		<description><![CDATA[Our Sunday mornings aren&#8217;t usually lazy and relaxed. We don&#8217;t get to snuggle under the covers until midday like most people do. We consume the entire week preparing for this day &#8211; lots of scribbling and bouncing of ideas. Saturdays are reserved for trips to organic markets, local IKEA retailers or landscaping shops. Food blogging [...]]]></description>

Boy&#8217;s mom is a high society monster (impyerno) who promises to ruin girl&#8217;s life if she does not leave her son alone. All too familiar? This is a classic recipe in Philippine movies. It has been used countless [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gen-Z&#8217;s. The Digital Natives. As expected, most of them are surgically attached to their electronics. iPhone, iTouch, PSP. With these portable friends, they can surf the net, play games, listen to music, take photos, communicate with each other. You, who were born during the era of black, rotary dial telephones and television sets that came [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like I mentioned in a previous post, I was going to make mint granita.  Problem was, I couldn&#8217;t find mint in the supermarkets.  So I cheated. Got some Moroccan Mint Tea in the cupboard and I was dying to use the orange blossom water I purchased in Dubai so I figured, &#8220;Heck!  Why not?&#8217; All [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Usually, I like tropical storms. You&#8217;re trapped indoors; it&#8217;s nice and cool; got an excuse to huddle close to another erm&#8230;warm body. Perfect &#8216;bed weather.&#8217; But not when they come with power outage. Like what happened during Typhoon Basyang that ravaged the country last month. No damn electricity for 20 hours. And it was gloomy [...]]]></description>

Invite them inside a home store and I’d bet top dollar they’ll head straight to the kitchen section. Even if they planned on buying bathroom curtains that day, they’ll come home with new pans, casserole dishes, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Right. We&#8217;ve officially entered monsoon season. Three-week intervals of torrential rains. The sun doesn&#8217;t have a chance to glare anymore. And when the skies aren&#8217;t weeping, the overcast gives rise to torturous humidity. Today, it&#8217;s 91%. Approaching Dante&#8217;s inferno. So what do you do? Take cold showers, eat chilled salads, drink lots of water and [...]]]></description>

Freshly-made baguette&#8230; Before boarding my flights to Saigon and Hanoi, I had read a lot about Vietnam as a culinary destination.

Clear, colored, smoked, printed &#8212; doesn&#8217;t matter. I like &#8216;em all. Well, ok&#8230;except ugly ones. There&#8217;s just something so romantic and charmingly old world about [...]]]></description>

Barely had the pan come out of the oven when my brothers and I launched a strike at the still-hot custard, not able to wait a minute longer for it to [...]]]></description>
