No wonder!

The whole month, aside from that revisit post, all I thought blogged about was FOOD! Uh, can you say matakaw? No wonder I have been blowing up like a goddamn balloon. My clothes are all getting real tight across all the wrong places and that is never a good thing. Tsk. To think I should already be dieting by this time.

I need to slim up by August because that's when he'll be coming home. The last time we saw each other, I was so thin slim that my three-month baby bump was not showing even in fitted shirts and skinny jeans. Imagine that? And now I could barely fit into those jeans. What would he say if he sees me like this?

Okay, so I'm betting a huge all-meat pizza that he'd still love me despite my, ehem, physical excesses. But still. You gotta give your man the best, and that includes the best of you, right? And flabs and love handles are not part of that. I can do better than this current state of my body.

So wish me luck!

Recipe: Tuna Spaghetti

I don't know why I have not posted this recipe sooner, given that this is my signature dish after all. I have been cooking up variations of this since my college and review days. In fact, back when we were reviewing for our Board Exam, my housemates and I used to have what we called Spaghetti Thursdays. That is, I cook my special Tuna Spaghetti every Thursday night for dinner. It just varies in plainness or richness, depending upon our budget. If we're a bit short on cash, it's just a basic tuna, pasta and sauce affair. If budget allows, we go all out with cream and hotdogs and mushrooms and what-have-you added to the basic recipe. Damn, I miss those review days.. *nostalgic* But I digress. I'm sharing with you now my basic recipe. Oh, and pardon the unattractive presentation of the pasta.

Of Waffles and College Friends

Here's an interesting trivia for you, my college barkada is called Elffaw. Yes, that's for waffle spelled backward because we're weird quirky like that. The naming was more of a whim than anything while we were eating waffles at the canteen, but it stuck.

Recipe: Buttered Shrimp

This is actually a very easy recipe, and there are probably hundreds of variations scattered all throughout the blogosphere. But this is my version which I did last night. And it tasted pretty good, if I do say so myself. So without further ado:

Recipe: Toaster Cookies and Mallows Treat

For some reason, our microwave oven got busted so I could not make mug cookies or those No-bake Chewy Cookie Bars. So you could imagine my frustration when I was craving for those bars and the stupid microwave won't work. There was still the oven toaster, but I am not sure how marshmallows would react. Just the same, I had to try something. And here is that something:
