lettuce leaves
2-3 tomatoes, sliced
salt and pepper to taste

1 Season fillets with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2  Beat egg in one bowl. Place flour and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dredge fish in flour, dip in egg and then dredge in breadcrumbs. Set aside.
3  Prepare pan and oil for frying. Make sure that the oil is hot enough before frying anything. Fry fish until golden brown and cooked through. Place in paper towels. Heat tortilla wraps in unoiled, clean pan.    
4 Make the tartar sauce: Mix together mayonnaise, tomato paste, calamansi juice, mustard, and sugar.
5 Assemble like a taco: spread tartar sauce on tortilla wrap, fold in half, put the lettuce, fish fillets and tomato in a nice layer.

When yearning to lose weight, we often hear people resorting to doing workups, undergo different diet schemes and slimming pills which they think is the effort-free and easiest thing to do.  We rarely hear about people taking yoga to get slimmer.  But according to the experts, yoga is one of the most effective way to lose weight.  It is because it will help you change your lifestyle and therefore abandon the old and unhealthy habits you used to have..including over eating.  The different yoga positions trims certain body parts like using the child’s pose, wind releasing pose, abdominal lift, cobra pose, spinal twist, yogic seal pose and baat pose to lost those flabs in the tummy area and to achieve a tight stomach.  So if you’ve been wanting to lose weight and have tried all other means, why not take those thick yoga mats and start doing yoga exercises?

I was browsing for cake ideas for my niece who’ll be celebrating her birthday next weekend when I found this image.

I really have to read the blog post about this cake as I was wondering if the cake maker had to buy gold bullion and use it as a decor.  But that would be impossible of course because gold bullion are expensive and no one in her right state of mind would make it as just a cake decoration.   Although there’s such a thing as edible gold, the product used in cakes like these are different.  The ones in the picture are faux gold coins.
