For nearly a month now, we’ve been buying almost all our fruit and vegetables at our local farmer’s market, the Ayala Alabang Saturday Market. It’s not a very large market, but the pickings are pretty good, and the feel is very laid-back and Alabang-ish… just as I like it.

Saturday Goodies
Do lobsters scream in pain when boiled? Can you deep fry in EVOO? Answers to these and other pressing questions at Kitchen Myths. (via MegNut)

Planning a Breakfast Bento
Because Louie and I both work from home, I don’t need to pack any lunches- which, I’ll admit, I felt kind of bad about, as it robbed me of more Bento-creation opportunities. Heh.
However! Louie has been waking up a lot earlier than I have lately- I’m talking a good 3 to 4 hours where he scrounges around for edibles while I happily snore away- which gives me an excuse to prepare breakfast bentos for him. Oh joy!
Since I’m officially over my nasty cold, I went to the shops today to stock up. Here’s what I got:
- Mini sausages
- Portugese egg tarts
- Mini cartons of carrot juice and yogurt drinks
Is it wrong to be so excited about this? I’ll post photos of whatever I end up making later tonight.
