Trying Something New

Amber @AmbiePam (127200) • United States 28 Aug

So you know I’m not one not one for sweets. However, if something looks “different” than the norm, I’ll likely try it even if it is a sweet. Enter these small Matcha brownies I got free to review. I think I’ve had a matcha...

Macy Our local cuisine is very much influenced by the Chinese. I love egg rolls! I had them while vacationing in San Jose, CA. They're pretty much similar to the shanghai rolls that we have here, except that we normally add cilantro to ours. We had store-bought...

I am Up Early.

rakski @rakski (161432) • Philippines 27 Aug

Yes, at 5 in the morning. The reason for that is I have to pick up my daughter for her to go home. She brought some clothes for washing. The Mayor suspended their classes in anticipation of rains today. But they have online class...

Where's The Gravy?

rakski @rakski (161432) • Philippines 28 Aug

Macy That's disappointing. I would've called the branch and demanded a refund. I've done this with a few restaurants that I ordered from via the food panda app. Thankfully, they were willing to either give me refund or send me a voucher.

Power off and on, thunder, more rain, more flooding.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (63052) 19 Aug

It’s not as bad as it was for those seven straight days and nights. We actually had one completely dry day. This week has been Monday showers, Tuesday more rain and a few thunderstorms, and now once again more of the same. Our...

Macy We've been getting plenty of rains, too. I love this kind of weather, but many get derailed due to flooding in the city and in the affected provinces. We're getting 3 days of sunshine then rains will come again. Take care.

Michael @Wrexxo (7470) 19 Aug

Macy Would like to try beans and potatoes. Is it one of your local recipes? We've had more than a week of heavy rains here. Sun's peeping right now, but we expect more days of rain as it's the monsoon season.

Breathe It In

Amber @AmbiePam (127200) • United States 19 Aug

What’s the best smelling thing you’ve ever had the good fortune of breathing in? This is an essential oil reed diffuser, and I have to say I’ve never come across something so amazing. It’s one of those things you wish you had the...

Macy I wonder what that smells like? I love anything citrussy - lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit. We were at a mall recently and I found a small shop that sells soy candles. One smelled of grapefruit and vanilla and I loved it so much.

I went to Goodreads and it’s showing that I’ve read 28 books so far in 2026. I’ve actually read 29 bucks but I could not find one book on Goodreads so I could not add it to my reading challenge. My goal for this year was to read...

Macy Wow, you've read 29 books already? I've finished only 3 by far. I think I put 8 books in my Goodreads challenge this year. No rush. We should just enjoy reading.

Michael @Wrexxo (7470) 11 Aug

It's around 9:12 p.m. and after a long day, I'm finally home having dinner. I spoke with my sister today, and my stepdad won't be discharged just yet. The neurologist wants to keep him under observation for two more days, since...

Orogun Oghenekome @eLdav1s (985) • Nigeria 13 Aug

Your Cool Down Efforts

Amber @AmbiePam (127200) • United States 13 Aug

It is 105 F (41 C) here today, and I’m inside (big surprise). Of course, I am running my air conditioner, but I got my electricity bill, and I want to make sure it doesn’t get any higher next month than it was this month. So,...

Macy I don't know how I'd survive without air conditioning. We spent so much on electricity during the last dry season (March to May) that brought heat wave and all. We're now in the monsoon season, thank Heavens. It's been cold the past few days because of the...

Macy I'm glad you're doing well, Tammy. My eldest daughter was recently prescribed Concerta, but she hasn't taken any because it's out of stock in most pharmacies. Good to know that you've switched to a non-stimulant ADHD med. I hope it works well for you.
