What's going on the dinner table tonight? Share with us! I'm making the turkey-ricotta meatballs from Julia Turshen's Small Victories cookbook. Kind of similar to her confetti meatloaf that I made the other night but I still...

Katie Vasquez @NJChicaa It's a sour fruit that grows around these parts. It's part of the cuisine in South and Southeast Asia, but even I don't often see the actual fruit in supermarkets. This can also be turned into candy. If you are ever in an Asian grocery store you...

I was not able to document the growth of my older dog Soju and I only have a few pictures of her as a pup, so I really wanted to take a monthly photo of our puppy Banchan. (Her name is a Korean word meaning side dish, and the...

Katie Vasquez Having a dog really takes up one's time, so it is not recommended for busy people who are always out of the house. The dog would be bored and lonely, and would most likely make a mess.

Katie Vasquez It is really a commitment to take care of pets, so getting a dog is not recommended if one doesn't have enough time. Your decision not to get one now is just right. Dogs have to be fed, bathed, and taken out for walks. They need proper food, vaccines, and vet...

So today I got a party invitation for a 6th birthday party and it says "Instead of bringing gifts, please bring school supplies that we can donate to kids who are not as priviledged as us!" While certainly it is great that this...

Katie Vasquez That's cute! I remember when I was in high school, for every female teacher who was celebrating her birthday, the official greeting on the bulletin board was "Happy 18th Birthday!" If you came closer to the bulletin board you'd see an equation indicating the...

I wonder whether this happens to you. When I look at the clothes online, the model can always show it well and you think you will look the same. It will drive you to buy it. And then I read the comments from other buyers. One of...

Katie Vasquez @youless Some have said the rates online are lower, but here in the Philippines it's not always the case. Plus here, the buyer should shoulder shipping costs and then wait 2 days for the package to arrive. Might as well go to the mall than go through all...

Their song "I Should've Never Let You Go" is one of my favorite songs of all time, but when I ask people, nobody seems to remember Bardot. The group is composed of five women, and one of them has short spiky hair. Anybody...

Katie Vasquez @allknowing Yes, it is believed that doing so will shoo bad luck away. Plus, welcoming the new year with a bang will mean the entire year will be banging in terms of having good fortune all the way.

Katie Vasquez The Amazing Aloha they brought back sometime in 2008, for a few months. It's a seasonal product that may or may not be returned on the shelves. The last time I saw Ube Macapuno pie was in 2004 when I was working at Jollibee. I hope they bring those back soon.

Katie Vasquez I can't for the life of me understand why they stopped selling ube-macapuno, banana-langka, and choco-mallow pies. Those were great, and since I worked in two Jollibee stores I can say we sold a whole lot more of those as compared to peach mango pie.

Katie Vasquez Some people find strength in other people, but recognizing our own strengths and always trying to outdo ourselves is the attitude of winners. If I am given a task, the first thing I think is that I can do it. Then I can proceed to think about how to do it.
