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.
Incidentally, the mangoes pictured here were sweet and juicy and absolutely wonderful. More photos after the jump…

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)
I’m a sinigang nut, and can have it every day. This version, made with fish in miso broth, is what I’m craving right now.
The list of Asian women foodbloggers is growing, much to my happiness.
Why was I not informed…
… that Maki of Just Hungry is blogging again? She used to be one of my favorite reads, constantly making me hungry- and now she’s back, and blogging better than ever!
Her Week of Miso Soup, for example. Her food photos are wonderful without looking “too styled” like many food blogs these days. They just… make me hungry.
Yummy Links
Why not have a mid-week roundup of my latest favorite links?
Serious Eats calls themselves “the first website for serious eaters”- and although I don’t necessarily agree (I mean, what about Chowhound?), I’m fast becoming addicted to this site that features blogs, photos and videos on food.
Yahoo Food has quickly become a daily visit for me. I must say I’m loving a lot of what Yahoo’s been doing lately. On their Food section, I’m particularly enamoured by their list of “Recipes people want NOW”- which, right now, has salmon, eggnog, soup, brownies, and salsa as the top five.
Fancy Toast is a blog I’ve just discovered, and yay! The photos are gorgeous, the writing is entertaining, and- oh, it just makes me hungry. Always a good sign. Also, I can relate to the latest post praising husbands who bake… I’m another lucky, lucky girl.
Hello, December
If you haven’t got an Advent Calendar, here’s an especially lovely one (found via a comment on megnut).
Anyway, it’s December! I started re-reading The Alchemist, an old book I used to love and had nearly forgotten about, yesterday, and it’s magical enough to be perfect December reading while not being as obvious as, say, A Christmas Carol (which I will nevertheless read this year, as I do every year!)
