Cook and Brew.

Another thing that I love about the husband is that he knows just the right timing when to infuse a joke as a pick-me-up on days that I’m so low. Just yesterday, when I told him that we are invited to a friend’s wedding next month and I exclaimed that I’m so looking forward to the dessert buffet table and the dip station in the reception, his face lit up and excitedly said that he will just lounge around that area throughout the wedding banquet. I was perplexed because I’m aware that he isn’t too sweets and is on a diet so why will he frequent that section. Then he started flexing his muscles and laughed hard at me. It’s then that I realized he was joking and has the other dip station in mind. He was actually pertaining to a body press set for muscle toning. The joke’s kinda corny but he said that he’s amused at his own joke especially when he saw my gullible and astounded face.

I’m searching for a new meal to try at Nestle’s recipe database and upon browsing further their site I found out that they have various job openings for those who are wishing to take their careers to a higher and more exciting level. I have no immediate plans of returning to the corporate world, perhaps, I may consider it in the future but not so soon as I’m enjoying, doing good and if I may add, earning enough with my online writing works now. Further, becoming a work at home mom is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made ever since I became a mom.

But anyhow, you might want to take a look at their list and see if there’s a post that interests and suits your qualifications.

Meanwhile, I’m loving how their Recipe Website is brimming with easy to do and luscious recipe meals. Can’t wait to try them.

Got this from my Facebook wall feed.

Being a predominantly a Catholic country, I’m sure a lot of us is on search for non meat foods that we can eat during the Lenten season.

Conti’s, one of my favorite restaurant and bake shop and the makers of the infamous Mango Bravo cake, came up with their lenten food specials that are more on fish and vegetable dishes. These are the Grilled Salmon Head, Salmon Belly in Olive Oil, Fish Roll, and Vegetable Roll. I am yet to taste these dishes but knowing that it’s from Conti’s, they all must be good.

So for those who are up for an abstinence sacrifice this Lenten season, these are indeed good choices, healthier too, if I may add. As these are good and healthy choices, the need for adipex diet pills is somehow lifted during this time. And if coupled with fasting, I’m sure that there will be a sexier and slimmer you on Easter Sunday. But then again, let’s all remember the true meaning of these lenten sacrifices that we’re taking above all other selfish intentions.

We’ve had celebrations and parties one after the another these last couple of weeks. And as parties are synonymous to food feasting, the husband is now complaining how huge he has become now. He said, he doesn’t have plans of hitting the scale soon because he dreads the results. Now, I was forced to take on the task of finding the best natural fat burner that is in the market now for him. The fact that a few of his large sized shirts became tight and snugged fitting on him depresses him all the more. I tried to cheer him up by saying in jest that I can always shop for him XL sized shirts but guess what his reaction was, he just flashed me a smug look. LOL.
