Summer means lots of fiestas, lots of family events, too…and, what else can it be?…fooodiesss!!! Last Sunday, we had been to my mother’s town in Rizal, Nueva Ecija, where they celebrated the annual fiesta. We had the luxury of taking home (“pabalot”) suman muryekos. Yay, it was temptingly delish!!!!

Then, Wednesday, it was my mother-in-law’s first death anniversary, it was a potluck event. It was foodie galore as again. Sister-in-law treated us with a whole “lechon”, while I had prepared these pork menudo and chicken a la king…

Then, today, as my boys finished their assigned task, painting and pulling out weeds in the backyard, I treated them with a full plate (this plate’s for the voracious chubby lad^_^) -pancit from my sis-in-law, left-over apple/banana crepe, and deli sandwich. All carbs high…I know…what-the-___ – we loved to EAT here!!!

Summer days, busy days…it’s irritatingly getting hotter each day…but, it is still FUN TO EAT!

Isn’t it?

With the advent of e-commerce, many shops now are competitively working on campaigns to entice every consumers to spend their money and shop. Shopping is the thing that we could not avoid. Hence, to be a smart buyer, one needs to be wary of shops and stores that offer discounts. Who wouldn’t loved every bit of savings, anyway.

Great thing happening online is the use of Discounted digital cards where consumers can get directly from various stores nationwide. These cards can be used to buy basic necessities and other things that needed at home. Through the use of Discounted on e cards, purchases can be managed and consumers can get the best value for their money.

Holy Week it is. Yet, my small kitchen is busy. Holiday and vacation means there are mouths to feed. There’s the “forever hungry” kids who always looked for foods. There’s the eldest daughter who came home from a four-day trip to the mountains of Nueva Vizcaya. They’re always hungry.

And, it seems, I am forever stuck in the kitchen cooking something to satiate their hunger. I’m starting to get a headache thinking what else to cook…Good thing, there’s these dessert boxes from my sister-in-law. What I love about this dessert treat is its quick cooking procedure. No need for eggs. No need to steam.

Each small boxes comes with two separate pouches for the custard itself and the other one for the syrup. All I needed to do is;

• Add 500ml of milk (I opted to use 2 cans of evaporated milk) for each box to make a small mold of this ready mix custard.
• Mix the milk into the powder until free from lumps.
• Bring to a slow simmer.
• Pour in the syrup into the preferred mold.
• Then pour in the custard creme.
• Let it set and when cooled, place in the fridge.

I love doing the old fashioned leche flan, but these quick cooking desserts made me save on precious time. Because, I still have dinner to think about
