HOBBES AND LANDES Warehouse Sale!

There's something about Hobbes and Landes every time they hold a sale of their items. Their items are unique and you can't find them just anywhere.

You have to pay a premium to their products, so toy enthusiasts, hobbyists, pet lovers and mommies should take advantage of their warehouse sale happening on September 16 to 18 at their Libis warehouse. It can get very hot in their warehouse so wear something comfortable and bring a fan.

Paksiw na Pata ng Baboy

Me and the 2 helpers are always excited to cook after the kitchen renovation. Yaya would make her signature gata favorites due to her Bicolana roots, while Ate would look forward to chopping sprees with our new cutlery sets.

As for me, the first part of the house that I would go to after I wake up (besides the toilet of course) is the kitchen. Just a mere toast of my bread with margarine felt like bliss.

Last Saturday, I decided to make Paksiw na Pata ng Baboy for lunch. Hubby, who does not like pork at all, was in a book signing event and was not around to partake my sinful dish.

I got this idea from one of my favorite blogs. I simply followed the recipe from Home Cooking Rocks/ Pinoy Cook. Since I am still recovering from my operation, I had to compensate my guilt by eating a slice of cucumber after each spoonful of pata with hot steaming rice. It was truly a yummy dish.
