Hey, Fiesta Friends! Sorry, I didn’t have the chance to reply to your comments last week, but I do have a good excuse. I had to undergo a minor surgical procedure that required me to rest afterward. Everything is a-ok and I’m back on my feet, yay! For a while, though, the husband was responsible for the food situation at home. His response to that was typical. He basically ordered takeouts for everything, from breakfasts to dinners. I haven't met anyone else who is so averse to cooking! By ... continue reading...

Fiesta Friday #401
So, I had a momentary memory lapse last week. Or more precisely, I had what you would consider a senior moment. How many more of these moments will I have to endure until I get to be a bonafide senior? Coz it's embarrassing!

I usually put up what I ... continue reading...

Clever cooks would have used a sheet pan underneath the lasagna to catch the spill, but the author of this blog aka I/Ik/Ich/Je/Yo is rarely clever. Now I'll have to spend time cleaning the oven!? Darn! Why does lasagna have to be so good?! And why does it have to be the husband’s favorite pasta dish?! Mine, on the other hand, tends to be the ... continue reading...

The best thing about keeping a garden, other than being able to pick organically-grown vegetables or herbs or flowers at a moment’s notice, is the fact that you can grow varieties of plants otherwise rare or hard to find in the market. Take these beautiful vegetables below, for example. They’re not your run-of-the-mill eggplants, or tomatoes, or zucchini. They’re more interesting because of their shapes and colors and tastes. At times I have a hard time harvesting them because they look ... continue reading...
