http://mincedme.blogspot.com/2008/09/trapping-last-days-of-summer.html
Tuesday, September 9, 2008. Trapping the last days of summer. We're now on the tail end of our first summer here in vancouver. summer here is still cold. but vancouverites wear ultra mini skirts while i hide in my thick jacket. Shops here place on sale different cool treats to fizzle out the summer heat. on my part, summer or winter, i always enjoy a good serving of ice cream. Safeway popsies. Twin popsies from manila is better. Premium ice cream. expensive in manila. still expensive here! The pilgrim's ...

minced me: October 2007
http://mincedme.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 23, 2007. Hunny, this is for you. One night after work, we went home and had nothing to cook. in the freezer, i found some frozen fries and some bread i use for my office sandwiches. i quickly fried some fries and made a nice ham and cheese sandwich. poured out some catsup on the plate and some mayo to make it little creamy. I gave it to my hunny and said, "hunny, this is for you.". then she laughed out loud. oh life. Links to this post. Thursday, October 4, 2007. Salt and pepper to taste.

minced me: Granville Island part 2
http://mincedme.blogspot.com/2008/07/granville-island-part-2.html
Thursday, July 24, 2008. Granville Island part 2. Running around the farmer's market, you'll find it tiring and now you're willing to get something to sink your teeth into. of all the shops in the market, i found this sausage shop with a long line of people. this is my cue for me to try their sausages. I got a double smoked sausage with sauerkraut, caramelized onions, pickle relish, pickled bell peppers and whole grain mustard. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Granville Island part 2.

Thursday, October 30, 2008. I'm back and it's my first autumn. trees are turning red. time to cook red! Vancouver is a good place to find different cuisines as the city is built with different cultures of the world. indian stores are everywhere. as a newcomer here, we got lost somewhere around the city and got into a good indian store. Ge got different curry mixes, some are sold in pouches, some are sold by the kilo. here is a simple way of preparing a simple dish but making it appear real! Add the cocon...

Wednesday, May 28, 2008. Easy baked ribs - anything goes. Baked ribs is one of the best great looking and great tasting food to serve for a group. it will definitely be the main conversation piece on any gathering. they would think that you are an oh-so-perfect master of the kitchen. well.there's a trick. just go through the refrigerator, check what's left of it, mix everything, then.voila! This meal was done as i saw the ribs on sale at a downtown supermarket. I got the slab for just $2.50. For the mari...

minced me: craving for KFC
http://mincedme.blogspot.com/2008/11/craving-for-kfc.html
Saturday, November 8, 2008. My hunny and i went to richmond centre and got hungry in the middle of walking around in circles. at the center of the mall is a food court. and in one little corner is.voila! Fresh chicken here is a bit expensive which makes KFC a little bit expensive. we got the best priced meal for the buck and got a 4 piece regular recipe chicken, a regular sized mashed potato, a large drink, and a tub of gravy. all are for about 12 dollars. wow!

minced me: 8-8-8
http://mincedme.blogspot.com/2008/08/8-8-8.html
Saturday, August 9, 2008. Eighth day of the eitghth month of the eighth year. it only comes once in a a millenium. i'm lucky to be alive on this day! A great chinese philosophy considering it very prosperous. it is probably the reason beijing olympics opted to host the games. To ride with the chinese luck, one shop here released new flavors of potato chips. they added an oriental zing to an old favorite. Is he a noble kitchen man aside from handling a big hungry army?

Sunday, September 23, 2007. Tempura Japanese Grill is around for quite some time now. Name sounds very generic but it packs some surprises. This is a bit different as the japanese restaurant is purely filipino owned. Some authenticity might be amiss but i see it as japanese food with pinoy ingenuity. Branches are now all over the metro. we tried the one at makati avenue, bel-air, near my hunny's office. Links to this post. Tuesday, September 18, 2007. My first kosher salt. I grew up using sea salt. s...
