Kitchen Quotes

I love decorating my kitchen with quotes, they serve as my daily inspirations and at times, my "kicker" when I'm feeling not so good and I need a little push.

At the moment, they are stacked strategically in one place -above our fridge. Definitely, a place that's hard to miss, and an area of the house that everyone visits at least once.

I am thinking of adding more (or moving some) to our counter tops, I am not sure yet how to go about mounting them without punching a whole to our wall. (Let me know if you have ideas..) And ohh, most of them are DIYs. I am currently addicted to black + silver.

Please excuse my pics, bad lighting..

Sharing all your secrets with someone

True and kind"

Addicted to Corn

Over the weekend, I bought a few fresh corn in a husk from the weekend vegetable market near our place. I have been wanting to recreate a dish I saw from one of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservation episodes.

On the show he featured a spicy fried corn (from one of his Mexican city trips I can't specifically recall where anymore), but since I am not more of a spicy gal, I tweaked it a bit. I went to the healthy crunchy fried corn route.

This dish is easy peasy and done in 5 minutes! Its a one-two dish yet its totally refreshing and healthy. Promise.

Sauteed Corn with Refreshing Cucumber Slices

You'll Need:
Corn
garlic, minced
onions, minced
a little oil
Salt and Pepper
Cucumber

You'll Do:
Step 1: Saute Garlic and Onions.
Step 2: When onions are translucent, add the corn and saute for 3-5 minutes.
Step 3: Before serving, add the slices of cucumber and a pinch of salt.

Told yeah its easy! Enjoy.

Travel: Inspired by Limestone

Travel: The Rectory Shoot

Technically, this is not a Travel post. This is more of a going-home-to-hometown + impromptu photo shoot post. Anyways, just wanted to share the (again) impromptu photo shoot that hubby and I did. We (a nick more of me) got inspired by the beautiful limestone of the Dalaguete rectory and church.

Fashion: The Burberry Rose Gold Collection

When I saw these on my Facebook feed, I literally said "ooohh". Yeah, that long "oh" sound that is a mix of surprise, admiration and desire -that "oh" that usually accompanies swooning and drooling. J

Burberry and Gold in clothing, two of my favs in one collection. According to the release, this limited edition collection is in celebration of the launch of the Burberry Body Rose Gold Eau de Parfum. The range features beautifully crafted trench coats, dresses and accessories in elegant silk, intricate lace and striking metallic leather. I'm not much of a Parfum enthusiast, so I can happily settle with this clothing collection.

I admit, atm, I don't own a single Burberry (I would if I could, but I can't so I don't. Follow my logic? lol). But that doesn't stop me from wanting and loving these beautiful things. Their beige in tartan pattern trademark in bags and purses made me love them first. The clothing, scarves AND trench coats came second only.

without further ado, gents and girls, let's swoon and drool all together at these lovely, shimmering things..

What I originally liked with Burberry is the classic elegance of their design. This gold limited edition just made  me love them!
