kai it's good to know that you find comfort in butterflies. there's just so many things going on around the globe. whenever i get overwhelmed, i turn to my plants and i try to commune with nature for as long as i can. i hope your neck pains ease up.

I got a very cute "mosquito-chasing-incense holder" that looks like an owl. You put the coil inside the clay body and light it, and it hangs freely so it can put out smoke. Unfortunately, I am used to using the kind where the...

kai we do love it too. it's a no-guilt dish and it's easy to prepare. i might make a similar version but maybe more like a pasta salad with the same ingredients.

kai thank you, it is delicious. we love that creamy garlic chicken pasta as well, and we also add broccoli to it. i would've added cream to this dish too it's just that i didn't have cream in my pantry. maybe next time.

kai @freelancermariagrace yes, that's the plan. i am envious of those who can stay in a proper house and cook good food. i want to imagine that i'm actually a resident of baguio! even just for a week.

Tonight for dinner I made baked chicken and Spanish rice. For a veggie we had seasoned string beans/sliced pickles. It was pretty good! No, I didn't follow a recipe to make the chicken. It's how I've made baked chicken for many...

kai i can imagine how deletactable your dish must be. it kinda reminds me of spanish paella. i might have to try making baked chicken again. we've been having a lot of fried foods lately and that's not healthy.

This new plant was only a few green sprouts, three months ago. Now, it's a beautiful green plant that I really like. Disregard the blossoms around this plant, those are artificial flowers from our wedding. I'm not good with...

How do you use scissors in the kitchen? I use mine in a number of ways. I open packages of food with them. It seems like the food industry likes to make sure we can't get into any packets without a considerable amount of effort...

kai Apart from all that you've mentioned, I also use them to cut cooked noodles or pasta! I don't know how I'd thrive in the kitchen without my kitchen scissors. Sometimes they do a better job than my knives, especially when I need to mince meat or cut up some...

kai It's lovely, Kharla. And I believe that type of ornamental plant (we call it a corn plant -- not to be eaten!) is very easy to maintain and just grows and grows 'til you need to prune it. You're doing a fine job taking care of it. I believe that anyone can...
